Re: very surprised when i found out my '71 has rear coil springs !!!!

My statement was kinda misleading, and somewhat of a loaded comment.

They are in fact both rated the same.
So up to the load limits, they are both 100% capable.
For mild overloading, the leaf will take a little more abuse, still act as a spring and an active suspention.
For extreem overloading, you will ruin the leafs.
Coils will just go into coil bind... one coil stackes on top of the other.
