    From the right light to the left through the track(since nothing will be sliding through there) and then on the top of the shell towards the front along the rack and down in between the bed and cab to a wire bundle then zip tied to that drilled into the cab(silicone used here for proofing) then down the running board up to the dash through a switch........I know I know a lot of wire but there are no breaks and its tucked out of sight. Still looking to find what wire is the reverse light so I can tap into that at the wire bundle I have it zipped to so I dont have to run wire into the camper.

    Thats awesome! If I were you I would go ahead and get that extra leaf in the dakars....its very needed once you start puttin weight back there. Without it they really sag.

    I have ordered the CS046R dakars...I think they come with an extra leaf(2nd from bottom) that can be removed for comfort if you wish....I do not plan on removing the extra leaf....

    Have I ordered the correct springs?

    Dont ever order from http://www.hidxenonheadlights.com/

    they over charged me and didnt send the high and low ballasts needed and after almost a month they still havent responded back to me either from phone or email..

    And the bulbs they have are terrible in design and seem to focus like a pencil for terrible light distribution.

    Buy the ones from Slim cubby.

    You've ordered the correct springs, but you still need the D6XL add-a-leaf. The Dakars on their own do not handle much of a load well. They ride great, but especially since you have a topper, once you start adding weight in the bed you'll be disappointed unless you get the D6XL (it will be the new 3rd leaf from the top when you install it). Even with the AAL the ride is still good, it will add about 3/4" of lift, but more importantly you can actually load stuff in the back without it sagging.

    Exactly. Was NOT happy with my dakars until I did the AAL. Now I love them, and the ride didnt get any worse once I installed the AAL.
