Hi all, I have a 70 GMC long bed with stock suspension and I'd like to put a 5/7 static drop on it. Is it worth it to convert it to coils in the rear or just go with a leaf spring drop in the rear? What are the pros and cons without converting to coils? I have read that the ride can be harsh compared to coils but as of now it has a very nice ride.
