Mid Travel BS 2.0

Wrong.

 

Winning answer

 

No bolts are in that location on my Dakars. Did you verify everything is torqued? Also check carrier bearing..There is a possibility it is spring slap from axle wrap, but doubtful.
Under what condition does this sound occur?

 

Ya I double checked like a month or so ago and everything was still tight but I'll definitely check again. I did the rear suspension almost a year ago and as far as I can remember it always made the noise. It does when flexed and just normal driving, I admit I don't know a whole bunch about suspension but I'm pretty sure those leafs being almost straight like little to no arch is definitely not desirable? Right ? I think anyway

 

Every set of Dakars I have seen are flat, both with flip kits and with stock hangers. Look at the bottom overload. It is already in a negative arch, which essentially means that the spring is designed to go into negative arch when heavily loaded.
I would definitely check everything back there as a clunk is not normal. Squeaks yes, they are Dakars after all.

 

I wouldn't limit the search to just the rear end either, clunks can sound like they come from different places than the actual issue.

 

Thanks @stairgod and @Arcticelf for all the knowledge and info I definitely have some poking around to do.

 

Did the Tundra shocks drop right in? I currently have b110's but they're worn out and I want something a little more substantial. I was thinking about relocating the shock, but would rather not do so right now

Got my lift on. Took it out a few times, around the block yesterday, to/from work today (35/45 mins).

Front is quite uneven, not sure what the beginning numbers were, hard to know where I should be now.

Single cab.

Kit: Camburg extended 2.5s with Dirt King uppers.

Tires: 285/75/16s

Sitting:
Driver Front:
38.5 (Ground to fender)

Passgr Frnt:

Searched around a bit. I am in the vicinity of where i need to be. Not sure where the ideal spot would be.

Lower the passenger side or raise the driver?

Thanks

 

Drive it for a week. Then split the difference. About 23" hub to fender is a nice middle ground.

 

Also get your alignment done. Ifo side is better than the other that gives you some data on which way to adjust lift.

 

Appreciate it sir, thanks!

 

Those 17” eibachs look mighty fine

 

A pic

 

Gonna flat bed it?

 

That looks like it could get expensive in a hurry

 

Naw. I prefer the "with bed" look. Always dug the high clearance bedside cut. Got mine cut, picking up a bed in a few weeks.

And indeed, it had been $. But its fun as hell. Especially since this is a play truck. I keep my 2012 spruce mica for DDing.

 

Hey guys, got my truck up for sale in case anyone is interested:
