Suspension upgrade.

I'm asking this question for a friend. He has an 01 F350. Can he up grade front end suspension from leaf spring to cool spring and if so what places do you recommend to get parts?

My 2wd came with coil springs. Anything is possible if he can fabricate the mounts.

If you are talking about swapping in a 05 up coil spring front end then yes it’s a bolt in swap minus honing out pitman arm and few small things. I’d suggest getting a rolling chassis the rearend is wider along with front end on a 05 up.
