Coils or leafs???

I have an unbelievable original 69, but it's a long bed. I'm going to do a frame swap. Is there any benefit to going with a leaf spring setup?

Re: Coils or leafs???

Is it going to be a hauler or a driver?

Coil spring- better ride

Leaf spring- better cargo carrying ability

That's what I'm thinking, just wasn't sure if there was some other benefit. I don't have any trouble with the coils now, so I'll probably go back with them.
Thanks
