Colorado B.S. Thread

Yeah, I traded mine out in July for the all pro expedition ones, it gave me 4 inch lift in the back. Made me find out the so called 3 inch lift I had all around wasn't 3 inches after all. So till I get some money to fix the lvl issue in the front I have the east coast lean going on.

 

I think they are OME. I bought the truck lifted already. Only had it two months. Need coilovers and leafs before summer gets here. I had Deaver 8 pack on my old 2003 DC Taco and liked them alot with longer shackles.

 

My EXPOS are nearly level with the weight I have in back(about 350lbs of extra weight everyday). Most of their lift simply comes from the 11 leaves in the pack. I am at 4"s of lift in the rear with the EXPOS and a shackle flip with an extended length shackle. with factory bumps on and longer Blistein Shocks I see some N A.



But I do like the droop:



Unfortunately with the front end configuration you will never achieve level front to back (assuming you are trying to get 4"s of lift). Most front lift's max out at 3.5's due to geometry. If you go long travel in the front then I believe you can get close to 4's up front.

Of course you can go with a DB lift for 6"s but that is up to you.

 

Drop bracket.....For the LOSS! lol

 

OME's should be from Dakar. A lot of guys on here run the Dakar's. They are a good spring with lots of flex. Their weight capacity is less then the EXPO but you can't beat their flex.

Bob correct me if I am wrong but if his Dakar's are running flat they are pretty much done right?

 

So jelly. Thinking about trying to build one of those up

 

The front shocks, coil spring, and rear shocks are OME. So the leafs are more then likely Dakars like you say. I THINK I remember seeing some type of aftermarket sticker on top of the leaf pack, but it was kinda wore off and dirty. I will look when I get home. They ride ok and flex good. But are def sagging.

 

Meh. It just depends on how you plan to run your truck. DB's are good for light wheeling and some off road adventuring but they do have more parts hanging low to get caught up on. It's a lot easier to fix 35's tires on a DB through and from what I have seen so far the extra ground clearance on a DB lift with 35's seems to rule in mud.

 

dakar is the leaf pack that comes with most OME lifts

flat at ride height? mine is arched a bit still but definitely not a large arch...

you can kind of see the "arch" here,


after the shackle flip

 

Yeah the Shackle flip definitely "pushes" on the arch some. So if Redline is flat at ride height and no flip I would say they are worn. Unless you are leaving like 500lbs. in the bed all the time.

 

somebody buy this!!!

^^ Damn he still hasn't sold it?

 

Mine look real close to your first pic. I dont have the shackle flip. Would that lift the rear any? I dont ever put anything over 400lbs in the bed.

 

I put a 600lb gun safe in the bed of my truck at cabelas and drove to Colorado Springs. No sag at all when it was put in, no change in height. I thought it was going to but nothing. It did ride a little springy over the bumps while in there though, it was nice.

 

looks like i need expos. will have to deal with the front being lower.

 

I looked at them online and the website said I think 500 to 600 lbs before it sags so you can load up your bed and go camping.

 

It's $100 for shipping.

 

i can see it being good in mud and for 35's. Just not my style. I have seen a few guys wheel them but most of them I have seen personally were mall crawlers.

 

Would be nice to have that ability and piece of mind. I really want another snowmobile which would be around 500 with all the gear that goes with it. Not sure if putting a mountain sled with a 155 track would work with my DCSB.

What site?

 

The al pro main website is where I found them, then looked around to see if I could get them cheaper.
