    I have the Boss c/o up front and they ride great and are very well built. not sure if they are different for your set up, im a 2011 dbl cb. saving now for a new leaf pack and thinking about the Boss leaf pack or maybe Dakars.

    OEM with 200k miles. Im afraid if I go with the AAl then it'll settle down. Thinking about going with the darkars with the kit.

    I wouldn't put an aal on them. I could have saved a lot of money if I had bought a new leaf pack from the beginning. aal, then custom pack (the biggest waste of money) now im on wheelers hd 3 leaf aal.

    Are the darkars a strictly new leaf pack or do they make darkar aal as well? If that makes sense ha

    They are a new leaf pack, however if you plan on adding a lot of weight to the rear there is an AAL you can put in.

    Okay. 90% sure they were, just with some of the kit options I've been looking at on other sites made me start to second guess myself with their "wording" choices.

    Gave me around ~3" however that's replacing a worn out leaf pack. I expect it to go down a bit more.

    Not the worst I've seen, but they are frowning a bit.

    I just ordered this same kit from Toytec. :D Here were the options I went with for my 98 Taco: BOSS suspension system.
    600lbs red coils, Front diff drop kit, Complete OME Dakar spring packs(CS046RA/B-96500), Total Chaos UCA's, SS-99 Front brake lines, SS-20 Extended Rear brake line, BPV-K Brake proportioning valve/Brake cable extension kit, FK21 OME Exhaust bracket kit.

    FYI, I went with the 600lbs. springs because I plan to upgrade to a Relentless Fabrication Front Bumper in the future.
