Lot easier and more options to beef up the rearend imo.

"Easier...???" Not at all. The Chevrolet coil spring truck arm suspensions worked great in both the 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks. It doesn't get much "easier" than replacing coils, it's a one man job. And compare the cost of springs and you will soon find out that the coil set-up is much more economical also.
