leaf spring or coil over?
I have a 01 f350 that is lifted 6" with 37x13.50 and I am thinking about switching out the leafs up front for a coil over..has anyone done this and how is the ride? Also, the rear leafs what are you running to help with the ride?

I finally saw the coil over kit on a 7.3l a few months ago, but I couldn't find the owner to ask about it. It looked really good. I had always wondered if it was worth the amount that it's offered for. It would be nice to have a smoother riding truck, but is it worth giving up the simplicity of the tried and true leaf springs? Hopefully someone will chime in that has done this kit.

I don't know of a kit that's available. Most swaps I've read about are using an 05+ front axle (and components) as timmyboy76 said. I considered it since I've broken two leaf packs over the past 9 years but the time and cost are not practical for me (I'd have to scrap my Dynaloc free-spin hubs).
