You can't beat the articulation for that price!
However... I have to say the coils are SO soft that aside from the horrible road driving, and body roll, (she doesn;t have the name Tippy Bi@tch for nuthing) when trying to climb a steep obstacle (espcially with my underpowered engine) Tippy will mush down on those rear coils - and then lose some traction up front, making it harder to climb steep things.
I am going to either replace my LC coils with leafs, OR add another set of stiff shocks. (Ideas anyone???) I'll miss my articulation but it just isn't worth all the tipiness and loss of climbing power IMHO.

We run LC front coils, suited to hold up that iron 6 cyl engine.
You run LC rears, not intended for quite as much weight, yours are probably softer yet.
I thought you guys were talking about LC rears.... LOL
