    Concerning ride characteristics and load handling, what's the difference between removing the 3rd leaf and the long overload? I'm looking for a smoother ride.

    DCSB and I will be running 884 springs, so I'm worried about too much rake from the Dakars. Personally I'd love to have no more than an inch.

    Right now at stock (TSB) I have 1.5" of rake.

    I do not. Other than weekend camping gear or home improvement crap, the rear goes largely unloaded.

    Removing the 3rd will lower the spring rate or " stiffness " of the pack

    Removing the upper overload just lowers the pack

    I thought my truck sat high in the back with the factory springs. Had a nice rake to it. When I removed my leafs, one of them had a plus (+) on it. Is this common?

    2014 DCSB. A belly pan is the only extra weight I have. I put 885s up front and I removed the 3rd leaf. I got 23 3/8" on both sides.

    Anyone got a side view of a Dakar pack, preferably before installation, so those who are considering this can see which leaf is which for removal? If this has been posted, sorry...

    So if you want a little better ride, take out the middle leaf of the upper 5, or, if you want to just drop the height 1/2" or so, take out the upper overload leaf?

    Basically , yes , however removing the 3rd will also drop the ride height

    So I figured, but also figured removing the 3rd will soften up the ride more than removing the overload. My plan is to replace my OR 3-leaf without too much lift, retain a reasonably soft ride, and gain more load capacity.

    Thanks for the info.

    No worries

    In your case you may want to look at the Wheelers HD leaf pack as well

    What are the main differences between the Wheelers and Dakar leaf packs?
