It's been just over a year in development with multiple iterations, but work has finally completed on the LF4 Leafer Pack! Special thanks to everyone who helped push to make this project the best it can be! The idea of this began as a simple extension of the previous leafer packs but it grew in size and scope well beyond that! Now, these trucks are equipped with a realistic node beam, realistic handling, relatively accurate sizing, high quality parts and more! The three biggest goals of this pack were to build quality trucks which had never been done before in Rigs, make leafers which are fun to drive and to build as many trucks as possible. With quantity being a primary goal, some sacrifices were made to speed up build time so these aren't 100% replica accurate but they're not too far off!
