that may work, i think that converting the crossmember with the 73-87 stuff, using the 73-87 1ton lower control arms, 88-98 lift spindles and calipers, and then getting lift coils for the front, and the spindles being 2.5, you could get 3in coils for the front, get new u bolts for the rear, swap the trailing arms on top of the rearend, and that should get the roughly 5-6in lift on a coil truck......sounds like a project for the future.......on another truck, not my 70, dont feel like tearing into my 70 right now, i think ill try this on a long bed. i dont know if coil or leaf rear, i think coil would be better with a good sway bar out back because of the way it flexes, and bounces well, compared to leaf that doesnt really flex as well, and you could get better bounce for small bumps/jumps with coils.
