getting a mono leaf to lay depends on how dearched it is and the wheel size.

but a few things to check.. are your bags fully deflated when you are at your lowest point? if so, your brackets needs to be moved. if you arent and your shocks arent holding you up either (if they are bottoming out before you lay out, that is your problem).. also if you arent hiting the notch.. you are good.. if both of these are good to go, then your leaf is holding you up..

sounds like the monoleaf is the problem. I knew a guy with an s-10 who flipped his springs from side to side and upside down to make the truck want to lay. Pretty cheesy though. Would be a good idea to do a 3 or 4 link.

if its only like an inch from layin get a 1' inch lowerin block and put that on.ur leafs might be 2 stiff to let it lay

Id your axle bottoming out on the frame???? You probably have to notch the frame to get it to lay full frame all of the way back. I know we did this to a truck a few years ago. He was running pathfinders and some lower profile tires. I cant remember exactly but I think we only had to notch the frame a couple inches. It wasnt very much at all. (We were also using the stock spring pack minus most of the leaves.)

you will never lay full frame with the leaf spring mounts still in, they are lower than the frame. You can drag almost through your leafs and not lay out, ask me how I know?

Otherwise the most you can do is lay perch, and if you arent laying perch you need to dearch the leafs. Too much block and it will hang lower than your tire, cant do that relaibly anyway, stacking 5 inches of block is bad. Dearching is done by spring shops, try a company that deals with semi trucks, there is usually one in every town. Costs about 75 bucks here.

okay thanks i have dearch the leafs already so thats done. iam running 13" wires on 75-80 series i think so, but the frame is notched though. should i just get ride of the torsion bars in the front and 3 or 4 link the rear, but is their any way around it for now.. thanks
