Leaf spring difference

Is there a difference between the reverse eye main spring and a mono leaf reverse eye spring? They both look identical???

The reverse eye main spring is used as part of a spring pack
The mono is used on its own

The reverse eye main leaf is a constant thickness. My rear monos are tapered. They are thicker at the center where the U-bolts go, then thin out toward the eyes.

Please don't try useing a main leaf as a Mono leaf.

I know you wouldn't, I'm just **** about suspension, brakes, and seat belts.

Randy answered my question. Don't worry 4tl8ford, I have decided to use my reverse eye main with one leaf instead of none. J/K... Gotcha.
