    I'm looking at getting the All Pro rear 3" suspension kit with fox adj-res shocks, and had a couple concerns. I have a tiregate and full size spare so how much is it going to bring the rear end down. I am also planning on putting a tool box along with a second battery and OBA. I have heard this kit doesnt like weight, so would the planned set up cause too much sagging?

    i've got the 3" w/ WE non-resi, a tool box filled (including a hi lift), and a 33" spare underneath, but never measured to see the droopage. they definately do not like too much weight though.

    Well I am eventually getting their LT kit so I dont want too stiff of a spring. That doesnt look too bad in the first pic Hodge. Does in the 2nd though. I dont think that I will have a whole lot of weight back there.

    You could get OME Dakar leafs instead. If your weight will be in the forward portion it might not pose as much of a droop, like the pics with weight on the tongue as well.

    What valving specs does AP use on their Fox rears?

    Well I have a tire gate and full size so it will be pretty much in the front and rear. I would go OME but when I got LT I am gonna have to get the AP rear anyways so I might as well just do it now.

    Why do you have to get AP rear leafs if your going LT? OME offers a load leaf for their "Dakar" leafs so thats a nice option if you got weight. I don't prefer one company to the other. When I end up getting a leaf pack, as opposed to my Deaver AAL I will probably get the 3" AP leafs and u-bolt flip. I have my load leaf removed and AAL, when I had a 350lb bike in the back I had a little sag, but not squat going on...over time that would be a different case.

    Good point too...At that point you can adjust the hanger location and length of the shackle and get the desired height you need if .5" isn't enough.

    Ya, that is always an option. I guess I am not too worried, just kinda had the thought pop into my head. By the way, I meant to ask you, did you get both sides rhino line'd or just the front? If just the front, what did you due to the back?

    I guess I dont HAVE to go with the AP rear, I was under the impression it is the best set up like this to go with the AP LT. I know it wont keep up with the front but it is the best out there, from what I have read, I could be wrong. Thanks for the info.

    I know, I was thinking about that too. I hate options. Another option just for now is also just getting an AAL and some OME's out back to hold me over, plus save some cash in the short term, but would be spending more in the long term.

    Hmmm, decisions decisions. I will probably go with the AP because it is what I have been planning on. What rear shocks are you running JD?

    More ground clearance. They are also what my timbrens are bolted onto. The plate on top has two pre drilled holes.

    Really? Did you buy them expecting to have them or did you know they didn't?

    I figured it was ground clearance. I didnt know if there was any other perks to it.
