i was wondering with coil springs you get better offroad capabilities and smoother ride. soo is there way to throw away the old technology and put in coil springs??

with enough money anything is possible, on these trucks it is not easy afaik there is no KIT available to bolt on you would have to lay the groundwork and build it all yourself

Probably more than what the truck itself is worth. Done correctly without shortcuts of sorts. Well depending if you just want to change leaf springs alone or go for the lift in the photos.
