Dakar vs Deaver?

So I just put in an order for my eibach lift second notch and Dakar HD in the back, so I have the option to taking one out to medium.

the more I read, the more I read negative things about the dakars.

Am I going to regret getting them and should I consider deavers or the icon pack?


Also

I was just going to go the Aal route since this is my first build, but I figured since I’m going to had a shell and a bumper later on (not sure when) maybe I should go ahead and get the full pack?

 

Check out Icon RTX.

 

All the negative things I’ve heard or read about Dakar (no actual experience w them) is the reason I upgraded to deaver. Only heard good things and local to me so it was a no brainer. I have stage two for a few months and they’ve been great

 

We need to know more about your goals and budget.

 

I saw those on headstrongs site. It looks like they only come in one rating but doesn’t say how much it can hold? Only says 1.5 lift

 

Pull them out and sell them to some other sucker, get an icon or deaver pack. Your gut is telling you what to do! Follow it!

 

just getting into off roading. Definitely going to be going camping a lot more and joined a few off roading groups I plan to go with locally.

 

This.

I've had both (deavers now). We need to know goals, budget, current setup etc

 

Ya I think you’re right.

does the RTX only come in one option?

 

Deaver>AllPro>Dakar

 

Current is stock 2018 tacoma: just starting the build

 

Comes with everything you need to do Stage 1 2 or 3.

 

I went with stage III u402's because I have a shell/topper, and a steel high clearance rear bumper with swing out and full size spare

 

This right? What’s the difference in each stage?

 

The best thing to do is speak with Deaver or visit them. My friends that have Deaver leaf springs said it was worth the price.

 

I suggest leaving it stock until you learn what you need/want.

 

Well I got my wheels and tires in. Ridge grapplers and Fn 5 stars and know I want to do the eibach lift:

so maybe do the aal for now

my friend has an rxt he wants to take off and sell this summer anyways so maybe wait till then and do the aal for now

 

Don't fix it if it's not broken. Is there something wrong with your current suspension? Is there a trail obstacle you can't get past? Are your lap times on the local desert race track not acceptable?

 

having switched from dakar to deaver, I should have went with deaver in the first place. So much more happy with my stage 2 u402 pack. I had there heavy duty dakar pack and it started to invert shortly after install. I wasn't weighed down super heavy either.
