So I have the Mono Springs installed, I had air shocks, and just rebuilt the front end, SO I bought some NOS shocks on ebay, so I was all excited to go put them on, so I removed the old school hi jackers, and lo and behold, now the rear sits on its *** BAD.
I have the traction bars that act as the lower plate, and I also have a brand new set of multi leaf springs, SO i wanna install my new springs, but I keep hearing I need a hundred dollar kit to do so. Can I just get the longer U Bolts since my traction bars are the lower plate anyhow?

Any help appreciated

How do those rear air shocks work on a Mono Leaf setup when you plan to put more weight in the car like loaded with tools and a few people?

that was the original function of the air shocks, for towing and hauling, just hot rodders took em over in the 70's and jack their cars up to go over all those L-60's


LOL

But yea they work great, just a kind of a stiff ride
