I would think you would need some sort of axle wrap bar as well.
With only 2 leaves to locate the diff she would wrap up pretty bad.

G'day mick,
I had a '84 extra cab with a full coil+leaf conversion from Outback Suspension and was very impressed with the package. It was a comfortable ride on the road and articulated well. I could drive it at seventy kays over the massive speed humps at my mates house and it loved it. It ran two leaves on the front and I think four at the back. The coil springs provided about 3-4 inches of lift and when you took the bolts out of the spring eyes at the back of the rear leaves they moved downwards. This meant that your ride was coil only for four inches of travel and the leaves only came in after that on the big hits or big loads. I had prevoiusly owned an identical vehilce with full Ultimate Suspension and the coils were HEAPS better. I did not use it off road all that much but was happy with what work it did do. I have pics if you want them but don't know how to post.[/img]
