    hey guys,

    So I'm beginning to piece together the set up I want to upgrade my truck to. A lot of it may be over kill for my application, but that's fine by me.

    I've concluded:
    UCA = Total Chaos
    LCA = Total Chaos (over kill but hey, why not)
    Coilovers = King 2.5 extended travel w/res
    Rear shocks = King 2.5 extended travel w/res

    Now what I need help deciding is the leaf pack I want.

    I'm looking for the most comfortable on road ride (90%+ driving on roads, 75%+ at 60-80mph).... Off road less than 10% of the time), but still give me amazing off road performance for trail driving, crawling, and some high speed trails, not usually dunes.

    I also want to clarify that this truck rarely hauls anything, or used to towel anything larger than a thousand pounds. So the "practical" performance of payload and towing is again, not important

    Price isn't an issue, I just want to know the best pack I can get to make my truck feel comfortable as my DD and still perform off road

    How much lift do you want? Different packs give different lift.

    The OME Dakars are popular leaf packs along with the ones listed.

    I have the 1.5inch in the back, and like it. I also think kings only work with 1.5in?

    But you're not raving about them, like they're the best and are super comfortable?

    I have AllPro Expo's (with a flip kit). They are beefy and definitely will give you 3.5+ in the back.
    Full disclosure: my particular pack squeaks like hell (@ 2k after install).

    Okay cool! I've been doing my research and the common thing is: if you have the money, buy the deavers

    Deaver makes AllPro spring packs, I have been told.
    Deaver was cheaper when quoted direct. My intent was to build a truck with entirely AllPro products. That kinda went out the window when I veered and purchased LR uca's to save cabbage.

    Bilstein/Icon 2" suspension lift with wheelers 5 leaf springs, 7-pin relocate through bumper, bfg KO2s, redline hood struts, immryo mirror relocation, stubby antenna, dipped emblem, heated mirrors, Jason trek cap, led fogs, debadged
    You might like the wheelers 8 or 10-leaf packs. They offer a fair amount of lift and a nice progressive ride. You likely won't want anything advertised to "increase load capacity"

    I look at it. And yeah, load capacity means rigidity and resistance
