Im looking into this too. Can you just put the coils on or do you have to do both leafs and coils

you could do just coils and it would probably work to the effect of a leveling kit. i got 2 inches of lift in the front. the 3/4 ton springs in the back really jacked it up though. so my truck sits higher in the back for now.
