    SOLD the Tacoma. Landcruiser life now.
    Thanks for the feedback everyone. Now I'm still torn between the Allpro Standard and Expo. I figured I have about 300 in my bed at all times MAX. Thats the camper shell, gas, tools, etc. The math actually comes out to about 280. Thats without the roof rack I plan on adding soon. But that won't be much. Still torn... Maybe I'll ask Allpro and get their feedback. I wonder if their springs are designed around the access cab or the double cab (which is what I have) with it's extra rear weight. God forbid the rear end of these trucks be easy.

    You like my Dakars over speed bumps better. :jellydance:
    The weight of a shell makes them ride smoother.

    Had to bump this b/c I've been contemplating the same thing between the AP expos and dakars..So I'm going to have TC spindles in the front which is 3.5" of lift and the Dakars with aal is 3"+ 5/8" from what I've read, which will be pretty level..the expos are just 3" in the rear right? So b/c I'm running spindles would it look better with the dakars and aal?? I appreciate the help guys.

    Expos from real world measurements tend to be 1" taller than the dakars

    In the real world Dakar will give you more than 3". Check the real world measurements @ http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/suspension/173193-2nd-gen-ome-dakar-hub-fender-measurements.html
    I got only 3" because I have a shell on and some stuff in the back. And when I add my 190lbs (by standing on it) to the rear bumper it will drop 1/2".

    Ok so I checked out tht thread and it had all of the real world measurements, and it seems as if both the dakars and expos will give you over 3" without an aal?

    With the TC spindles up front which are 3.5" I really just wanted the rear to match as close as possible..so which would you guys choose in my case?? I know their both great leaf packs I just want it to be as close to 3.5" as possible to match the front.

    Flexs well, would only recommend Expos if you have a lot of weight in the bed min 300lb. I notice axel wrap now, but I expected that. Install was easy. Mounting a 2.5 x 10'' King Racing smooth bodies with custom mounts was not. I'll have pictures tomorrow, been busy.
