Rear end leafs or 4-link

Ok, doing some more thinking. What do most of you recommend? I am looking at a nice daily driver and have an explorer rear, 700R trans, 305 motor. I see both but need to decide. Any pics as well since I am all new to this. Most kits in looking seem to be close in price.

You could put a set of S10 rear leaf springs from the salvage yard in it for less than $100 and be riding.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

$100? Heck, I have a set of S10 springs.... and three complete doors, that I can't GIVE away. You are correct though.... leaf springs are waaaaay cheaper and quicker than 4 link setups
