New OME Dakar Leaf Pack Review

I did the AAL to my 95s with 3° axle shims two weeks ago. The square side of the AAL does point forward......i also shoved in some sweet 2 1/4" Speedway Motors leaf liners. Im glad i bought longer centerpin bolts with the axle shims.

NO MORE SQUEAKS!!!

 

These are the liners? I suppose they don’t sell these are Autozone, Pepboys, Napa?

Those are the ones.....u need 2 packs, one for each leaf pack. Worth every penny, the squeaking was driving me nuts!!!

 

@JWROSE4 we should try this?

 

I was reading over it while in a movie...I agree. Side note I was under the truck the other day and had my boy bounce up and down. I narrowed it down to the yellow antisqueak pads. However while I have them out I am down to try them.

 

I think I may take mine apart before install and do this

 

Want to donate to a tacoma build in need?

 

I think we have been conversing after this post was made but if you need anything else please feel free to PM me again

Thank you so much for your post @MattCowsmasher and your business, we greatly appreciate it!

 

Yes we have I didn’t catch the other tracking # it’ll be here tomorrow I really appreciate your dedication.

 

You Sir are more than welcome

 

I have the EL096R and

$55 EL46XL ARB XL to Suit El095R 96R

EL46XL from @HeadStrong Off-Road, when adding this leaf, should I have another liner and spacer? I know there's a few guys here with this set up but I dont recall who. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated!!

 

The add-a-leaf, for now, doesn't include the anti-squeak components. I have had some people contact ARB directly and they have sent them out these parts as a courtesy.

 

What do you guys suggest Marie? I took the pack apart today and was going to just put it together but chickened out?

 

The pads and liners help with squeaking, which if you can get them it could be nice to have them. However the leaf packs seem to contact each other in other locations so they are still noisy regardless of these pads being in place. If it were me and I was installing the Dakars again I would try to find a liner that goes the whole length of the leafs to help mitigate the squeaking as much as possible.

 

Thank you!

 

Anytime

 

Just ordered! Thank you all.

 

@musher dont know how I screwed up the above quote
