    Is it possible to run a mono leaf with a coil over?

    Why would you want two sets of springs? You should just put a ladder bar or 4 link in that s10

    Yes but thats not the problem. Spring wrap is the problem. Think of spring wrap as the wandering pinion angle. It can be your friend as well as your enemy.
