Allpro expo leafs ride quality w/ out weight?

When i get back for my next.deployment i'm gonna be.getting a new leaf pack. Really considering Allpro expos because eventually ill be getting an rtt. My concern is the.ride quality.without weight on the truck. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Sent frum mobul fone soe don't freek out about my speling and grahmar. ​

 

well, ive had them about three weeks now, and lets just say extremely stiff. i heard somewhere that its a good idea to keep about 300 lbs extra on them, which was my plan with a proposed shell and rack, BUT funds dont yet allow for that so ill have to put up with it in the meantime.

 

How does it.compare to a aal ? Cause the rear.is.pretty stiff with my current.setup. What would the next softer leaf.be? Dakar? Ap standard duty?

honestly couldnt tell you, my previous was stock, and they were shot, bottomed out on the lightest of bumps.

 

I've been riding around for 6months now on them will no weight (just haven't got abedrack etc etc yet) and the ride isn't bad at all

 

I've had my Allpro expos on for almost a month now, and without the extra weight is fine. If im going 80mph down a shitty freeway or road, my truck does not jump all over the place(some people said this would happen). Id rather have them on then the stock leafs. When I have about 400lbs of firewood,icechests,people, and camping gear, the truck rides like a caddy.

 

I agree with 300lbs+ the ride is really nice this is how I sit with a shell , rack and 150lbs of stuff in the shell

 

I like the ride of my truck with them

 

Can we get some guys with the standard set in here? Looks like I'm getting a new truck this week and will be getting an all new suspension as well. Right now I have dakars, but I was thinking the standard all pros might be better for offroad, and non loaded street driving.

 

yeah like he said , I'm getting ready 2 install mine next weekend . Do I need to extend my brake lines as well???

 

What kind of shocks r u guys running with ap expos?

I'm running the Walker Evan's that AP sells, wanting to switch up to new ones soon tho!

I would, its not that hard to do. Plus steel braided lines are always better to have than rubber ones.

Downsouth Motorsports set me up with some 2.0 Fox Rear resi's.

 

the 5100's from down south have been on sale recently.

 

What do you all with expos think about the idea of taking a leaf out to soften the ride up and lower it a bit for guys that don't have 500lbs always in the bed?

 

I don't know of anyone who has taken out any leafs from the Expos.

Freeze did take a standard pack & added a Marlin AAL HD spring in place in one of the other leafs, It's been holding up for him (Don't know all the details, but i'm sure he'd help you out)

 

OR, you buy the regular all pros, and not the expos.

 

Well I will have a steel bumper and a tool box, so that's not quite 500lbs but from what I've read, enough to make the standard leafs sag a bit. When I wheel I carry a big cooler and extra box with recovery gear.

 

Dakars or Expos for you
