Dont carry any extra weight or drive the hell out of it, they will twist and change your pinion angle. its happend to me a few times on a few different trucks that i monoleaf'd.
i monoleafed a old f150 i had and everytime i gunned it i could hear the drive shaft slappin against something on the bottom of the cab(leaf springs werent strong enuf to keep shape), it lasted 2 days. ordered a 4 link and the problem solved itself.
although i've never installed an "aftermarket" set of mono's they may be thicker than regular leaf springs.. hmm are they? good luck, you shouldnt have any probs though, pretty straight forward install, keep a jack under them though, incase they are in a bind, dont want them slinging down and knockin yourself silly. and if you keep two jack stands under your rear end before you even start it makes it easier to line everything back up.
is it a over the axle or under monoleaf kit?(flip kit)

This are after market springs (CPP). Much thicker than a multileaf. They are for the front. The rear was lowered 6" by just flipping the axle with a C-Notch. Thanks for the info
