Most of the guys are running Landrums.  a few may use afco here and there but the majority are on Landrums. I like the Landrums because the clamps are steel, not a hose clamp.

The clamps are far better, but AFCO springs overall makes a better product.  They hold their arch way longer and are more consistant than the Landrums.  Also, no spring is perfect, to really get your moneys worth, take them apart and roll graphite on each leaf, then re-assyble them.  This is alot of work but the details will pay in consistancy.   JMO     Chad

In the chrysler, the arch is different between the brands- 7.5" on the afco and 6.5" on the landrum.

Landrum dirt is 7.5 or at least mine are.  Maybe they've changed

I have a set of Chrysler leafs and the RR is 5.5" arch and the LR is 6.5" arch 142lbs, I believe they are Afco's.
