    The 29XL is the exact same leaf as one of the Dakar leaves. My 29XL is the third from top.

    See pic.

    Did you put a wedge shim between the bottom leaf and the spring perch to correct the change in driveshaft angle to the rear diff when the Dakars were added? I have 15 degree shim.

    They are. The shims go in between the leaf pack and rear axle.

    The D29XL I got from @Sweetheart gave me my rear height back, kept me from knocking on the bump stops, and made the overall ride back there much better.

    I've seen that photoshop job on a lifted tacoma and I think it's super bad ass. I'm not digging it as much on an x runner.

    @inesshell can i see how your tent hangs over your cab? The shipping dimensions on my tent sound insane and im not sure i can pick it up on my lunch break next Wednesday. Its 84x55x15 and 240lbs. Im going to have to unpack it from the box, and then load it to my truck, and ratchet strap it down. Then fully mount it that night. Or i can wait until Friday when im off to take my time and unpack it and mount it. Thanks!
