1968 suburban suspension question

[Mikeburban68]

Hello all I'm new on here and have a question I have a 68 suburban with leaf spring rear suspension and would like to swap it out for a coil spring type suspension. Can I just swap out rear ends and suspension ?
Also I want to convert to 5 lug in the front thank you for all the help

The front is very easy, pull entire crossmember, a-arms, spindles and roll it under the 68 and bolt it back up.

The rear is more involved because there are brackets on the coil spring suspension chassis that will have to be transferred over to your leaf spring chassis. Not impossible, just more work. Good luck.

You might look into getting a frame from a part out and use it for all the parts you will need or even do your work on the new frame and swap the body.
