Question What Would You Do

My 68 Chevy SWB Step came with rear leaf suspension (option).

I am in the process of a complete body off and have another complete chassis (rear coil).

I want to do a 4/6 static drop, dependable driver.

Which chassis suspension setup would you choose and Why?

I would go with the coil setup because I think It's easier to drop. And I think the setup looks cooler. If you plan on hauling I would stick with the leaf springs. I have a leaf setup and I have a 2" shacke and 3" dearched springs. I mabye just want what I can't have. There is really nothing wrong with either setup.
