replacing suspension

I'll post on suspension board too but need to make a decision soon. I'm having upgraded coil springs replaced with "stock" 1/2 ton and the extra leaf in the rear removed (have 5 leaves stock). It was set up to carry an 8' cabover camper and pull a boat which I seldom do anymore. It's just way to stiff. Any suggestions on the springs? How to check the king pins while I'm in there? Also have urethane bushings for the leafs and the "I" beam pivot/adjustment if needed. Your experience's could make mine mo better!

I have a thread titled "Emergency King Pin question" about the fun I had rebuilding my front end ('79 F100 300-6). It's a couple of pages back.
