    Because it'll sit a mile high with the spring atop the axle. Forget the transverse leaf and get a set of coilovers with a triangulated 4-bar link and be done with it. Trunk floor remains "unmolested", crossmember is unmodified, and you just add mounts to frame & axle. Ladder bars are not a good idea, either - they twist the axle as it moves up & down. 4 Link is better & triangulated 4 link eliminates the need for a panhard bar.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
