    Donahoe CO's, Deaver leaf paks, Lockright Locker, All Pro body armor ( sliders, front and rear bumpers ), All Pro under belly skids, Warn M8K w/Masterpull synthetic line, Dual Optima battery system, 4 ea LightForce Striker 170 offroad lights, 8 ea wired rock lights, and plenty more I'm sure
    I originally purchased Deaver 8 leaf production leaf springs...
    They are progressive leaf pak.
    And flexibility is their primary purpose.

    My 8 lf production pak(s) went soft
    after several years of hard trail use.

    So... took them back to Deaver...
    and had them altered to a 9lf pak.
    With some custom altercations to reduce axle wrap.

    As long as I own them
    Deaver will re-build or alter mine
    for $ 200.
    Lucky for me... Deaver is somewhat local.

    Now if carrying weight is more critical then flex...
    the All-Pro expo lf springs may be better.
    But I don't know... because I don't have them.

    Sadly... All-Pro is less supportive
    when it comes time for rebuilding.

    Yep... leaf springs are not built to last forever
    and their consumable life depends on much they're abused.
    Tho' weight/gravity will eventually wear them out anyways.

    I personally would purchase leaf springs
    that can be rebuilt or altered local to you.
