I know where your coming from ,the theory looks good , feels good, works good ...until.The old leaf spring and the later coils have been proven , My old 1962 EK Holden had both and never let me down and it took a hammering on the Nullabor and right around up to
Darwin 1967.
Now you might remember the Hydralastic
Suspension BMC used on the Austin 1800, Morris 1100 and one of the Mini models, it gave a fantastic ride and Dads 1800 took the Brewwarrina corrugations in it's stride but some people had trouble with one side loosing oil and I seen a few cars getting along with one side dropped.
Now I've seen Lancruiser traybacks with 2 to 4 200ltr drums on and they carry it ok, now I have taken notice of the difference in the size of the pack on my Troopy with OME , the pack is nearly half again as thick and the car is not rough to ride in on the dirt,But like everything there advantages and disadvantages and one learns to accept what you got,
On parting i see the little pic of your 4x4 .....nice car, air-con'..so whats the story
