    I went from blocks, to OME heavy leafs, then got a set of Deavers 3” with supposedly 200lb extra capacity.

    I have a bed rack, high clearance rear swing out with spare, and I’m ordering my Tepui Ruggedized Autana RTT tonight.

    I have King 12” rear shocks and allpro flip kit with timbren bumps. IF or more likely when I put the tent on and it starts to sag, what leafs should I look into? I guess I can look into Deaver is they have leafs I can add maybe.
    But idk how stout the All pro Expos are or if there’s another big player on the block now. I was hoping to be done wit suspension, but it’s a Tacoma lol, it’s never over lol

    I wouldnt touch all pro leafs with a 10ft pole.... they have had horrible quality as of late, and there is a reason why they are no longer a vendor here on TW.

    Welp, alright then. What are some other options? I know people go with the 67 springs but that’s for long travel, idk if they are meant for constant weight

    That’s what I had before these Deavers. The Deavers have more leafs and haven’t sagged much at all with the weight of the bed rack and rear bumper swingout monster lol
    The HD Dakar’s wore pretty quick and started sagging

    No, never heard of it.
    I’m just thinking worst case right now. As my truck sits now it still doesn’t seem like a full 3” lift. I think I need to adjust my fronts some and if I put the tent on the rear and it starts to sag it’s going to drive me nuts

    No idea when shit went downhill... but i know many have had their all pro packs going completely flat, to the point of any lift being simply from the extra thickness of the pack itself

    I’ve ran them on bigger trucks. But since I have longer rear shocks and brake lines I’d like to stay away from them to not limit my travel

    I’m not sure, I bought my OME and Dakar’s like 5 years ago. Swapped them for these Deavers last year

    I'm picking up a pair of these and some 5100s this afternoon from some guy on CL. Hopefully, Ill have them installed in the next couple of weeks. They are replacing my oem ones that were part of the recall a few years back.
