Like getting the leafs flattened out or whatever so there's no spring in em.
I won't be towing, racing etc.

Check that video out, it is essentially a two-link. As you can see, monoleaf can throw your pinion so out of whack when ride height is not perfectly set every time you air your truck up, that causes vibrations and premature wear of parts. Also, when at ride height your axle will be centered in the middle of the fender (if setup correctly), but at any other ride height the axle will be slightly off-center (closer to the cab) from its factory position, which looks goofy. That setup also promotes side-to-side movement, which you dont want no matter what style of driving you are doing, a watts link might work for stabilizing the axle, im not positive, but with this setup it is more important than any other to add some type of stabilizing bar(s) that is connected to the frame besides the point where the link bars are. IMO there is no reason to do this setup on a truck that youll drive regularly, a 4-link is EASY to do and make ride awesome - especially since you know someone who can weld (buying a weld-on kit is tons cheaper than a bolt on kit). Also, ive heard that BOA doesnt ride great, but is best for towing, and since you wont be towing i wouldnt run that setup. A 4-link would lend itself to adding spring cups to the bars much more than a monoleaf setup. Leafs break with a monoleaf if not setup well, too. You also might want to look into tri-3-links. Mono and 2 links will get you on the ground for cheaper, but you wont be as happy in the long run IMO, especially on a daily driver. Im no expert, and there are more reasons to go 3 or 4 link, but those are the most important ones, but if I were you I would stay away.
Anyone feel free to add to/correct this info as you see fit.
