Rear leaf packs?

[AlienXtx]

same here, i am just about done with the stock ones with tsb +tsb aal. They are ok if nothing is in the bed.. Load a bunch of stuff, and i got a bro rig. I just want stronger leafs, with a smoother ride.. Is that possible? :d

dakars!!!!

 

[Anathollo]

Yup! Sam you def need the dakars for when you tow your camper around!

 

[thekidcatcher]

I agree!

 

[TacoXpo]

I don't agree yet, it will take me a couple of weeks, then I'll agree!

 

[Silverback]

I agree.. what am I agreeing too? Oh.. dakars.. yes, I agree.

Dakars towing Clyde.. a little sag. Not bad for no load leveling hitch or anything.

5000 lbs travel trailer.. I do have a load leveling hitch but it was not hooked up when this picture was taken.

All loaded up.. firewood.. coolers.. dogs.. everything. No idea on the total weight, but I knew it was back there.

No good flex shots though..

Ok, point taken.. buy the leafs, and the extra load leaf too eh?

yeah might as well, since you have the camper+full load of gear+ kids. So it wouldn't hurt to have it. It's just going to give you a mean rake for awhile until it settles

Well your camper is a little lighter, plus you have that heavy ass ARB bumper up front. I'd hold off on the extra leaf, you can always add it later. I just think it might make your ass end stick up a little higher than you like.

Boy I'll be just as prepared to execute the same plan! I'll have a set of leafs and ONE EXTRA LEAF!

On a side note, Call me a geek but I think I will replace my U-Bolts at the same time. I realize that they are probably fine but I just think stretch! I guess we'll see. Maybe use the same for the leafs and if I pack another leaf in there, replace them then. The last time I rebuilt my front end, I replaced all the hardware (sans a few flat washers).

I forgot about that.. its all in the fine print. LOL

True.. well, I know how you pack.. and how we pack.. I would dare say evenly matched for weight and my Taco looks like one of those funny dirt dragsters with the front all in the air.. so.. I need to do something! I don't have the rear bumper yet, so I would do the extra leaf.. but lord knows I will need it when I do. I need a cheap winch for the front too.. warn

Just saying...

 

[TacoXpo]

I feel like such a looser!

I get home and I have a delivery. No leaf packs. No gussets. No Atomic axles. No Umbrella Girls there to greet me.

A single effen leaf!

Not a pair.

Now, I finally get it! Now is the time that I use the acronym FML!

good use of it, I can't believe they even offer it in a singly AAL, who would ever need just the one? If I fucked up bad enough to bust one I would go ahead and replace both.

Exactly!

Well hopefully you will get the Dakars soon, your going to love the ride. I'll tell you this right now though, they are fn heavy and alot to handle by yourself putting in... better call in a buddy favor.

Fortunately, I have plenty of favors that need calling!

Good thing, did you order the bushings too? I did with mine just because I figured it would be a pain in the ass to pull and reuse the rear ones off my stock springs.
