More mods to come, thinking a 6 inch lift and arb bumper etc etc.

    If i had more money than brains i would simply just order shit and try bolting it on. i think it proves that comming here and asking advice about it is far better than that. but yes i do have deep pockets. so what. dont have to be an ass about it now do you?

    Sorry that i asked seriously.

    AP standards have a total travel of ~12" and you can carry a load in the bed right? LT have a total travel of ~18" and any significant weight in the bed makes the rear end sit pretty low. I dont think anyone knows the spring rates of either set but that would tell me that LT leafs are much softer rate.

    What about the 50t pack? It's designed for LT but can handle weight... IIRC.

    True but your still blowing through 8-10" of travel on a 50t pack just to get to ride height. The SOA packs only have 10-12" total. Exact spring rates on a leaf spring are too complicated for me, Im just saying in general that would mean an SUA pack is "softer" than an SOA pack

    It's not that it's designed for more weight, it's designed for more lift. 50T pack is designed for 4-5" of lift (more on par with the Deaver f70), compared to the f67s which is designed for 2-3" of lift.

    Can't speak to the SOA packs, but the SUA packs are progressive spring rate.
    Lots of thinner leaves means lots of flex and movement. Less but thicker leafs means less travel, but generally stiffer.

    Thanks guys. So not that it matters to me anymore since I already have the standards, but for going somewhat fast the standard leafs are better than the expos.

    depends on valving of the shocks you run with the leaf pack. Zero Presence has All Pro Expos and apparently he's super fast.
