    Could also look into Deaver. They make some great leaf packs and even custom ones if I'm not mistaken

    What about the allpro expos. I remember reading on here that they provide 4 inches of lift without a load and they can carry 500 lbs consistantly. A lot of members have ran these with the maxtrac up front.

    I'm not a big fan of all Pro leaf springs, but yes, expos should be able to handle heavier loads.

    S.O.S bolt-on sliders, XB Morimoto fogs, bumper mounted 20" led bar, amber leds in grille("raptor" style) and Relentless fab hi-lift mount. Plastidip?
    Center hub to fender measurements are
    Front 27.5 inches
    Driver side rear 22.5 inches
    Passenger rear 24.5 inches

    Pretty big difference between driver and passenger side. Also looks like the dealership that did the install left the preload on the icon coilovers. Anyone close to orlando have a spanner wrench? Lol

    I wish I would have went with dakars instead of all pro. I thought all pro made decent leafs until now :annoyed:

    I have expos and the ride is pretty good, but the load capacity seems to be off. I have had as little as 200lbs in the bed and it sits only about an inch above the bumps. I got about 3.25" of lift after they settled. Again, pretty good ride quality, but I don't think that the load capacity is what is stated.

    Even if you went with Dakars you would still need a 2 inch block to level it. The Dakars gave me a full 3" on my a/c and I am a 3/4" lower in the back than the front. Even if you put the aal in the Dakars you would still be low in the rear

    What's up everyone? So this is my first post and just wanted to show off my set up. I finished installing it today...4" maxtrac spindle lift on the front with 2" blocks on back and Fox shocks. I'll be upgrade the front to coilovers set at 0 soon. Pictures don't do justice for this lift...I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

    What’s going on guys.

    Had a question, anyone in this thread put this lift on a 3rd gen? Maxtrac website shows it’ll fit, just wanna see it before making a decision on what lift I should do in April.

    Pic of stock truck for attention. Lol 999E75DE-993B-4BD2-8C5F-12AEE75D9955.jpg

    Would you recommend to go with shocks & springs or coil overs also? Or would the stock set up Work? Found a kit that comes with fox coil overs front & fox shocks for the rear

    If money is tight & you want to do it in stages you can go with your stock set up for now no problem. I chose to do Bilstein 5100's & OME 885's with my Maxtracs cause I wanted more than 4". All depends on what you want.

    Yea budgeting everything. Lol i was thinking upgrading suspension just helped out with wearing out the stock. But that’s good to know I can run stock for a bit. Want to run 33 skinnies or 35s on the stock wheels also

    I'm not too familiar with 3rd gen tire fitment but 33/285's aren't a problem on a 2nd gen with just Maxtracs.
    35's you need at least 6" on a 2nd gen if you don't want to cut a bunch of stuff like fenders, pinch welds & cab mounts. Even with 6" you may still need to do the cab mounts.

    I'm at 7" up front so I did All Pro expo leaf springs that gave me 4" & 2" blocks.
