Hey Chris, you got those 3" rear springs yet?

I have been running Ap front springs for about 1.5 year now. They flex well, ride nice etc. Only complaint is that they settle a good bit....

(I edited it for size -DRM)

I think they work pretty nice also and have decent road manners. They do bag out mine are two years old and need to be changed or have a helper leaf added

It's a 91' with 4" front and 5" rear Allpro springs

Love the springs on and off road. My trucks a daily driver and I don't run swaybars. It rides and flexes great.

Here is my 83 with 5" All-pro springs. Is this better flimmy.

We just received 100 front 3" springs on Friday, the 3" rears are on the way, expecting them next week.

Bummer on the size. As you can see, the springs get the job done. I got chebys out back.

They flex even better than your old red x's :D

I have been contemplating your stock length front springs for a 85 runner. I noticed you have two heights 4" and 5" which one do you reccommend for ride and flex? How much will these eventually sag? Also this is for a daily driver so i dont wanna get flamed for not getting the dropped mount and longer springs:flipoff2:

Ok not to be an ass, but if your 5.5" springs sag 2", will your 3" springs be a 1" lift when they say, or are they not going to say at all? R they as flexy as the other springs U sell? R they from the same maker? Just some real Questions, not baggin on AllPro.

it's SAG not say Seabass :flipoff2: sorry, but three times in a row I had to SAY something :D

I would choose the 4" springs, to keep the truck lower and not too tippy.

Springs are like pants, every brand fits differently.

Yes the springs are being made by the same place that makes our other springs, Betts in San Leandro, California. The only difference between the 5", 4" and 3" springs is the arch of the spring. Other than that they are identical to the others we sell. We would expect to see the same amount of sag as our others. And yes you can expect our springs to drop about 2" during the first month or so as the springs settle in. They will sag further without bumpstops installed at 3" gap up front and 5" in the rear.

Our spring lift is based on Jon's 4000 lb 4Runner. On a heavier rig you will get less lift and on a lighter rig you will get more lift. Using this as our standard rig we measure the lift from the ground to the frame after the springs are fully settled. So when you put a new set of springs on it's more lift than what the spring says.

We get an equal number of comments about the springs being too tall or too short so I think our advertised amount of lift is right on. On lighter rigs like Jon's sub 2900 lb 89 pickup our springs are too stiff and provide more lift than they should. On Jon's rig we run a special set of springs that are identical to our other springs except the leafs are all 1mm thinner than our production springs.

On my rig (just under 3500 lbs) I run with one leaf removed up front and 2 leafs removed in the rear. I have been running the very same set of springs for 2 years and have beat the crap out of them and they show no signs of sagging.

Would it be possible to place a order for your springs and pick them up or have them shipped directly from Bett's since i live like
5 minutes from San Leandro?

Sorry, they are not setup to deal with the public. You will need to come to our shop or have us ship them to you.

hey Chris were gettin ready to put a pair of the rears on a 94 yota they are the 56" ones, i noticed when we moved the hangers on my 85 we did what you guys said and it seem to put the shackle at a really bad angle, would you still recommend moving the hangers on this 94 6 inches forward or would it give us the same angle as the 85 or will they eventually break in. Hope that made some sense

Ben

i run the all pro rears minus 2 leaves and the fronts minus one. the fronts ended up bending so they were replaced under warranty. i have(had) the 4 inchers, replaced the fronts with the 3 inchers....

The numbers we use are just a starting point. Tack it together, put it together, add a few hundred pounds to the rear then look at the shackles and adjust to taste.

Well since this seems to be the place to axe Chris questions aboot Allpro springs......


If I were to buy a set of the 56" rear 4" lift springs, how much would the the hangers cost? Can I buy them seperetly? I don't need the shocks or the perch kit otherwise I'd get the whole rear kit. Thanks!

Yep, hangers only are $60 per pair.

Try AOR4x4.com They will match the correct springs for your truck. For instance if you have a winch or a heavy bumper. These springs will be custom made just for your truck.

Call me at the shop when we are open and I can measure one for you.

I'll have to say that I am very happy with my 5.5 inch All Pro rears! They're frickin beefy (9 leaf packs and still flexy as hell) I don't think you could find a better spring for the price either. If I wanted to run blocks I might have gone with the Chevys but I hate blocks.
