The Official Unofficial Super Pacific X1 Camper Thread

Yeah I think he shoud go with that kit. Its great bang for buck and should work.

 

I, do not, however recommend the OME Dakar leaf springs for the 2nd gen. I've heard and seen too many reports of them turning into a W shape within months of being loaded within their range.
For my 2nd gen, I'm going to eventually get Deaver springs once I settle down on my normal loads with trips and decide if I get a rear bumper or not.

 

i agree planning on replacing mine with alcan being local or deaver.

 

The theory is that we would likely sleep 4 only when making quick stopovers or single night short notice trips. Anything more than that and we would be breaking out our ground tent. Fitting 4 in a pinch hopefully allows us the super quick setup/pack up we will be looking for in those type of circumstances.

 

Are you guys doing deavers stage 2 or stage 3?

 

I'm in the same situation as you, but 5 instead of 4. I'm relatively sure I have something planned out that will work. I'll update as I build it out. Camper in 2 weeks, then it's go time.

 

I think this is mixed answer depending on your use/need. Some of us run alot of weight with armor bumpers ect... some are just stock.

i plan to order a custom pack based off my weight. So it could be a stage 3 deaver or custom alcan but hard to say.

I think weighing your truck before and after would be a good idea.

then you can determine if you need a pack, AAl, or airbags

everything even stock should work for a while, but you may end up wearing out the leafs faster due too the added weight.

 

I’m going custom Deavers based on my weight. Already got a quote when I had my canopy and RTT. The SP is a little lighter than my Canopy and RTT setup I had. Just need to go make the order lmfao!

 

yah most people have too heavy of trucks. My leafs are flatter than hell. I added the extra leaf then added my swingout and the rear def sits lower. I've been told my shock mounts need to be changed but I think its my shitty leaf pack is sitting 1-2" lower than it should be

 

Did you weigh the truck? that's big big shocker. I will need custom ones as well. Talked with them but have not settled up was going to wait for the X1. but $1200 is the custom pack for most. Not cheap but well worth it from what i have read and been told by everyone. Some Vagabond guys went with u402 stg 3 but later had to get them custom since those were not enough.

 

Haven’t officially weighed my truck at a CAT scale but weighed it at weigh stations that are on the side of the roads here. I went to Oregon Spring Company. They used to make the leafs for Deaver. They quoted me $1k for custom Deavers and U-Bolts.

 

what was the weight over stock they are looking at? Big thin is finding the rear weight not the entire weight. Curious what they are setting you up with

 

I can’t remember the weight it’s been a long time ago when I got the quote. Here’s the invoice.

I went in to ask about the Stage 3 Deavers and they said it wouldn’t work with my weight and recommended custom.

 

yah ok that doesn't tell you what its rated. all good not sure what m25/ m26 is but ill be looking the same. look like our trucks are similar. I assume your 6500-7k total weight.

 

Yeah about 6500k-7k. She’s a pig lol!

 

haha yah my last weight was 7k i was like well that explains a lot...

 

I tried to cut some weight and switched from steel to aluminum skids lmfao

 

damn only if deavers have a stage 2.5, that'd be perfect for me

 

My OME HD sags about 1 inch rn when I add gear to the bed, Rigd tire carrier/spare, 10+ gallon water. I empty out my bed after every trip atm since everything is expose, ride perfect rn with empty bed and rtt. But the plan is to keep everything inside constantly when i get my SP. Not planning on steel bumper any time soon.

 

add the OME AAL to your HD
