This is one I am wrestling with right now. The little truck (S10) we are 
building has leaf springs. I am just not comfortable with wrap up, wheel hop 
and uncontrolled pinion angle that I associeate whith high torque applied 
through leaf springs. I am considering using the leaves with a connection to 
the axle housing that allows the housing to rotate with a ladder bar to control 
the pinion angle and aid in some weight transfer. I think it is called a 
floater set up.
