Project build"er up

WHATS up dudes. so here's the deal as many might know i just picked up my second 69 Longhorn.... I'm going far from original with is since i have one already thats pretty close to orginal. So i'm starting from the ground up the truck is broke down to a cab on a frame right now. I'm adding a new beefier suspension that's going to lift the truck two inches from original height and i'm adding front end leaf springs. how difficult is the conversion from the standard from end to leafs other than the conversion to 4wd which means i need to add a front axle?

You would need to get a front axle from a bigger(over 1-ton) or older truck(pre-60).
