    Ride is great. They have a lot more droop than the stock leaf pack and handle a load better. It's worth noting that I have a shell and about 100lbs of stuff in the bed...the unloaded ride may be different.

    Should be under $1k but PM Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road (I bought a lot of other stuff at the same time).

    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    +1 for the all-pro. Not to mention, you dont get the squeaking from other packs like the dakars.

    Thank you :thumbsup:


    @Jeffrow20111
    Here's some reading on the j66 pack
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/avoid-deavers-j66.331776/
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/deaver-j66-vs-allpro-standard.224210/
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/deaver-j66-1-5-inch-leaf-springs-bilstien-5100.399758/

    Looks like most say they're too soft, but it's all opinion based. If you don't haul anything they'd probably be a good choice.
    My vote still goes to AP standards.

    I really liked the deavers. I ran them with icons, 2.5 ext travel remote resi, front and rear. They flexed great. I have sliders, full 3/16" skids, plate bumpers frnt and rear, and a winch. They workes great for me. Had them on for 14k miles, but started my build in a little different direction, more overland style, bedrack, toolbox, rtt (coming soon), so thats why im selling. I paid about $620, looking for $400 or best offer.

    They aren't good for towing or hauling heavy loads or for people with heavy bumpers, campers etc. They work great if you have no added weight. Not everybody has the need to carry 2k lbs of shit in their bed at all times.

    all pro flip kit, timbren bumps, all pro expo with fox 2.5 DSC with remote reservoirs. the springs still move well for the increased capacity. they regularly hit the bum stops in the desert which is why i also recommend getting the icon 2.0 bum kit for 650 and you will have a real nice rear end...
    in the front i have maxtrac and 6112's

    Dakars with 3rd leaf pulled here. Icon non resi shocks. Shorted myself on the shocks should have gotten longer ones. Little rough on the road. But loaded they are smooth as butter. On the trails (east coast mountain trails) damn near perfect. Perfect for what I personally needed. Little bit of rake but aggressive for sure. I do have the Dakar squeak but I deal with it. I also run a toytec flip kit with Wheelers Superbumps :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
