Delta's 2002 Tacoma 4WD Build and BS

The D43XL is the new one and it came out recently. I'd presume that you have the D6XL.

 

Hmm. The more research I do, the more it seems like this isn't a dakar leaf pack. I count 4 leafs with an over load.

 

I'm pretty sure that's the OEM leaf springs, and maybe an AAL from Wheeler's.

 

That's what it's looking like more so to me.. the current owner is saying they're dakars. From 2011-12. I don't know if they changed them.

 

They're definitely not Dakars. Here's an image for reference of my old OEM leafs.

 

He said he brought them straight from wheelers. Interesting. I asked for a model number.

 

Yep, just checked. D6XL

 

Yeah, to me those look like OEM with an aal. Interesting. They look like they have a nice arch though, maybe ome changed it up

 

Yea, if those are Dakars, then man are they dirty and used. As well as two of leafs have been taken out.

 

Well there's a few years, about 20k miles on them. But still, the leafs are what's getting me. I am going to message up wheelers I guess and see what they say.

 

The OEMs have that thick overload spring with the reverse curve. I don't think they have those teflon inserts though.

 

Well I messaged Dan from wheeler's up. He said they are the 5 leaf pack from wheeler's. I appreciate the help guys!

 

Oh really? That's good to hear! Wheeler's 5-leaf pack is pretty great, then again there's a lot out there better then the OEM stuff lol

 

Exactly. But I'm looking for something more like the dakars. Which Dan made it pretty clear they're built differently, have different designs and different intended uses.

 

Gald you got an answer!

 

Thanks! Just frustrated now. Haha.

 

Wait until you decide to replace the bearing in your rear axle. You'll look at this like a joke.

 

I hope that day never comes.

 

Feeling pretty good about my vertical down lap for slider practice, going to probably burn them on Wednesday hopefully.
