    Drop rear axle down to relief weight and bolts should come out

    Definitely. Made sure myself. Everything is all good to go. I'm stumped.

    we will wee if these last longer than the previous coils, I'm still confused as to why the driver side leans so damn much. I mean almost a full inch. Granted I am doing a semi rough estimate when measuring from center of hub to fender.

    Tomorrow ill get some better measurements. Maybe at the gad station where its for sure level. I don't know what else it could be.

    On second gen + - and 0 don't mean a whole lot. They simply note deviation from standard spring rate. A + has slightly higher spring rate than a -, with a 0 being baseline.

    If you get two leaves, one with a + and one with anything else, put the + on the driver but you'll probably never notice the difference.

    Exactly..I called the company and said if had two different springs the higher one goes on driver side if not will cause worse taco lean

    Unfortunately I don't have the Dakars, just the Icon 3 leaf pack. With the overload still in.

    The rear is a whole other issue which could also be contributing to the lean. Its old and worn out. A factory pack from another members truck after mine began to get some negative arch. These seem to be pretty flat now as well.

    well i dont know what exactly is wrong with the rear.. thats what im trying to figure out.

    leaf packs flatten out, it happens. Dont really want to get a full new custom pack. would prefer to stick with a factory pack, and just my Icon 3 leaf pack in addition. I THINK maybe the used pack i picked up.. was just that.. maybe a little too used. Ive been looking for anyone selling their newer factory packs (maybe someone going to Deavers, Dakars, or an Expo pack after getting their new truck.

    I just feel like im constantly trying to just put a bandaid on the rear suspension for lack of a better term.

    The back shackle is free. I've got a floor jack on the diff slightly lifted and I've been trying to play with the truck jack to get this bolt lined up.

    Any ideas?
