I used 52" rear springs which flexes real well, but not so great on the street. For more street driving, you should use front springs, but it won't flex good. Coil springs would be an interesting setup. I would like to see that. Watch that rear 60, they are easy to kill in a full size. I killed one and found a cheap 10.25 to build.
What transfer case are you running? Is your front output a slip yoke style? From what I'm reading the front output doesn't have enough slip for the flex of a solid axle truck. It looks like a NP241 is a bolt in unit, and you can buy slip yoke eliminators for them.

I wanna try the radius arm and coil overs, just to be a little different. I haven't seen anyone around here running this set up yet. Not sure if i'll throw the 60 under the rear or if I'll just regear the stock 3/4ton rear end for now, since it already has disc brakes.
