I could go on for days about building a coilover setup on a minitruck. But as for easiest you could go with a shock type coilover like a QA1. They make them for old hot rods that mount just the same as a normal shock absorber does. You would still have to have some sort of locating device for the rear but you could just leave the leaf springs on for that i suppose.

your best bet would be to try and see if any of these will fit

http://qa1.thomasnet.com/viewitems/moto ... &forward=1

you can get the springs from that site also. They are a bit pricey but these are great shocks and they have adjustable ride height of course.

youll also need something like this http://qa1.thomasnet.com/item/motorspor ... &forward=1

check on these as well

they have alot of great stuff on their site and im sure you can find what your looking for there.
