Great build man.

Just out of cutiosity, do you ever wish you had the expo pack instead of the allpro standard pack? I'm looking to get either the std pack or the expos. I have a hefty high clearance rear bumper and spare swing out. Thought I'd ask someone with experience since you've had em for a while.

 

I'm glad I went with the standards, I haul camp stuff and a dirtbike with no prob, I would only get the expos if you always had a bunch of stuff in the bed alll the time, standards are soft enough they ride nice and u still can carry shit

 

Nice, that's exactly what I needed to hear. After reading all the back and forth on all the leaf pack threads it helps to get some solid feedback. Thanks

 

Well built the LT

 

Hey man, I got a question about your rear suspension setup. I'm lookin at different options on what to do for mine and lately I'm reading about the Chevy 63s.

My question is, since you went through the trouble to relocate your shock mounts and do a shackle flip with a 5" shackle, is there a reason you didn't go with the Chevy springs? It would have required fabbing up a new front spring hanger but from what I read they flex very well and are a good bit cheaper than a brand new, "Toyota sized" leaf pack.

 

Looking back I would have done the 63 swap, didn't think about it when I was doing the back, might do it down the road tho or do the whole spring under thing. Pretty happy with the current setup, it'll work for a while

 

I've been told about this 63 swap also, but I hear that the leaf pack won't hold up to the weight that my Deavers support.

After seeing @T4C0CH40S newest pics up in Sedona is adding to the want for a SUA rear.

That flex tho....

 

I need to do gears and shit first

 

I wonder about the loss of clearance though. For a truck that sees mostly slower and more technical trails as opposed to high speed stuff, do you think having 3-4" of leaf spring hanging below the axle tube would pose an issue with rocks and such? Or maybe go larger tires to compensate?
