Tamiya Jugg or semi leafs. The Juggs have alot more arch and will provide lift, the semi leafs are almost flat.

I already look that last week and quick question.. the real leave will have couple of those bind together.. some are discontinued.. would you just use single leaf sping?

I'm doing some scale project..

I have the juggernuat ones in stock but they are more for a scaler. Too stiff. I have the diaz designs ones and they are great from crawlers.

When I relocated the shocks on my 1:1 Toyota I developed axle wrap.From the factory 1 shock faces forward and the other faces back,I think this is why I didn't have the axle wrap problems when I bought it.
