Okay guys I've been mono'd for about 3-4 months now and just this AM on my way home my rear end seems to be riding rougher than usually first thought was maybe a cracked leaf and now I'm super paranoid about driving anywhere... I checked the main leaf out to check for cracks and found nothing at all. But I'm still worried about leaf spring failure and losing control while being at highway speeds. So in your honest opinions what should I do? (that's relatively cheap remember I'm a broke ass mofo!)
Should I keep it mono'd? I do have my overload still in place and the rear end hasn't sagged anymore than usual. I don't wanna raise the rear up but I don't wanna get into a catastrophic accident either. How long does a setup like mine usually last? I'm sorry to be so whiney and shit. Thanks in advance,



Fred

Ive heard of this setup last years with no problems. Is everything still tight?

I have a solution for u sitting in my driveway as we speak.

That's a pretty good solution lol just double check that your u bolts are still tight, if your running aluminum lowering blocks you should check the u bolts at least once a month (I was told) bet that's the problem. Double check everything's nice and tight. I've been torqueing the u bolt nuts to 80ft-lb's... Not sure if that correct but seems to work good then recheck every 3-4 weeks.

Alright guys I'll quit freaking out and I'll double check my u bolts tonight before work. Thank you both for the advice!!!

Ill sell it to you cheaper than it would take to buy a set of 4 bags

When I have the money bro I'll be buying that from you. But will it fit my truck?

I'm sure it will, but you might have to add some tails to the frame for the long bed mounts.

Good idea! I never thought of that! For real!
