If it does, the spring will bend in the wrong spot and eventually break. It's usually right in front of the axle. Why do I know this? It's the reason the truck ended up with a 4 link.

Most guys that initially go with an AOL (air over leaf) setup end up replacing their setup and going with a 4-link. IMO, spend the extra money up front and do it right the first time. You're only going to thank yourself in the long run. Monoleafs, like Z16 stated are prone to breaking. This is a proven statement. Not only are they dangerous, but your truck will ride like a dumptruck. Now, imagine your truck cruising down the highway at 60-70mph and hitting a big bump and then snapping one of your leafs. Not a pretty sight. It happens.
