    The leaf pack will have 1-2 too many leafs for the taco. You usually only run 3-4 leafs from the 63 pack.

    Install it all and if you don't like it, pull a leaf or two till it sits low. That's what I did.

    If you wanna pull a trailer, take a overload leaf from a 63 pack or just put a coupe more leafs in.


    I got a leaf pack from a 2500 so I had way too many leafs but it made it super easy to pick and choose how many I wanted to run.

    The pic quality wasn't great and yes it's a flatbed but you can tell by the angle of the cab the rear sits lower than the front
    I also only have about 2.5" lift in the front. So yes, you can sit low with 63s.

    Cool cool. So a leaf pack from any Chevy, pretty much.

    Not any chevy lol. Certain years. Google will help with that. But most 1500-2500s, yes

    If you're worried about weight too... dont forget they the leafs are from trucks that can pull more than ours. So that answers your worries pretty simply

    That's the great thing about these trucks, there's soo many things you can do to them. The bad thing, there's soo many things you can do to them! $$$

    Welcome! Always cool to see more people in the area on here. Next time we have a mod day or grab some food we’ll post up on here if you’d like to join. Ask any questions you’d like, we’re all here to help you spend your money.

    That’s close to mine, have about 5” of up travel but it maxes my shocks on down travel right now. Need another 2-3” more.

    It’s pretty well adjustable, I think my leaves came out of a 99 1500 and @TACORIDER got his from a 96? Had 4 leafs in the pack. You could probably get away with three since you don’t have a swing out in the rear. It really comes down to setting a good shackle angle for the weight of your truck.

    Bruh....you're locked too. I think Jake and I are the only open diffs.

    He's probably locked too, for all I know.
