The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop Lowering 1948

Im thinking of lowering the front suspension with monoleafs, my question is who sells them and what is the price. Thanks.

Patricks, in Arizona, carries them - $390 for the pair. I put them on my '48, and I've very happy with them. However, you need to realize that you'll also have to lower the rear unless you want the truck to "lean" forward. Patrick's sells a lowering kit that includes the front springs plus lowering blocks, shackles and shocks for the rear for $500.

They're not much for web presence , but they know AD trucks inside and out, and they're good people who can be trusted. (Not saying that Brothers can't be.)

I posted Brothers as an example of cost, not necessarily as a vender. They are close to where I live so I have purchased parts from them and they seem to be OK. Most venders that have custom parts for these trucks carry these springs. I got a set of mono leaf springs from my local spring shop. They also had the shackle kits on the shelf.

I've got a set of "mono's" on the front of my AD. I've never been real happy with the ride quality (too stiff). I talked to Patrick awhile back and he said he was going to stop selling them and go with a multi-leaf lowered spring. I'd take a look at Posie's twin-leaf set-up if I had to do it all over again.

Thanks for the replies.
