I have a GMC and it has leaf springs. (they are broken right now but that is beside the point.) I don't have any numbers but it would be interesting to see how many 2WD trucks out there have leaf springs compared to coil. Just becouse leaf springs where stock does not mean that most people didn't select the coils. One other possibility is that alot of trucks could have been converted after the fact since it is a direct bolt up conversion with no new holes or anything to drill. I've been considering doing the conversion on mine since it will be easier to lower and bag. The only bag option I've found for leaf springs are helper bags and that will not help my handling very much if at all. All that will do is help my truck when I hall a heavy load and since my GMC is no longer a work truck the biggest load it will ever see is towing a ski boat. Bags just wouldn't be worth it for me if I leave the leaf springs back there!
