    Okay, bear with me. I'm having a minor freak out...

    For a number of reasons I won't get into, I had my Dakars installed by my mechanic. He had some difficulties with my airbag brackets and rusty bolts (and his new guy working on my truck :mad:). It cost me more than I expected to pay - so I'm already not psyched.

    The second spring in the pack has a partial wrap around the eye of the top spring...does this go in front or in the rear? I think I know the answer and I hope I'm wrong. Help! I want to be wrong.

    Installed backward. Can I drive around for a few days like that, or is it a bad idea? @OZ-T

    I think it's fine backwards for temporary setup, but for sure get it corrected.

    I'm assuming that the centering pin on the leafs is centered between the eyes. That locates the axle and centers it under the truck. I really have no idea just theorizing so don't put too much weight in to my post

    Ok, thanks for clarifying. Just had mine installed last weekend as well and was starting to freak out. Hope all goes well from here out.

    Did you go with the OME shocks? I decided to order some Billstein B110s to replace mine.

    I did. Was seriously considering the B110s but had some questions surrounding bumpstops and relocating lines that I couldn't seem to get answers for. I knew I wasnt installing myself and didn't feel comfortable having someone else cycle my suspension to determine whether or not I need new bumpstops. Having some driveline vibes now that I have to figure out but it rides so much better than stock.
