I have the monos on the front of my truck, it did lower the truck about
3 inches or so. Looks a much better stance. I did not experience any
type of steering problems, as a matter of fact after rebuilding, I made
reference in an earlier post, the truck drives much much better.
The ride is not what I would call bouncy, nowhere near as bone jarring
as stock. I personally am very pleased with them, The results can be seen
on my web site along with a photo of the installed springs. Just go to
