Question

Converting front suspension

Just wondering if anyone has converted the IFS on an 88 F150 before? im thinking of going to a straight axel/leaf spring suspension and was wondering if anyone has done so before and what steps they have gone through?

Thanks

yea best off to keep the coils if you are looking for articulation...and better ride...it is a ver long process but not too complicated
