    13' Tacoma DCLB
    35's MTRs, King shocks, all pro rear, pelfreybilt bumper, rigid lights
    2nd gen Tacoma
    3" 35's

    Time to upgrade my rear suspension, I currently have billstein 5100 plus an Aal. Thinking of doing Chevy 63 or just a leaf pack like (all pro/ dakar etc)

    Seems as if everyone that is currently running a leaf pack wants to do the Chevy 63, I wanted to get some insight first on why they like one or the other or some pros and cons. I've done the research on what it takes to do the Chevy swap and it's doable but would like first hand experience on if all that work is worth it or not.

    Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

    I don't have a lot of knowledge on the 63's, but I do have Expos installed, and the ride is definitely rough if you don't have anything in the bed. The advantage to the 63's is a softer ride and obviously the droop that you gain by flipping the shackles. The trade off is the amount of work it involved to install them and relocate the shocks, etc. where the Expos are plug and play. If you need the added flex and are capable, I say go for the 63's, but I have no complaints other than the ride for the expos.

    If you can do the work to put 63's in, I'd say it's better overall.

    nailed it! I love my 63s and well worth it IMO since they can handle heavy loads and have an insane amount of travel

    I have Dakar leafs right now and I'm in the process of cleaning up a pair of 63s and then swapping them out and putting king 2.0 rr with 12" of travel
