I'm trying to find out what are the pros and cons of each are.

I already know the advantage for doing rear links vs SOA leafs, to reduce or elimitate axle wrap and probably a little more articulation. But what about the front? If you have a 4 linked rear, what is the advantage of having a linked front instead of a SOA with updgraded YJ leafs. I'm doing a normal shackled front so no reversal, this is a trail rig, not a daily driver. I've heard approach angle is a little better in the linked front but the leafs are a little more stable and help to keep the rig from moving too much side to side in the front.

So what are the pros to having a linked front and cons?

Same with leafs in the front, pros and cons?

I'm not a zuk expert yet:flipoff2:

but with my experience with jeeps, I've always loved the feeling the stability with leafs, I just got an '88 sami last weekend, and I plan on doing 4link in the rear(so that I can stretch it mainly) but will be doing YJ SOA in the front, worse case scenario I'll use the springs as ramps:D rocky road outfitters says the old man emu front YJ springs will allow for 35/36s I plan on running irok bias 36" tire, b/c it actually measure's out to 36.8" of tire, and being that tall..........I think stability will be an important factor
