VERY hard and VERY expensive....completely different front ends between your coil spring truck and the torsion bar trucks.. Unless...you wanna solid axle it....

Buy a new truck... unless you want to make it a project. It will be expensive and hard to do. I couldn't imagine doing it.

You can put in a solid front axle but its no where close to being a bolt on mod. You'll need to be a experienced welder and have a decent knowledge of suspension geometry.
