    That's for first gens is my guess. +, -, and 0 for 2nd gens.

    Re-read what I wrote. As and Bs are for 1st gens, +, -, and 0 are for second gens.

    The way I understood it is + means slightly longer then spec. - means slightly under spec. 0 means on target to specified length. We're talking negligible amounts. But I think they say to put the + on the driver side to help offset the Taco lean.

    So, the side of the Dakar Leafs that displays the + or - should be in the Front right?

    Not necessarily. Both of my leafs are marked "+". However, being a 1st Gen, mine are also marked "A" and "B" to tell me which side.

    Not entirely correct

    The leafs will have a + , 0 , or - on them

    If you get a mixed set the highest arched one should go on the drivers side , but it may not be a +

    For example , if you got a set that was a 0 and a - then the 0 should go on the driver's side

    Ok, what about running different Rear Shocks with the Dakars(05+ Tacoma).... I currently have Bilstein 5100's in back. Will I have to go to a longer shock like the Old Man EMU(60091) or (insert more expensive brand here)?

    You can use the 5100s but they may wear our quicker if you flex the suspension a lot. The shocks will act as limit straps if they're not long enough.

    Full OME suspension (885 front springs, Dakar leaf pack + OME shocks) + D29XL extra leaf + 3 deg. shim + RideRite airbags

    I'd also like to know this. I find the OME a bit soft when I load my Taco, I would like to add rear shocks which are adjustable, possibly something like the Icons 2.5" with CDC clicker valve.

    I already have the airbags but the ride is very bumpy (truck goes up and down several times after large bumps). I think the shocks cant compensate for the bags and the rough forestry roads I drive on for work. Something adjustable would be ideal for my application. I'll probably try the OME AAL first to see how that goes, new shocks is plan B.
