By Outer Cs i guess he's referring to the the outer knuckles, but that doesnt have anything to do with how difficult it is. Even If he meant the Inner Cs, it still doesnt make a difference in difficulty. Maybe he was thinking of the later model axles having the diff further offset? But that would only make a coil swap harder, not a leaf swap, and it would save you work in trying to get the diff to clear the x-member, so its kind of a...
