Thanks for the inputs. What I have got from you guys is that leaf springs handle better and are not so stiff. Coils are better for loads. If that is all the difference is, I will keep my coils. I will have all the parts to do the swap but I had no idea that the rear end and trailing arms had to be changed. Sounds like to much work for a little smoother ride.
