Fiberglass Monoleafs.......?
Anyone running these? I heard some say that they can delaminate if the drivetrain gets shocked a lot. This is going to be a daily driver with the occasional clutch dump.

I have an unlimited budget. That bad part is I have already used it up.

I've heard a couple sides of the story. Some people love them, others have their problems. I have heard of someone that had to ride the shocks and bumpstops home because he snapped the springs. Funny thing is, he got the same springs again. I'm thinking that you just have to keep an eye on them.

The above is what most in the syty crowd do... A lot of ppl with syty's have them (Flex-A-Form is the brand of choice BTW) and if they start showing signs of delaminating its time for replacements. Most all the high hp trucks have broken or at least delaminated one or two sets. Other less aggressively driven or lower hp trucks dont tear them up nearly as much (it does happen to them though).
