    Agreed, I'm happy with there perfomance though. They reach far and barely move when the bed is loaded.

    I had the All Pro "poo" standards, an I felt they were to stiff even with weight in the bed... I sold them ASAP! Then I made my own custom pack by using "OMD" idea.. Which is getting a pack of leafs from an early 80's Cheve 1/2ton an cutting the leafs outta that pack an adding them to yours while removing your overload spring so you can flex better. I added two leafs at firsts an gained about 3" but that was little higher then I needed so now I'm only running one extra leaf an still have my overload removed. They ride/flex sweet an it's a super cheap mod might wanna try it an save a few dollars for something else

    Ok fellas after thinking about meeting in Patterson at Starbucks, It's a little out of the way for me in Turlock and people in Modesto. There is another Starbucks location in Gustine (right off the 5). This location is better to meet.

    meet at 8am at the Starbucks of Hwy 33 (junction of 33 and 5)? We could meet at 8 and plan on heading out at 8:30am. The crew from the Bay is meeting in San Jose and planning on leaving San Jose at 9 so we would probably get there around the same time. Let me know what you guys think.

    Right on bud! I am thinking of doing this but it sounds like a hell of a lot of hassle. How much do you think it cost you to do this mod?

    No I couldn't use the factory bolt locations like I thought I could so I ended up drilling holes thru my bed and bolted them down. Nfab even hooked it up with all the hardware I needed which was great and I can honestly say im really happy with it:)
