Default leaf spring suspension setups???

Is it possible to get a leaf spring suspension setup on say the honcho or my blazer to perform just as good as my 4link setup? what all would you need? and what would/could you do about axle wrapping?

would using the stock bottom links from the 4link setup with the rcbro's leaf spring conversion and the rc4wd red leafs be a good combo? i'm a noob at the whole leaf spring suspension setups.

i've read through that 2 times now. once before i made this post and then after lol im just trying to figure out how to make this kit more predictable. would keeping my shocks but not having the springs on them help? what if i kept the lower links front and rear from the 4link setup? sorry for all the noob questions.

I left my front 4 Linked and sprung for personal preference. My rear is leaf sprung and I have shocks with no spring. The rear shocks almost get rid of the axle wrap but to me its not even noticeable.
