    All Pro was a better quality fit. nowadays they are not multiple piece bumpers so even stronger than the one I had.

    Trail gear has the stinger I can't imagine driving without now. But it hangs low vs AP. Hardly noticeable since I have 6" lift.

    My truck is on the left. The bumper I'm thinking about making is on the right... but then I saw your trail gear bumper....
    and then I saw a trail gear bumper with a hitch that I could mount a winch to... that would be removable...

    I gotta be honest the trail gear bumper is a "meh" on the fit.
    If you have the funds the custom bumper would probably fit better and might a possibility of adding a hitch.

    Trail gear has the low cost going for it.

    I just purchased some 5125's w/ 12" travel and most likely will go with the custom made Alcans... Did the All Pro leaf pack give you a level lift right out of the box? Also, how do they ride? Your input is very much appreciated as I'm itching to get rid of the 2.5" blocks!

    Oh man if you can do Alcans do it!!


    I bought these springs back when they were only like $385. They are stiff unloaded and I liked them because they gave me the bro lean + option to carry weight

    What exactly did you order from the Alcan sight and how do you order? Does it give you bro lean or does it sit level lol? I would like to get rid of my blocks and I get sick of it how I put a case of Pepsi in the bed and it sags.

    Ohh I ordered off the shelf All Pro Expo springs b/c I couldn't go with custom Alcan springs even tho they are in Colorado.

    AP leafs I have give 4" lift unloaded
    That's where the lean comes from



    Going the Alcan route is a far better choice if you can swing it. You just need the eye to eye measurement of your taco springs.(maybe Alcan has this # saved) but you can pick your lift height and how much weight the springs can handle.

    Yes, I spoke with Bill and from other TW builds I have referenced on here, looks like one of the best ways to go to get level.
    I appreciate your input OP! I called All Pro today and they suggested getting the 4" expo pack. It looks good with the "bro lean" in my opinion, however I am going for the leveled out look.
    Bill quoted me $730 for the pair... Just gotta swing the shipping to Cali..

    Heard positve things about them.
