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?

Re: rear end spring options
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...
