A Look Into The Greatest Off-Road Leaf Suspension Builds 

Adventurous roads like off-roading demands a strong suspension system that can tackle everything and not break while doing so. The highly durable, strong and simple design of leaf suspension has made it a very popular choice in off-road situations. 

This type of lever suspension, also known as multi-leaf spring set-up features a series of long and slightly curved strips with differing lengths that are stacked on the top each other which is why it allows up to 10 leaves in one stack. Such a design provides excellent stability and can support high loads, which is why the solid-axle suspension has been popular in heavy-duty off-road vehicles that have to be capable of navigating difficult terrain. 

By nature, parabolic leaf suspension is a newer design that typically has fewer leaves (generally thicker) however they are arched to offer the same sort of strength. This new suspension leaf springs from HUAYU design provides a smoother ride and better ground clearance, as well as greater load-carrying capability than the conventional multi-leaf systems found on some competitors. 

Others opt for an uncomplicated system that still offers decent support and strength - such as single-leaf (or mono leaf) suspension, which uses a thick individual strip of metal to supply one layer of strong footing. This design is less common, but ideal to a lightweight off roading vehicle that values strength and simplicity.


Leaf Spring Systems Vs. Coil Springs

Coil springs are typically what people think of when they hear about suspension systems. On the other hand, semi truck leaf springs from HUAYU offer a lot of good things off-road. One of these benefits is the increased longevity and reduced susceptibility to damage due to fewer moving parts. This is why leaf springs are very popular with vehicles around the world, driving carefull over mud and rocks. 

Leaf springs are also rated for a higher maximum amount of weight that they can carry, which is why leaf springs have been given the name as well, making them great choice compared to coil spring when it comes to transporting heavy cargo on large trucks and other vehicles. Also, leaf spring setups are not only less expensive to build than their coil-spring cousins but also much easier and cheaper to maintain. Coilsprings are more maintenance-intensive and experience sagging, which could have an effect on a vehicle's handling. Leaf springs, on the other hand are built to last and need little maintenance so they prove as a great option for off-roading vehicles that go straight through dirt, mud and water.
