front suspension options

[Midgets50]

Ok so ive been trying to figure out what to do with my 49 chevy i did a solid 4x4 axle swap on it. now its getting closer for me to sell the 235 and tranny and get the 4bt diesel im putting in. now for my question, what should i do for a front suspension. will my leaf springs handle it or do i need to convert my setup to a coil suspension. I will not be doing anything extreme, just some light mudding and mostly pavement driving. here is how it sets before school started up and working on the truck got put on the back burner

The 4BT is around 600lbs dry weight. Keep your leaf springs, coils suck.

Yeah a 4bt is around big block weight keep the leafs and if you have to you can get custom leafs made to handle the weight.If you have a local spring shop they can make them or worse case call up denver spring.
