    I'm looking to upgrade my leaf springs from the All Pro Standards. Mostly because I'm carrying more weight that I thought I would be (500ish lbs.) I still want to get a progressive leaf pack I really like how the AP leafs ride. So I was thinking the All pro Expedition pack. Any experience with that pack? Are there other progressive leaf pack you would recommend? I was also looking at Deaver's but Idk that I can justify the extra cost.

    The All Pro Standard Springs tend to sag with any weight in the back. I think its because they are a progressive spring. So the individual leaves are thin compared to stock.

    Really happy with my Deaver expedition stage 2s. They’d match your load and ride nice. Price is a bit steep, but it’s an important part of the truck. Alcans seem to also have good reviews. Get what you pay for.

    I had my 8 month old Dakars replaced after they started sagging. Other than a few camping trips, my bed is generally empty so they were not abused. I've seen a few other posts on TW saying similar.

    Only ever heard good stuff about the Deavers.

    edit: replaced the Dakars with Icon RXT level 2, no problems since.
