Leafs AND Coils

My 70 3/4 ton has leafsprings and coils at the rear end. I think this is because the truck is meant for hauling and towning things but I have never seen a truck with both on before. Another thing is I want to put airbags on it, in the front and back and was wondering if I should replace the coils with bags or put them on the leafs or what? And one other thing, does anybody know what the CST stands for or means? I have been searching around but couldn't find much. Thanks for the advice on anything.

Re: Leafs AND Coils

My guess would be you have either helper leafs on the coil spring setup or helper coils on the shocks of a leaf spring setup.

That's what I was thinking.
