    1st - Got a question fellas! has anyone used a Mono-leaf spring set up on a 50"s Chevy or Ford? I have been really struggling to get my 52 Rear lower (Without Bags or C-notching). I currently got about 4inch of block back there but its not low enough to even spark my drag plate. I mean I know i could take a leaf or two out, but just thought going with a Mono would be a little safer.

    If I am way of base I apologize....real new to the fab/kustom world (its my first Rod and I just want things to be right)

    If you want it to be right then 4 link it and bag it. Only way in my opinnion to get that low and be safe doing it.

    you'll find getting that low runs into a big problem, its called the frame. and a mono leaf narrow enough for the stock perch opens you to wheel hop, the u-joint killing kind.
    With the axle nearly touching the frame mine still doesn't drag bumper. you wanna play? you gotta pay. get a Gambino c-notch kit and flip the main leaf.
