That is gorgeous! I love it. I love everything about it. Makes me wonder if using those two stage leaf springs would improve the ride quality when its unloaded or lightly loaded. Helper leaf springs they might be called, pretty common on large commercial flatbeds. Not just for a more comfortable ride while unloaded or lightly loaded (which he already fixed with a suspended seat), also improves traction and thus handling and safety. But I've never seen an off road vehicle with them, might lead to weird articulation. But with that heavy of spring, articulation wouldn't be great anyhow, and is less of a concern with locking diff anyhow. Anyways, that thing is awesome!
