    huh... Im in my shop with a level floor.
    I just checked it again after flexing it good and driving around for awhile. It has settled a bit. and now Its closer to a 1/2" lean with almost a full tank. That's more reasonable. But still I thought the Dakars would fix it. :(
    Heres my numbers, and I have my Canopy on.

    Both Dakars have a (+)
    right now im at DR: 24-1/4" DF: 23" I thought the front was worse, but it perty level
    PR: 24-3/4" PF: 23-1/8"
    So I figure with a 1/4 full tank my rear should only have about a 1/4" lean.. Not bad. I can live with that! :)

    Soo glad it settled a bit.

    You could go with a rear trim packer like I linked earlier if it doesn't bed in any more

    I'm wondering what the hub to fender measurements are, if your pass is 25 and driver 24". Maybe your bumper is crooked?? Post some pics from behind and underneath. Check your shackles too i put a bolt in backwards on the driver side and it got hung up pushing the driver side down

    I had the same lean in the rear, when you crank up the coilover or in your case put a bigger spacer on the driver front, it acts diagonally to lower the rear right.

    I see what you mean... but my front is really close to level. And im hoping the rear settles and evens out. Thanks guys.
    I really like the ride of the dakars and sport shocks.

    I just had my Dakar springs installed on my DCSB

    Day of install 25 3/4 pass and 25 1/4 driver (1/4 tank of gas).

    After a week of running around 25 1/2 pass and 25 even on driver side (full tank of gas).

    I hope they settle in a bit more. I running Fox 2.0 coil overs up front set at 2" and there is quite a bit of rake. I am going to run them up to 2 1/2" when my spanner wrench arrives and hope the alignment will hold until I can get UCA's and run them on up closer to 3".

    First impressions are great! I was worried about a rough ride but it rides so much better than it did with my worn out factory leafs. I am running fox 2.0 rear shocks as well.

    I got the following measurements on level ground, full tank, no load at about 180 miles on the lift (highway).

    Rear Driver: 24.5
    Rear Passenger: 25.25

    My stock measurements were 21.5 both sides so I got 3in on the drivers side and 3 3/4in passenger.

    Is 3/4 height variance unusual between an over spec leaf pack and and on spec leaf pack? I asked my installer to put the + leaf on the passenger side and they didn't listen. Told me there was some torque related reason to put it on the passenger. I didn't come across anything about that in my research. May ask them to swap them only because I specifically asked them to do it opposite.

    Notable that my front end is level at 23.25 with no taco lean…yet. See after it settles. I wonder if I put the trim packer up front if it will help lower the back right.

    Why OME doesn't give you matching leaf packs spec wise I don't know. Just seems odd to me...

    How much would it even out the rear if I had + pack moved to drivers side? Again, right now my passenger with + pack is sitting 3/4in higher.

    The + means means it is 5mm over spec , - is 5mm under spec IIRC

    So I guess what I am wondering is if the difference between + and - dakars is about 10mm (.40 inches) how did I end up with a 3/4 in difference between a spec (0) dakar and a +? Again shop installed the + on my passenger even though I directed them to do otherwise.

    Any hope of this settling or will both dakars settle at the same rate?

    Worth swapping + dakar over to the drivers side or having shop do it since I asked them to in the first place?

    Or should I just leave it also since I don't seem to have the dreaded taco lean up front?…at leasts not yet
