    That's nice. I really just want to axe the entire stock pack. I'm going with Dakars with an extra AAL for the added weight of camping gear when I go out. I think I'll leave the 5100s in the back, go with fox 2.5s up front sometime soon. Just need to get my priorities straight. Skids and sliders or suspension? I know suspension is more important hahaha

    Suspension allll day. If you dont see rocks and tight trails, armor isnt worth it. I've got the Front Bumper for Deer, not for trails, but it does a good job at doing both.

    I was just about to order them but came across some rear icon rest shocks for a good deal so might hold off on Dakars and Rotopax as I don't have any wheeling trips planned immediately. This is the best deal I've ever found on them.

    Thanks! The only complaint I would have about the Toyos is the price. Even then, they are worth it. They kick ass on dirt, pretty quiet on the road, and they do pretty well in mud. They do pack mud a bit but still get traction.

    I haven't had any issues but haven't run it too much. I'll be getting a Prinsu sometime!

    Oh I forgot to mention this before your bumper install, but I noticed that if you put some nylon washers in between your swingout handle it moves much nicer!! And grease the springs on the pull pins.

    Need some opinions of guys with either pack.

    I'm deciding between Dakars with an AAL or an All-Pro expo leaf pack.

    I'm pretty in the middle. I like that Dakars have 2 overload springs but with 10 leafs in the All-Pro pack, I feel like I won't need them.

    I have had a great experience with All-Pro when buying my ubolt flip kit and AAL and their packs are made in the USA. Just an added plus.

    For weight, I have a 200 pound camper shell, a 130 pound rear bumper with a 100 pound spare on it. When I camp, I have my 100 pound RTT on top of the shell and probably another 200 pounds of gear in the bed.

    Let me get some opinions!

    I love my Dakars and think the ride is decent unloaded but with 200+ pounds in the back its perfect. No problems so far
