    As the title says. Trying to decide between these two leaf packs. Any personal knowledge/experience on either would be appreciated. I'm running about 600 pounds with my canopy/spare/rear bumper/roof top tent. I'll be adding a read drawer system with some gear so I'll probably be pushing 800 constant

    With that much weight I'd look into the U402 Stage 3 Deavers. I have the All-Pro Expos on my truck and I wish I went with the Deavers. I have over a 1" difference in height on the rear of my truck. Driver side sits over 1" lower than the passenger side. Spend the extra money and get the Deavers

    I have the All-Pro Expo HDs. The Deaver stage 3s are rated for 700-1000 lbs and are also side specific. Buy once cry once man (for me it'll be buy three times, cry three times). A bunch of people order custom leafs from Alcan if you want to look into that as well, don't what they would cost. If you go with Deavers order through Headstrong Offroad because free shipping

    Ironman constants, the heavy ones are very underrated. Some real world examples have them running at over 1,000 lbs with all leafs. I am running 600 lbs to the back, and I had to pull the 3rd leaf out from them. I researched the crap out of deavers 2,3 as well as other packs. These are the best bang for your buck, esp with 25% off sales and bundles.

    I'll be pushing around your weight as well and will keep the 3rd leaf off until I find a need. First pic is with 600lbs, second pic is with 300lbs.

    Edit, front suspension is set at 3", so 600lbs is pretty leveled (prob 3.2") so it looks like 600-800lbs at around 3", meaning with the 3rd leaf.....yeah.

    I ended up going with these because of how cheap I got them. If they end up not working out oh well. Thanks for the photos

    Question - I just picked up the Ironman Heavy ones and probably only running up to 400-500lbs and not even all the time. I’m thinking I might take out that 3rd leaf before I even install them, would it be the 3rd leaf from the top?

    These hd from Ironman is no joke. I might need to take off the 3rd leaf as well. Looking for some input from ppl who’s running his setup. I have a few questions. I’m on 5160 is that shock able to handle these leaf? And I have about 500lb (rsi camper and empty decked system). Didn’t budge at all. Going to add a rtt and rear bumper which will make it about 700lb constant weight and see what happens. I also loaded my boat (4500lb) on a trailer and it dropped like 3/4 only. These hd are underrated!

    Hey I'm shopping around and looking at these and more or less have the same setup as you. How have these aged/settled? I also looked at deavers but couldn't justify the price point for a set of leafs. Are you running the foam cell heavy shocks as well? Have they maintained the 3in of lift?
