South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

I'm wanting to remove a leaf from the Dakar pack. Got any suggestions on which to remove?

 

Plus you have cable instead of rope on your winch. But since your bumper is hybrid, it probably all equals out.

 

True. My bumper weighs I think 120# then another 50#-60# for winch

 

I'm hoping to start gathering some skids up soon... I think @Boogyman said I can get the whole set for $500ish

 

it does

 

no i dont

 

Maybe @scottalot can answer it since he was thinking of doing it

 

The other side is held on by like 4 zipties

 

see for me i want hight and ground clearnce so i add leafs and stuff

 

I just want a level look when I add the front bumper and winch...

 

i here hear you im still a 1/2 inch high in the rear but thats good so when i pull trailers

 

Maybe put those 700# springs on before pulling any leafs? I'm sitting level with full dakar pack and 700# springs with all this weight. I really don't see it settling too much more...plus you can add a turn or so of preload to even it back out if you want.

 

Yeah that little won't bother me...fawk I guess I just need to buy a rear swing out HC bumper

 

Now your talking!

 

True... I guess a swing out and skids will be sooner than later

 

yep DO IT and make sure its a SOS

 

I have the dakars +extra leaf. I thought the ass was going to be in the air but I have 3oo lbs and recovery gear in the toolbox+spare tire and swing out+150lbs of sand for the winter. It sits and rides perfect while settling the rear springs in.

 

I'm looking...
