anyone ever convert back to coil spring rear from leaf?
Just curious if anyone has done this, seems like you would just have to mount the cross members and brackets on the diff and frame for the panhard

Re: anyone ever convert back to coil spring rear from leaf?
What year of truck?
I have seen kits to change to 73/87s over to that type of suspension. And I am thinking about doing it to one of mine.

I wouldnt think it would be to hard to change over, probably just add the crossmembers and other associated pieces into place.

Re: anyone ever convert back to coil spring rear from leaf?
If I am not mistaken the crossmember should already be there. Just need to get the control arms, coils,and the correct rear axle or perches.
