Converting from Leaf Springs to Coil Spring 1998 s-10 chevy

Hello all you crazy "Wrench spinners":
1998 Chevy S-10 (2wd) 2.2L (MFI) 120" W.B.


Can someone point me in the right direction?

I hate my leaf springs--spills my coffee--, I want to convert over to a coil-over shock system, "thingy".......
No airbags please.
Ratrace; I know of no 'conversion' possible from leaf to coil springs. The coil-over shocks are going to make it worse. Might try some sandbags in the bed of the truck? Pickups just don't ride 'nice' when unladen.

SW Washington There are no bolt on kits i know of. However I have done several, both with bags and springs .It requires a 5 llink set up , and a bit if geometry math to square things up . And a lot of welding . Loren's idea about the sand bag weights may be your best buy . Or buy a crossover for a car ride.

You near Somerset, NJ.. . ??????
I'm a bit south , ocala fl 84' today . check with a local truck club , they have a wealth of knowledge.
