Best leaf spring pack for the money

Looking to get some new leaf springs and shocks for the rear. Whats the best ones for your money? Deavers, all pro std or what? Fox 2.0's?

 

dakars or all pro expos seem to be popular around here . it all depends on what you use your truck for and budget. I went with dakars and fox 2.0 resi for under 1,000. was gonna go with ADS 2.5 resi in the rear but they are $$. look in the suspension forum you will get plenty of reviews on everything you need to know

Dakars and 2.0's sound good to me. Prob gonna go that way. Where did u buy urs from

 

Depends on end use

 

How do you use your truck?

What would you like your leafs springs to be the best at?

 

Icon progressive add a leaf

 

Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road she is the best.

 

Going to the dezert and some trails. I'm stock in the rear right now.

 

Dezert and trails. Want something soft so not bouncing around a lot. Plus I do some highway driving every now and then.

 

look into a deaver leaf pack. I ran those in a baja 1000 one year, and they preformed very well. nice soft ride and floats over chatter like bumps

 

Dakars , not soft

 

Deaver or All Pro Standard.
I run the all pros myself and they're perfect for what you're describing.
The deaver springs give you 1-1.5" of lift, the all pro standards give 3" of lift.

 

replaced the stock leafs with Dakar's and I am happy with them, but other than that I have not tried anything else yet.

 

Not sure if I want 3" of lift in the rear. Thanks for the info thou. Gonna look up some deavers.

 

I run OME Dakars and to minimize lift, removed the third leaf.
Slightly higher than stock, nice spring rate.
Pairs nicely with Bilstein 5100.
Should have been the factory setup.

 

^ also a great option

OP you could even contact companies like Alcan and have leaf springs custom made to your choosing.

 

I'm running Dakars with the 3rd leaf removed and Fox 2.0 rr. I purchased them from @HeadStrong Off-Road...great price and free shipping.

 

How's the ride? Under $1k?

 

How's the ride? On and off road?

 

I've ridden in a couple trucks with dakars as they are, no leafs removed, they're actually not bad. Firmer than stock for sure but not rough. They have two overload leafs to prevent negative arch and better load carry capacity.

As those two above stated, with a leaf removed it would lower the height a bit and yield a softer ride. They'd be a great choice as well.
The leaf springs can be had for ~425 and shocks will vary depending on what you go with. Some Fox 2.0's can be had for 250-400 depending on reservoir or not. Just don't forget to add extended brake lines and u bolts.
