AllPro's Extreme Kit

[AkWhtBst]

Just trying to get some input before I drop two grand on this setup. I want to get some opinions from some people running this. Are you happy with the kit as far as quality, durability and the amount of flex. I am looking at getting the kit with the 4inch springs and I have a three inch body lift. Body lift is on to clear the 5m. Could I run the new 38" boggers with this. Thanks for any input

Someone has to have purchased this or seen it in action.

i have been running their springs for a few years now,and have been happey with them.its the 5.5 in.springs,flex is ok and ride is good.i also have the hanger and font shackels too,they work great.i use the all-pro steering too,but did not buy the extreme kit,i got cheaper shocks and mounts.

I also run their 5.5's and a 3"BL and my junk is Way tall! I run 37's and have enough room to run 44's if I wanted to... You should be right as rain with the 4"ers and 38"s. I'm looking at my options to drop 2-3"s somewhere this summer. But I also want to 4 link it... So I haven't put alot of effort into it yet...

They flex good after they're broken in a bit. As far as leafs go, I'd only run theirs or AOR's/alcans for the Millitary wrap factor.

But you will be pretty tall when finished... JMO

mine or the 5.5 springs with the axle moved over 2 in.foward and with 37x12.50 ssr's it still is not enough with out cutting out some of the floorboards to keep from locking.but i have no body lift either...

I personally think the kit has some stuff you don't need. They make good stuff, but I'd just buy the parts you need. Expensive shock mounts and shocks, and $100/pr for shackles are some items that come to mind. New front crossmember? Seems unnecessary. U-bolt flip kits aren't necessary, either, but new u-bolts will be needed. Get a IFS mount kit from Fabricator on this board or from FROR, or build your own.

Hy-steer $459
IFS mount kit $59
Homemade shackles $20
Springs $469
Ford shock mounts $30
Shocks $150
U-bolts $60
Steering stabilizer $50
Brake lines $80


About $400 cheaper than the extreme kit.

a buddy of mine is running the 5.5 inch lift from allpro on a 91 p/u without a BL and clears 38.5 sx's no problem.

Thanks for your input. I think I am gonna go the cheaper route on my lift. I am gonna go links one day anyhow. Would rather not spend 2k on a lift. Going to go rears up front and chevys since I already have all of that. Thanks again.

Pirate (I know, sorry everyone) has a wealth of info on this swap. The guys over there can be SOBs, but the FAQ section is great. Go to this (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=173918) page, and Ctrl+f search for "rears". There's a bunch of info and links to some great write-ups.

Basically, you need to take the rear springs and add a few leaves from some front springs or some other springs of similar width. Your axle will end up 2.5" forward from stock.
