can i weld perches and use leaf springs with mog axles or will they just want to twist up. before you guys start in on me i searched for like the last hour trying to find something on this. my problem is this i am looking to keep wheeling the rig while i build a 4 link front and rear will the leaf spring set up work or will it just be big catastrophy.

The last time I toured around Sth Vietnam I saw quite a few 404 mogs that for some reason had been converted to leaf springs on the rear axle while still retaining the torque tube and Panhard rod. The leaf springs were shackled on both ends. I also saw 404's on straight non portalled axles of possibly Russian or Chinese origin that looked a bit similar to huge Dana diffs.
