To make the leafs work a lot smoother you can take them apart, sand them down to a fine grit of sand paper, basically polish them up and add some dry graphite lube or teflon coating to them.
Cant you rotate the leaf spring so that the push rod is square with the spring at ride height?? Besides compressing the spring there is side force on the spring too.
As someone who’s thought of something like this since i was rather young and just building my understanding of the the concepts of different kinds of suspension, i just stumbled upon this and am fairly sure its purely to try it, see it done. Be the one to do it since nobody else did. Im pretty happy i found this cant even lie 😂 hope you enjoy it if you watch it again to see what I’m even talking about.

Or thin strips of tuffclad hmwpe
I thought the main advantage of leafs was their simplicity, why not use coils or bags in this scenario?
That’s really cool

Use quarter elliptical springs, works better
I’m not exactly sure of the why here. But it is kind of cool.

whoaa ..so complicated ..
Show more very cool I'm building a rig and am looking for something different than the ordinary
Leafs can work also without shocks! Coil springs cant!
