leaf/coil
How much work is it to convert my leaf spring rear suspension to coils? What will I have to buy? Thanks in advance, Larry

Why do you want to swap. Is the ride that bad.

It's not terrible, but I am going to make a cruiser out of my truck and I hear the coils ride so much nicer. I also have a line on a coil spring rear w/ higher gearing than my 4.10s
