    About a month and a half ago I've installed my lift on my 2016 Tacoma. 2.5 King shocks w/adjusters and allpro standard leaf packs.

    IMG_0130_4d3a83456e84239e7a053efc70f82bd03c391c2a.jpg

    I know the springs are supposed settle a bit. During the month and a half I've only packed less than 200lbs of gear in the bed once, other than that the bed has been completely empty. No aftermarket bumper, Bed racks, sliders nor do I tow.

    Measurements on driver 23" and passenger 23 1/4 from center of axle to bottom of fender.
    Talked to Tracy and Jon @ allpro and they have a truck with an identical setup and measurements. Waiting for them to send me the photos they have.

    My question is are the leaf packs supposed be arched like the pictures show below? I've installed everything correctly and was just curious if anyone else's leafs looked like mines. Was told it's because of the reversed shackle that the leafs do that.

    How do you like the ride of the allpro springs? I'm about to pull the trigger on the expo pack. I have Dakar but I'm sagging pretty bad and have about 1in between the bumps

    Working on it.
    OP ask question about leaf spring 8 out of the 12 responses are "sick wheels bro!"

    I have nothing to add in reference to the original question asked either, just an observation.


    And yes, your wheels are quite sick, bro.:fistbump:

    Yeah I'd go with the expos. I was actully thinking I should go with 63" Chevy spring swap. I don't wanna spend another $600+ On spring again if I can't get these warrantied.
