Leaf to Coil Swap Questions????
I know this has been asked before, I'm sure but if I wanted to convert my leaf spring rearend to coils would I have to change that crossmember under the cab or would it just bolt right up, I'll post a picture of the crossmember, I believe that the trailing arms would bolt right up to it but I'm not sure. Any helps appreciated.

It will bolt right up you are going to have to get a pan hard mount for the frame though is there a hole in your rear end for the panhard bar to connect to

Re: Leaf to Coil Swap Questions????
So it will bolt right up, thats good. I've know where I can get the trailing arms and so forth, but if I were unable to get them, what would be your price? I would have change the rearend also wouldnt I, I mean I can get that too but it would be great if I could use my exsisting rearend.
and btw thanks for the info.
