IIA 88" Suspension Conversion - Land Rovers Only

Anyone convert their suspension from leaf sprung to a coil sprung suspension? If so did you use a kit or have to fab it yourself? Any opinions on this are appreciated.
Thanks

Most people go the new galvanized frame route. You can buy them all set up for coils.

Converting a series truck to coils is quite an undertaking...usually people will start with a d90 frame and then deal with the modifications that that entails.

If ride comfort and articulation are an issue for you, consider parabolic springs...
