    Mostly stuff I built.
    Like the title says any one running Dakars in the rear with no front lift?
    Does any one have good side shots of their trucks with Dakars installed before front suspension was lifted?
    Wanting to see how much rake I am going to be looking at if I install them without lifting the front.

    I tow with my 16 a lot hauling materials for my side job and my rear springs are paying for it. I have Dakars on one of my other trucks on all four corners and have had them on several trucks over the years and love them. I have sumo springs on it and my rears are dead flat with them. Without the sumo springs they are about 1" negative arched and on the overload spring 100% of the time unloaded.

    It's going to look pretty funny. Probably at least 2.5" over what you have now. You could put a bottle or scissor jack between the axle and frame now to simulate what it will look like.

    I have leaf sag too. Frowny springs from only my SnugTop shell. I am ordering the OME With Dakars right now. I will do the back first. And take a picture.

    Is the Dakars on there? If not it doesn't look like it's sagging. I have the same shell. here's a pix of mine with Dakar leafs and 887 coils up front. Just imagine the front lower about 2.5" to see what rake you'd have...

    Yes with Dakars I Put the Dakars and rear shocks on last night. Its good now. Still waiting on Upper control arms to do the front. Although seems like the Nitro shocks could have been 2 inches longer for more droop.
