Get hold of a BFH and allow more time that you figured for switching the shackle pins and spring eye bushings. An extensive knowledge of cuss words and a cold beverage helps. We have a press which takes most of the fun out of it. If pocketbook is healthy I like coil overs for a both good and stable ride but this means a lot of fabrication by the time some type trailing arm (4 link/ladder bar) and a Panhard bar is in place. We have also used the Lincoln/Corvette/Jaguar independent rear suspension which gives a truck that can run autocross.
