I have reg. leafs, but with rev. eyes. You get about 1.5" when you rev. the eyes. I also run a 390. A couple people here run the mono leafs and I think for the most they like them.

we carry them also but anyway not here to sell them but standard eye can lower 2-3" & depends on how heavy on wahts in the engine compartment & reverse eyes can go 4-6" also on what motor is being used & Mono-leafs carry the same load capacity just like big semi's that have been using mono-leafs for many years

So the standard eye mono leaf gets you 2-3" over stock height? I'm pretty sure that's what you said, just confirming.
If so, then I might need to think about that if my drop axle/rev. eye leaf spring (non-mono) doesn't get me low enough.
How's the ride with the monos?
Hmmmmm?

So, If the reversed Eye mono leaf ends upgiving me too much , Could I then add a leaf to get some height back?

Mono-leafs are designed for a better & smoother ride so be sure which ones you want & if thinking about adding a leaf then it will distort the ride & as far as heights it ALL depends on the running gear you are running & all of its accessories, Thanks

Buddy of mine has a '63 uni with monoleafs. Rides like a ship on the ocean.
Might be better if he had shocks that fit. Doesn't take much to load up the box, I would not say they have the same load range as stock. New shocks/right length would change things for the better, if you could find'em.

I am currently running the regular drop mono's, and they set it down probably 2-3 inches. The rear monos dropped the truck much further, and I had to build 3/4 inch lift blocks to keep it up a bit.
I have a set of reversed eye monos that I would like to sell if you are still looking for some
