solid front axle conversion??

new user herei have a 1984 f150 with a 300 and was wondering how hard it would be to convert to a solid front axle, what all would i need to do the conversion? and what would be harder to do,leafspring or coil

any help would be appreciated

i rolled a 1979 bronco axle under one 8 years ago and its changed hands 5 times since then and still baffles anybody who tries to get parts for it. Using the radius arms and brackets along with the shoch brackets (the drivers has the panhard bar bracket)it was a simple swap and was running in a couple hours
