Stock leafs or superstock springs probably not. But do a search on bullet or few other sites, you will see the really fast leaf cars with mono's and caltracks or smith bars are running them in front.
Who? That's not what I see at the track. The baddest leaf car around is likely Rhodes, his are in the rear. It's all about leverage and the farther from the pivot point(front of spring) the more control you have of that leverage

Question for Monte, above copied from another post on shock mounting, after looking at pics WHITEDART posted here, do you know why or when Rhodes switched to shocks in front of axle centerline?
