Half-leaf rear suspension idea - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just wondering if anyone has any experience trying half-leafs and coilovers. I'm thinking that's where I'm heading with my '83. The truck is about a 5/7 drop.

My thoughts are:
C-notch ... Half mono-leafs ... Coilovers ... A panhard bar mounted from frame to some random location on the rearend ... Adding a cross-member with shock brackets to mount the coilovers.

My reasoning:
I have the leafs, I have the panhard bar, I have tons of coilovers. I'd just need to get the right springs.

Any thoughts? Warnings or Do's or Don'ts?
