55.2-59 55-59 straight axle

[jeffs56]

Hey guys I’m just about done with the disc brake conversion kit on my 56 Chevy truck. So I got to thinking. Since I’m using the dropped axle and leaf springs in front. And everyone tells me it’s going to ride like crap lol. So I was thinking could I get away with using a coilover shock in the front instead of a regular shock to improve the ride? Does it not work like that or what do you guys think? Thank you
