OME Dakar vs. All Pro vs. Deaver vs. Alcan

Fox 2.5 adjustables, JBA UCA's, and Dakar mediums going on next week...

How's the flex on the dakars? Figured they could handle the rtt and the Husky 701 enduro.

Do they cure axel wrap?

I wanted deavers or icon RXT but they couldn't get them over night, and I'm flawed- impatient.

 

I'm running the same rear set up and it works well, you may be a little under sprung with the husky on there, but you can add a spring from ome tha bumps them to the heavies

 

Why the asterisk* next to ALCAN?

 

because you voted for ALCAN

 

Didnt realize that was there until after I voted... thx

 

I'll be swapping my dakar mediums for the Deaver expo stage 1 in the near future. Dakar ride is OK, but they've got a ton of squeak in them over the last few years

 

Dobinsons super heavy duty 112-R leaf pack with their 113-R add a leaf. This got me my rake back and wow does it handle the weight better than my Dakar CS047R leaf pack with the

$82 D29XL Leaf Spring

D29XL add a leaf. Same number of leafs but the way I’m sitting now almost fully loaded is the way I was sitting with the above Dakars when I was completely empty. I don’t have new profile pictures yet but will get some this week.

 

So much better....

 

Lookin for a little direction. I’ve been eyeing the medium dakars for a while now as it’s going to give the lift I’m hunting for. But I keep hearing the squeaks and longevity problems. Truly I’ll have 0 load and a rare off-road adventure.

Should I stick with the dakars or is there another pack I should get that will provide that same 2.75” lift?

 

+1 for Dakars

 

I installed the OME HD Dakars (EL-112R) about a month ago and am super happy. The ride is great, they handle my constant 450lb load well and performed well on the trail. Obviously, mine are fairly new, but I haven't had any squeaks or other problems.

 

I went with the allpro 3" standard. I rarely carry any real load and I wanted the lift and the ride. So far I'm really happy. The ride is excellent. Hope this helps.

 

hah dang. Kinda the two I’m stuck around. Both I hear are good but I’m hearing more of a solid ride from the All-Pros for just a shade or two more

 

A couple of things to consider with the allpro leafs, a big plus for me was the ride. They are so close to a factory ride I almost couldn't believe it. The other thing is you'll have to get extended bump stops. They say they can invert without them.

 

bout $200 more but better overall review may be worth it. Headstrongs Dakar is is nice though lol probably a bit out still but narrowing it down bit by bit

 

Give Wheeler's a call, maybe Steven can help you out. He's done really well by me.

 

I did send out an email yesterday to them since time to call out is a little constricted so hopefully I’ll hear something!

 

I would suggest a phone call, those guys are usually pretty busy. Somewhere on TW recently, I seen a set of allpro standard leaf packs for sale? Not sure but I think they were used? Guy was going to the expedition weight allpros I think.

 

Not sure but I wanna think he was asking around $300? Damn, I wish I could remember where on here I seen that.
