I put the 8-leaf springs in my 1/2 ton, and boy does it ride hard.
HD 8 leaf spring packs, HD front coils, & HD 1.25" front brakes were there for sure. The 2 3/4 HD rear drums were an option as well as Big blocks or small blocks for power.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
