    DON'T JOIN TACOMA WORLD!! JUST DON'T!

    Got it done..was pretty straight forward. Def seems to be easier to take the leaf pack off to get the extra leaf in.

    DCSB without 4X4... just purchased 6122’s and 5160’s..... does it make sense to do the Dakar leaf pack while I am at it? Does it only help if you are carrying heavy load? Or will it help on and off road feel?

    I just bought the same thing and I'm wondering the same thing. Best to install it all together I assume? Also curious about u bolt flip kit for this leaf.

    Havent read thru the thread yet, but Im planning to purchase the 96 HD leafs for my 3rd gen. Can anyone give me an idea how much the 96s lift the rear without any load, and how they ride? I do prefer the raked look and plan to run these with 887s or 888s on the 90021 OMEs.

    Still trying to determine best leaf options when running 6112's and 5160's.... no weight, DCSB pre runner.

    For the leaf pack...already have the 6112's and 5160's. Debating Dakar's or Deavers....

    For sure...you could get 2 leaf packs for that price.
    If you go the Dakar route, just do a little extra prep work prior to install.

    If it’s in the budget then I’d go deavers, all day. I view dakars as a budget option, while still being good quality. Like JBA UCAs.

    Just got 4 anti-squeek pucks put in my AALs.
    The place I brought them to charged me $10 to do it. Didn't think that was bad at all. :D

    Possible to remove the 3rd leaf while on the truck? Or just remove leaf set entirely.

    Hey yall, i carry 475 lbs constant load and want to end up with 1.5" of lift out back. Are heavy or medium dakars my best bet? Ive heard the medium ones sag with added weight so im not really sure what to do

    My rear shocks are built for 1.5" of lift and i want to keep them to minimize cost
