Question Mono or multi leaf rear suspension?

I have a 67 Camaro with mono leaf springs. The car is lower on one side, and now i'm going to get new rear springs.

1. Is there any reason to convert to multi leaf springs?

2. What do I need more then the springs to convert it to multi leaf springs?

Thankful for answers!

There are new 3 leaf springs that are considered stock replacement for the monoleafs. You don't need much more than the springs and new pads and bushings. If you switch to multileaf springs(4 or 5 leaf) then you need the multileaf perches which are deeper than the mono perches. You also need the lower shock plates for multileafs. If you're not racing the car then getting some of the mono replacement springs is your best bet.
