    Look I'm a dumbass as many of you may know if you ever read one of my threads and I was just wondering what is the Rear TSB Is it a whole new leaf pack if it is , is it better or worse than Dakar Leaf Pack?

    .
    The Rear TSB (Technical Service Bulletin), is an additional leaf that is installed from the dealer to make up for the lousy leaf springs on your truck, if you have three leafs (including the overload leaf), then you truck did not get the TSB. Your truck may not need it because it's an '11, Dakars are far superior to the stock springs.

    FYI

    Dakars will lift your rear approx 2 3/4 - 3" , you will need new rear shocks

    No it is not an additional leaf added.
    Don't know why this get erroneously repeated over and over :confused:

    It is a completely new spring in 3+1 configuration. (stock is 2+1)
    (3 normal leaves and 1 overload)
    Figure on 1-1/2"(+/-) lift

    The Dakar is a superior spring.
    2-3/4" lift

    stock<TSB<Dakar

    Daks are great for weight , stiffer ride when unloaded .

    Wanting to know the same thing. My 2011 prerunner has 2+1 in back and I tow a trailer with an atv and it sags a little. Plan on 5100s in front at 1.75 and in rear. Will the dakars be too much?
