My truck needs to be properly re sprung (if I do not sell it) and I am considering mono leafs all around.  Going back to pure stock is another alternative.  I don't carry heavy loads and want to improve the ride which is most uncomfortable. The front springs are too long so the shackles are against the frame which is why the fronts need replacement, although probably new main leaves would suffice.  The rears have some huge overloads on them which keeps the whole thing jacked up and of course hurt ride also.  Maintaining stock equipment is not required but I am not interested in a sub frame and IFS.

 I have heard bad things about monoleaves which seem to boil down to if they break you are toast.  This seems to be a bit overdone in my view because there are millions of vehicles out there with monoleafs.  But I just don't know enough guys with upgraded trucks to know what would be better: good old fashion leaf springs or monoleaves?   What is the current thinking?
