If the truck is going to be modified and driven a lot, the newer suspension would be a nice improvement. Replacement parts are much cheaper and easier to find than the stuff for the torsion bar suspension.

Here’s a thread showing how I did mine should you choose to swap to the newer coil spring/disc brake front end:

Well this truck is being built to be a daily driver. The work is like 4 miles away so it wouldn't be far but still daily use.
