    Plenty mods on many vehicles since 1982. Current: 15 Tacoma 4X4 V6 TRD OR Access Cab Pyrite Mica- Icon full stage 7, All-Pro APEX sliders & rear Expedition Springs + custom Tampa Springs leaf spring upgrades, Timbren bump stops, u-bolt flip, Road Armor front stealth winch bumper & rear steel, Warn Vr 8000, Nitto Terra Grappler 285/75/r16, Off Grid Engineering Dual Battery system, SPod 6 switch, 2 pairs Rigid D2 spot & flood in bumper, ARE Expedition Cap, bedglide,Tru Cool 45K GVW add on transmission cooler, Re-gear to 4.56, rigid rear bumper floods, scan guage II, rigid ditch lights. full size spare on matching factory wheel, seat mods/insert, CB w/magnet mount.
    I went with the All Pro's but got Expedition springs. 2015 extended cab off road 4x4 v6. Also got the Icon stage 7 full system but without the helper springs. I chose the expedition springs because I regularly haul 300+/- #'s of tools and crap in a cross box and will be installing a rear tire/storage/swing out bumper sometime this year. I also tow a lightweight trailer with about 2000 pounds on it about once a week for two hours. I absolutely love this combination for what I do. I drive fast on rough paved or mostly paved roads with 12"-16" dips, 9" or less deep pot holes regularly, and off road in sand and clay in cut over timber. I've had the springs since late December/early January and my truck drives and rides like a dream. The springs really flex but without compromising ride or ride height or load capacity. My spring packs, expedition series, did not move the axle forward or to the rear. Don't forget to flip the u bolts. Got that kit and timbren bump stops from All pro too. I was stuck waiting FOREVER for the springs but it was well worth it. Could be the adjustability of the rear shocks but the expedition springs are literally perfect it seems, no matter what changes I throw at them with style of driving, weight in different locations in the truck, towing, on or off road. I'm a big fan of the All Pro springs and would recommend them strongly.
