Re: Truck stance with Mono-leaf Lowering Springs

Quick question for everyone. I am currently running a 3" CPP drop axle with 3 leaf springs up front. At ride height the springs are almost flat (350 sbc engine). Out back I flipped my 12 bolt axle to above the springs.

For the most part I am happy with the static ride stance, my problem is the front leaf spring position/lack of suspension. I am worred that over time the suspension movement will bend the leafs. If I went with the Posies super slide drop springs up front what do you think it would do to my ride height?

Here is a pic of the stance currently and thanks for your input.

Re: Truck stance with Mono-leaf Lowering Springs

Truck looks good! I'm betting the posies will raise you up a bit. My stock springs with two leafs removed were straight across (flat) my New posies have an arch. See previous pics... They only drop i gained was the fact that the posies had reverse eyes. About 1 inch. Good luck.
