I was originally going to go with an air over leaf monoleaf setup, but everyone is saying that monoleaf is not good on a daily driver. What are the disadvantages to just leaving stock leaf springs on with air setup? I don't want to spend the money on a four link, but if I do how much? How much for a 2 or 3 link? I will probably do air over leaf due to cost, but if an air over leaf is not good to have on a daily driver then I may have to go with a different setup.

Running a mono leaf is bad becuase it is weak, and the leaf could snap. Talk to one of the dealers about a 2,3,4 link setup like [email protected]

I'm running a mono leaf setup on my Blazer X. (Actually mono leaf and the small helper spring) No problems yet. It rides pretty smooth. I've got a 2 door Blazer X and I'm pretty much screwed unless I want to cut the floor so 4 right now mono leaf it is.

that's the setup i'll be running...main/overload spring, blocks and the slam-air kit. I'll notch it, and hopfully have a decent 2- or 4-link by the end of the summer...but the mono is the only way for me to go for now...since nobody makes a nice bolt-in link setup for blazers:bash:

heck...on my 86 I just have a 4" angled block and the top leaf and the overload leaf left in the pack...no bags either...I've been running the piss out if for the last couple weeks..and last weekend I hit the juice for the first time...so I think if that setup works with V8 on Juice then it should work just fine for you bagged guys.
How ever I know guys that have gotten reall bad axle wrap from it..but I havent' noticed it yet in my truck.
I know that www.silverstarcustoms.com sells a tri-angluar 4 link for $250, and that is what I thought about getting for myself.
Oh..and I have a friend with a 4cyl truck that has had mono leaf'd for over a year now and no problems..
