    Hey guys,

    about 4 years ago I installed dakar mediums on my '18 OR. I'm going to be riding it into the ground and it will be used as more of a daily at this point, and I might sell the truck in the next year or 2. So I want to turn it back into a "dad" mobile and sell my upgraded parts.

    So, I'm sourcing for the stock leafs at this point. Does anyone know the part number(s) I'd need? I want to find some take-offs but I want to make sure I get all the right parts. All I know now is I have the dakars installed... so not sure what parts of that I can reuse? Will I need any bushings/bolts/etc other than the leaf springs? I know I'll need new shorter u bolts but other than that anything else? I can't even remember if the bump stops and the plate that the u-bolts go through and hold the leaf springs in tact are reusable or not. Any help much appreciated!

    Also, I remember some of the stock leaf springs (the one I had included) had a tiny shim for which I believe is for vibration. Not sure if I need this or not as well as some seemed to have gotten their trucks that didn't even have it, and some did.

    the market place has alot of people selling stock, used parts from when they upgrade, any 3 gen leaf springs should work.

    do they usually come with everything I'd need? not sure if people reuse certain parts from stock when moving to upgraded leafs. It's been a while since I did mine, and I didn't even install mine, I paid people to do the work

    Best person to ask that would be the person selling them, they know what they have and what you would need.
