monoleaf (FOR A SHORT TIME)

Edited: 5/9/2006 7:31:48 PM by MazDrgnAzz

im on a budget for now, but if i take all leafs out but one, and put some 4 inch blocks in the back, can i drag it? with the rear being bagged of course..

you should be able to, but I ain't sure, i've heard of folks monoleafed, but never actually seen one..

truck might just hop up and down..wont lay...depending on wheel size too..at least thats how s10's are..

i'll admit i rocked the monoleaf for about 2 years. never had a problem until i got 20s and then it wouldn't lay out. but it layed out fine with 18s. i know alot of people don't like it but i never had a problem. if you have a powerful motor or anything like that i probley wouldn't do it. but i just had the stock 2.8 v6 in my s-10. hope that helps.

if it's really for a "short time", why not just wait a short time and do it right the first time? I know this isn't what you asked, but in my experience, doing it quick and dirty usually ends up costing more in the long run...

i've rocked a mono leaf before with no problems, but i flipped the leaf upside down as well.

^^^ with bags though?

I don't really have a problem with mono's for static drops, but i just think that's way to much stress to run one w/ adjustable suspension.

my last truck was monoleafed (de arched) and I drug it like a cavewoman. BUT

The leafs were lower than the frame, so it drug leaf.

The pinion angle was all jacked up laid out, I got vibrations over 40mph.

It lifted like little to nothing with bag over axle.

So link it. And that doesnt mean 2 link it, doing a proper 2 link (is there a proper two link?) on a mazda means moving the gas tank, and if you are moving the tank might as well 3 or 4 link it.

the black mazda in my profile has a monoleaf not the best thing but it works its been that way for about 8 months, my brother in law rocks it around as a daily. Haven't had any problems.

we did mono leaf on my buddies truck and with the mono leaf and block. he got a ton of pinion wrap when he hit the gas pedal.save your money do it right the first time way cheaper in the end.
