I'm one of the lucky guys that is blessed with a leaf sprung truck, and i have been looking into drop options. I was looking into a flip kit, then I went and looked at GMC Pauls web site and saw they had mono leafs "that ging superior ride and handling" I was wondering if anyone had experence with this product. I have heard that drop leafs ride like cr@p. any help would be great.

I will be putting drop leafs on mine soon. I got them from Brothers. They are 4" drop. I'm going with those and 1" shackles. I got my 2.5" drop spindles and 1" drop springs from ECE. Just haven't installed any of it yet.

I've had several set of leaf springs dearched at my local spring shop. Price was just a tick under 100 for both of them. You just tell them how many inches drop you want and they do it in an hour or so.

I never had a complaint about the ride quality afterward either.

how is the ride on them?

I was always really happy with the ride that resulted.
