If I recall correctly, my mono leaf shocks came with new center pins. I
would recommend changing shocks to those designed for lowered applications.
It made a difference in handling in my setup. I'm also going to have to
remove my power steering box and add spacers to provide clearance for the
springs. Finally, I added a front anti-sway bar. This helped a great deal.
