You can do either front or rear but you have to get the oppposite end leaf spring rate set up right to work properly with the coilover spring rate. And unless you're a chassis set up guru that's usually a challenge so people typically convert both ends to coilovers.

I'm converting to coilovers soon, complete kit from Van Steel should arrive next week.
