Multi link rear suspension in 2013 Ram

Just curious as to what everyone thinks of a multi link suspension in the rear of a pickup(like the kind the 2013 Ram is using) Better then leaf springs? Worse? Supposedly it can handle the same payload as leaf springs, but offers a better ride. What does everyone think?

You mean like a 3 or 4 link? With out the leaf spring the only thing giving now is the shock. Which can be tuned and worked with way more than an uncontrollable leaf spring.

Not sure exactly. I heard the new Ram truck had multi link suspension in the rear, and I know most trucks depend on rear leafs.I was just asking if everyone thought a multi link, like the new Ram is using, is a good idea or bad.
 
Just curious because, I remember reading somewhere, that it's able to handle the same payload as the previous model, that had leaf springs. I was surprised to hear that.I was under the impression that leaf springs were best for payload.
 
Coil springs have been used for the rear suspension of trucks before. Leaf springs are just a cheap, effective way of running suspension.
 
They had sales?

Personally I like the bumper cutouts for the exhaust. It doesn't look redneck like all other aftermarket dual exhaust kits.
 
Well a little straight piping and tuning can fix that though and yes I know its illegal but hey who cares I love the sound of a straight piped diesel that rolls coal
