Help with rear leaf pack decision

I'm going to be redoing my rear suspension and am looking for some input on the leaf pack. I can't decide between the All-Pro expos or Dakars. I will be running a shackle flip and shock relocate as well.
I have a RTT and tend to carry a bit of weight when camping/off roading. Also haul the dirtbike and gear other times.
Any thoughts or first hand experience would be helpful. Thanks

Also....All Pro has 20% off leaf packs til the end of today so that kinda helps too.

 

I have Allpro expo leaf packs. Love them. Handles the extra weight perfect. (350# rear bumper). Sits with a slight rake. Don't know about the shackle flip kit. I do have the unbolt flip and timbren buhmps tho.

 

Thanks. Im leaning toward the expos after checking out a lot of other builds.

 

Go with the expos. The only time i really loved them was when i had a good amount of weight on them, as said above, 350# or more. Just make sure your shocks are valved right for them, or have those compression adjusters like i did. Once you get the proper weight on the expos, they ride beautifully.

 

Hi Jeff....

 

Can't speak for the expos, but I've got the dakars and I love em. You've seen how much shit I have over my rear axle, and my truck sits level. I've had em on about 40k miles too. I purchased the overload leaf but have yet to install it. I don't need it for day to day use, but when I get fully loaded up u could use a little more lift.

No squeaks, no problems. Bought mine from wheelers. I'm sure either brand is a pretty safe bet.

 

Thanks y'all. Ended up getting the expos. Thinking it'll be a good combo with everything else. Should ride real nice when the high clearance bumper goes on in a couple months hopefully. The 20% off was helpful but that shipping.....damn!

 

Last I looked at the allpro leaf packs they were $499, now there $549,,,, hmmm

 

I just ordered them today. Originally $499. But with 20% off closer to $400

 

Did you have to buy bushings?

 

Nope. They come with all bushings needed.

 

Did you get the Ubolt flip kit and timbrens?

 

Ive already got a relentless fab u-bolt flip kit and wheelers super bumps

 

Nice!

 

Whats up Doug! How's things?

 

If you need any help installing, let me know! Those Expo's are heavy as F*** and suck trying to do yourself! Feel free to hit me up and we can install them at my place! Are you getting any extended travel rear shocks for them? OEM length shocks will be to short and will be limiting your leaf travel

 

Good choice on all of it

 

Doing a suspension makeover. Have most parts just waiting on a few things
Gonna be doing:
Expos, shackle flip kit, xj shackles, BAMF shock relocate and 12" Kings
And front Kings to go with it


Hopefully with the welding/fab help from @Bentrodder

 

Well, Let me know if you need help then @Bentrodder I can be doing suspension while you are cutting and welding. I work for small amounts of beer and water AKA Bud Light and usually lunch from the local fast food joint lol

 

Definitely would appreciate any help! I believe @DCSBFTMFW will be there to hand out beers and cheerleading while the work gets done
