    Hi Guys,

    We have Almond/Walnut farmers who are customers of our family business. They like to use 4x4 Regular Cab Tacomas to pull orchard sprayers. Yes, ~6,000 lb. is a decent amount of weight + chemical. Here's a picture of what a typical setup looks like.

    My questions: The customer has a 2006 4x4 Regular Cab Tacoma with stock suspension. He wants us to install a pair of All-Pro Expedition HD Leaf Springs on his tacoma to help it handle the weight of the orchard sprayer better.

    1. Can we install the Expo spring packs, and keep his factory stock rear shocks? If not, what would be a good combination rear shock to pair with the Expos?

    2. What other items other than the spring pack will we need to purchase to complete the job?

    Thanks guys!

    Hi! To complete the rear suspension on the vehicle mentioned it would be easiest to purchase our expedition rear suspension kit. This would include the springs, bushings, u-bolt flip kit, and rear brake lines. The stock shocks will not work unfortunately so what we recommend is our FOX 2.0 smooth body shocks, they work flawlessly with the springs and provide a smoother ride with the added weight. Give us a call and i can fill you in on all the details. thanks
