Leafs are cheap. That’s the reason used.

Torsion outlasts it. Leafs need rebuild almost continually. Someone says they don’t, tell them to disassemble. The wear is always there. Dozens of wearing parts per wheel. A Tosiin AXLE has about seven all told.

Slow miles offroad DONT trump miles at highway speed.
not for you they don't, or myself either. to each their own.
