    Anyone running an All-Pro Expedition leaf pack on a 2nd Gen DCLB? Looking to upgrade my suspension and will be putting weight in the back but want to stay about 2-2.5 inches in the front. Looking for feedback on All-Pro vs. Deaver vs Dakar for the rear end. Looks like there is some deals going on this weekend. Thanks in advance.

    I have the All-Pro Expo leaf pack but I am a short bed. The ride is great, I want to shock relocate to really be able to flex. I had my large cooler and roughly 5 gallons of water in the bed at the time of the photo fuel cans were empty.

    I took a look at your truck and that is about what I want to do. I'll be putting a hard cap on it eventually so I want to be able to maintain a little rake and about 2.5-3" with it loaded down.

    Did you pull the trigger on the AP leaf packs? Looking to do the same and wondering how much of a difference between the Deavers and AP expos. Still shock shopping for the correct length too.

    I didn’t pull the trigger on AP. I purchased the Icon RXT. It’s rad because you have options for 3 different ride heights and stiffness. I have mine on option 2. It rides great! They’ve settled nicely and probably about 2 inches of lift from stock. If you need to add more height or stiffness you can add the add-a-leaf

    I did the entire install myself. It was easy. Just took my time. I can’t speak to deavers or AP never had them.

    Hope that helps.

    What shocks did you end up with? Extend brake lines or diff. shims/drop? Was looking at the Icon's as well.

    I put Bilstein 5100 with Ome 885 coils up front from Headstrong. No extended brake lines of shims. I probably should put shims on the diff. I have a very slight shudder on take off but it’s not bad. I’m sure a small shim would fix it.

    Overall I’m very happy with the setup. I have a very slight rake to the look of the truck, which I like. On/Offroad performance and feel are night and day better than stock. I’d probably add UCA’s if I did it all over again and I probably will add them in the future. But for now it all drives great.

    Ok, more questions... Which rear 5100's did you go with? The standard (lifted) height, 24-18672, or the extended height, F4-BE5-B110-T5? Just trying to find a good match for leaf packs and shocks. Seems I'm getting different answers depending on who you ask (from the vendors that is...). Hope you don't mind the third degree...
