I broke it
I broke a leaf in the pack of springs, is the top leaf alone strong enough with a lowered truck?

Not really. It's advised not to run a truck with just a single leaf. I'd use at least two. If you stomp on it (or use it as a truck), add more. If not, you may end up with a waaayy lowered truck.
 Got any pics of your ride?

I do not really have the answer for you. Just want to welcome you to the board. See where this is your first post. Welcome from Kentucky.

I wouldn't run it that way. I have two on my bagged 77. Just one would worry me.
Btw- Welcome to the forum!

POR-15 is really great stuff. Tuff too. But do not put it on any parts that will be in the sun. Big NO-NO. But great for frames and other parts that do not see the sun.

That would be fine if you wanted charcoal grey. But it is not (in my openion) a pretty charcoal grey.
