i have the bed off, the brakes working, and im ready to drop the old girl. im thinking about running mono leafsprings with reverse eyes front and rear. plus a dropped axle in the front and i might even flip the leaf in the rear under the axle. has anyone else gone this route? what parts did you use? what parts should i stay away from? i dont want to bag the truck yet. i just want to lower it for now and enjoy it. bagging it and a new engine will come later. thanks

I have reverse eye monos in the front of my Uni, love em! I think there is a pic of them in my album, or my photobucket (gregdvsn is my photobucket name).

tcoup,
reverse eye mono leaf springs come from Classic Performance Products or CPP. some truck suspension places can reverse the eyes of your stock springs and de-arch too. Eaton may have or can make springs to lower you truck too.

You can have the main leaf of your stock springs reversed (they actually just flip them over and reverse the arch) but you will need to retain at least a few of the rest of the spring pack. New reverse eye monos are much thicker in the middle so they will hold the weight with a single leaf. Considering how nice my Uni drives & rides with them they are well worth the price IMHO.
