well I guess that narrows it down then. I am just a bit concerned with teh look of the cross country ones as they look huge and I reckon she will ride like a brick with them on. Had a look at bubs 4runner and his fronts looked much more supple and still had good lift.
But it is good to get views. He did mention he was gunna change em :>

I have ran the ones you are looking at and i had nothing but trouble with them off-road they bent repetedly and are too stiff.
The 5 leaf Crosscountry spring was the best i found for ride and flex but dont last very long. To me this was a compromise i could live with. They were cheap.

brad this is why i got rid of the rear ones 
but i did remove the load leaf and had no track bar on a heavy ass 4 runner - but i like my mazda setup a lot more now any way

Yeah the ones i am running are the stock nissan ones with a few leaves removed in the front and just the custom main leaves fitted to the rear ones.
How do you tell if they are the parabolics?

The parabolic leaves start off thick at the centre bolt and gradually thin out towards each end. Some of them went thick again at the ends it depends what model they came out in. I'm pretty sure all MQ's came out factory with the parabolics .
