i wouldnt go to leaves... the only real upsides are they are easy to lift and dont dogtail when lifted.
the leaves are pretty stiff and, well, i wouldnt do that. the coils ride pretty sweet compared to leaves in my opinion.
beautiful truck, btw! nice and shiny!
can i ask why the *** of that truck is riding so low?
its got dual exhaust, right?

i'd only throw headers on it if u plan on cranking 3500+rpm a lot... i thot about headers for mine, but the only time the thing is really gonna be cranked is at the local mud bog, and that's only once a year where i live.
but i'd definitely get the flowmasters... theyre worth the price!
i got dual straight pipes on mine, but i was planning on making mufflers for it (a bit too noisy for street use).
i'd also go with a high lift cam for some more hp... make the truck a bit more fun!

welcome to fte,great looking truck,nice and clean.I'm not too sure I'd swap from the coils to leafs,like 75F350 said,alot of guys are going from leafs to coils,the coils offer better ride and articulation for offroad.but that truck doesn't look like it sees offroad much.
