Alldogs Parabolic Leafsprings

Alldogs came out with some parabolic springs for 2nd and 3rd gen Tacomas. Anyone know the pros/cons of this type of spring?

They normally flex better than a regular leaf spring. It's hard to make a parabolic spring for an upside-down shackle design like the Tacoma has. Dobinsons make them for some Toyota trucks overseas but not the Tacomas.

 

Oh thanks for the help, I am looking to do the BAMF shock relocation too and these springs looked too good to be true. Common sense would say they could flex better but that is wrong. I will likely go with a normal leafpack

 

Oh wait did I read you wrong there? They flex better?

 

Yeah, they normally don't have as many leaves as a regular leaf pack and they flex up and down more easily. They're normally for lighter vehicles though.

 

I watched this video a few days ago - an interview with the guys from Alldogs, and they certainly have conviction. Weight, friction, linear motion.

definitely caught my attention.
