I wouldn't recomend it. We used to make a coil-over conversion kit for C-10's, it was a slow seller. Some compaies still have them available. The mounts are plenty strong, but really not designed for the spring load. For the most part, I can't see any ride quality or performance increase (other than spring preload adj.) gained from coil-overs vs. coil & shock. There may be a slight disadvantage with a coil-over by not leveraging the spring.
