So the best and easiest way to achieve this is with leaf springs? Fabricating mounts to hang leaf sounds lots easier than trying to do coils.

WELL NOT ONLY EASIER BUT ALOT CHEAPER . 300. FOR KIT + HALFDAY= FOUR LINK WILL COST 800. PLUS FOR ALL THE PARTS AND SEVERAL DAYS TO GET EVERYTHING ALIGNED AND MADE UP WITH ALL THE HIEMS , BRACKETS LEAFS DON'T FLEX LIKE COILS BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO WORRY

leaf springs are by far MUCH easier to fab up than a coiled suspension...lol

That's what I figured looking around the web at other sites. A plan has been hatched in my head for a while about this, Just need some more knowledge, not even sure of the questions.
Re: Stretching wheel base give more flex how?
yep, main concerns with setting up a leaf suspension is just mounting brackets (which on a framed vehicle are simple) pinion angle, and caster angle for the front.
