He admits they ride softer, BUT if it breaks it could cause sever damage. I currently have one under my '28 A Tudor Hiboy - flathead powered.

Anyone here have one of them break??
Just last 4th of july coming home from a parade in my 32 highboy coupe I hit a large bump in the pavement @ 45 mph and the mono leaf spring on the front snapped in half about 8 inches from the end eyelet bracket. It immediately put me in a left 180 with the tires squaling and over I went on the passenger side and down a grassy hill. Took about 3 months to repair my ride and now have installed a posies multi leaf super slide spring. Love it and really improved my ride not to mention peace of mind.
