      composite rear leaf?

      For those running rear composite leafs, what shocks are you running with them? I am planning on them by the end of the year, but have a chance to free up some money for new rear shocks. I figured I would probably go with Varishocks to match the front but wondered if I would need the doubles like I did on front.

      From your experiences, is traditional valving for leaf springs pretty close to where I can save some money with the single adjustables or should I get the doubles?

      Is this overkill and will my Edelbrocks work okay with the composite leaf?

      I'm running Strange single adjustables, and I would recommend them. I've found they require stiffer valving than steel springs, but I don't really see the need for double adjustable shocks.

      Good to hear some feedback. I just picked up some 150 pound composites. I will probably see how they do with the Edelbocks to start since that is what I have.

      I was hoping that singles would work, although I was a bit worried since there was no way I was going to get the front to work without doubles. I have such a split between valving that I was afraid the rear was going to need the same.

      If I go with single adjustables I will go with Varishock since that is what I have on front. Hopefully the new springs will be hear by Friday and I'll see how things go.
