rear end spring options
 

I recently installed a fatman front end under my c20, shortened the frame (to make a short bed) boxed the frame and triangulated some crossmembers, now I'm ready to install the 9 in. My original intention was to get the calvert raing flip kit with the split mono's but it turns out they dont make the split mono's for my full size truck. I do want to use the caltracs and would like to have split mono's for the ajustable ride height. Is there another manufactorer that makes split mono's for our trucks?

i think you are refering to leaf springs. i would sugest finding a donar truck with rear coils and getting the crossmember and drag arms and springs out of it. much better set up for drag racing in my opinion. anyway good luck...

I'm a trailing arm fan also! It sould be east to swap over to trailing arms. I have coilovers and an anti roll on mine.

I thought about it but I'm just gonna run leafs, besides I dont have one stock corssmember left in the frame. What kind of leaf srping options is there?

if you have to run leafs i would definatly go this rout. use the kit and the springs.. http://www.calvertracing.com/caltracs.html
