    Get expos. I have standards with a high top camper and a bed play form and I'm looking at getting a shackle lift for the rear. The standards aren't really made for weight.

    This doesn't have anything to do with the All Pro springs. But how's the truck gonna ride with digressive valving in the front (Icon) & progressive valving in the back (King)

    What is the stock height to the rear fender I never measured before I installed the standards. Wondering how much lift they are currently giving.

    I have standards and they are way too stiff. I don't carry any load. They are something like 40-60% stiffer than stock. I would say they would probably be ideal for 200-300 lbs regular load. Anything higher and I think you're looking at the expo.

    To be honest I would bring into question the quality control exercised by all pro. I've ordered a lot of their products and I haven't exactly been thrilled with what I've received. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to pull a fast one and just sent me the expos.

    Maybe, my standards are soft. With 200-300 pounds my truck is sitting 2-3 inches lower in the rear.

    "too stiff" and "too soft" are subjective opinions. As some have said, the standards were "too stiff" with no load, and others think the standards are too soft, and WANT the expos with no load. But I would bet that the "too soft" crowd on the standards either didn't let them break in, or the prefer a Boaty McBoatface type ride for their trucks.

    Basically, it's a crap shoot.

    With a rack, RTT, and tools, etc, that is exactly what the expos were designed for, so those *should* be what you need. Keep in mind that ALL of our trucks are completely different, as are our tastes for ride quality based on how and where we drive. You could always get the standards, then an add-a-leaf if they are too soft, or go to Alcan or Deaver or somewhere and have them build a custom set of leafs that fit exactly what you need (or at least what you tell them you need, lol).

    The standards aren't made to accept an AAL. You have to cut the brackets and install new clamps.

    That has more to do with your shocks than the springs. The springs really just deal with the weight. The shocks are what control how they move. As long as your springs can handle the weight, you should be fine.

    That said, anything that is top heavy (RTT's) won't handle as well since you're more prone to rolling over, so don't expect trophy truck speeds here... :)

    Unfortunately they're out of stock on the expo's. I was wanting to order some as well while they were on sale. Maybe a PM to @allpro can work me in on a rain check? lol
