Default Leaf spring crawler

I'm looking into getting my first crawler. I want to build rig with front and rear leaf springs. Didn't know if any other companies made them. I know rc4wd makes them. I love the trail finder 2 limited edition chevy blazer. But might step it down to mojave. Thank for any help

It really depends on what you are looking for.

If you are looking for a rig to actually run, I'd go with the G-Made. It lacks in some performance aspects, but isn't terrible for a factory leaf-sprung rig.

If you are looking for the best shelf-queen on the market, then go with the TF4. The TF2's axles are pure crap, the housings, internals, and drive shafts are made very cheaply.

He meant the Trailfinder II yo

Not gonna lie that midnight edition one is pretty cool looking. If I liked Toyotas I'd grab one. The Trailfinders are very popular on Instagram I've noticed. The flavors are bobbed, rusty, dove tailed, lots of window stickers, action figures with fake camp fires, and all of the above kind of like a Supreme version.
