Coils spring frame to leafs?
I've seen leaf spring trucks converted to coils. Can coil springs be converted to leaf's? I'm pretty sure there are frame differences that make it difficult.
I see a lot of conversions from two wheel to four wheel on the board, but in reality they have been frame swaps. With a lot of places needing all numbers to match ... vin, frame, titles, just wondering if its possible to convert without a frame swap for legal reasons. Yes I know its not a big deal for some states. Just talking about the rear, I know there are plenty of ways to swap the fronts to leaf's. And lots of ways to deal with crossmembers too.

Get the back half of the donor truck axle, spring and all. Then you will know were everything goes. I was going to do that swap but I couldn't find a donor in my price range. I wanted to to go with leaf springs so I could put a inside the frame gas tank from a 73 in it.

Re: Coils spring frame to leafs?
I dont have any of this stuff. Ive just been reading the 4x4 area a lot (my last three road worthy trucks were 4x4, getting nostalgic I guess lol) and I didnt see any thing like what I was talking about over there and wondered why it wasnt a thing.
