Coil spring to leaf spring conversion?
Over the last 2 weeks I've been doing some research to find out how to level my truck out. I have a 1995 F250 diesel, 2WD. (NOT 4WD.) I don't want to lift my truck (well, I DO, but I don't have the money LOL); I just want to level the front out, so that I can purchase larger tires in the future to effectively drop my RPMs at a given speed.
If the information I have is correct, then I know two things:
1) My truck has coil springs.
2) There are no solutions for leveling a 1995 F250 diesel, 2WD; but a coil spring to leaf spring conversion can 'easily' be done.
My questions are a) is this true? and b) if so, how hard is this to do? I'd prefer to have someone else do it - can a dealership do it? Or a mechanic?

You're probably right about the dealership thing - although I've run into dealerships that don't mind doing that sort of thing. (Although they definitely charge for it.) I know of a few places....I'll have to check them out.
