Would monroe air shocks solve this problem? Just air up slightly until no more bang bang

anyone now a good source for the air monroes?

yeah i havent installed the leafs yet...and yes air shocks will help im running air shocks right now...my truck will sit three inches lower than it does now

if you run blocks on top of the lower'd leafs, no, you'll have very little if any clearance inbetween the frame & the top of the axle tube, now if your gonna run just the leafs, yeah it will help.....only solution to run that much drop & not have clearance issues is to notch the frame

air shocks will help keep you off the frame if you air up a lil more...

I installed a set of airs, and it works perfect... Just air them up until the axle aint making friends with the frame

thanks todd...

I agree. I have my mazda with 3" leaf springs and a 2"block. The bumpstops are cut to hit the frame an inch before its metal to metal contact. The ride sucks because there is no travel. It bumps like a mow fahkka!! The mazda looks great, I just wish I knew how to post pictures to show you guys. Plans are to take out the 2" block and install it back again intill I nocth the frame. Hopefully by this year!!! Its too rough of a ride and you tend to mest up your u-joints. Also its not safe.
