    I am in definite need of rear leafs. I just want your guy's options on the strongest rear leafs. I can't make a decision on which brand. I want 2.5" lifted ones btw. So do you recommend a certain brand, something that wont go negative anytime soon and can take some abuse?

    Thanks :)

    Icon ext. travel 2.5RR in front, Icon ext. travel 2.0RR in rear, BuiltRight uniball UCAs, Wheelers Superbumps, Goodridge steel braided brake lines, BruteForce front plate bumper w/ Warn M9000+synth line, American Auto Horns ACDF, Pelfrey Bussman mount+Sandman bussman fuse block (soon), 255/75R16s on painted stockers...because I'm not paying $800 to rock rash new wheels you scrubs. Shok Industries 2/0 big 4 upgrade and sound deadener.
    I went with the OME dakar leaf packs and they put me up 2.5" exactly if I recall. I think All Pro makes a 3" pack but it's supposed to be a little softer than the dakars. Alcan will make a custom set for you if you give them a call and explain what kind of driving you do/what you want to do with the truck.

    Just saw you're a 1st gen, not too sure on that then except for Alcan.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    the manufacturer will depend on what you want the leafs for. if you want flex and dont care about load capacity, go AP...if you want the same load capacity, go alcan/dakar

    I want flex as well as being able to hold upwards of maybe 300 pounds. I want strong ones that will hold a heavy weight just in case i need to haul something really heavy.
