A have a friend who has monoleafs on a lifeted Chevy. Granted they may not ride like a lowered spring due to the fact that they are a custom made 10" life spring. That being said, they ride sweet! He had his custom made my "National Spring" I think that they were expensive, but that is because of the extreme lift. Anyway, they ride really good and in an off road application they flex like monsters, he can drive over boulders that are a little over 3 feet tall and keep all 4 on the ground. OK, sorry for not having much to say in the way of your application. I think that they are a great spring and I would go for them. Let the kid have the lowered stance, you might grow to enjoy it yourself.
