    Can anyone confirm what the +/0/- coding is on the Dakar leaf pack (on the front of the leaf spring)?

    I think + means above OME spec, 0 is at spec, and - is below spec.

    The reason I ask is my leaf packs are coded differently (one is + and the other is 0). I'm thinking I can put the + on the driver's side to reduce the gas tank lean.

    OP is correct. The + goes on the driver side.

    Keep in mind. I have + on my driver side, - on my passenger side, and I still lean. Also have the OME "Trim packer" on the driver side. Still leans.

    Thanks all.

    Right now I'm at 20.5" ds/21" ps on the stock 2+1 non tsb leafs.

    Thinking I'll pull the 3rd leaf to keep the lift closer to 2" on my dcsb with a shell, carpet kit and and 150lbs of gear. Might run the full pack for a month or so to see how it settles first.

    Thanks man.

    First I was going to go with 5100s.

    Then I researched and thought 5100/885 with an aal.

    Then I got sick and put it all on hold.

    18 months later I decided to pull the trigger and started shopping again.

    I was set on the icons with a wheelers 5 leaf pack. But after more research decided I wanted a progressive shock.

    That led me to the fox. Headstrong had attractive pricing on the full setup with the dakars so I figured I'd better pull the trigger before I changed my mind again.

    I ended up with the same using '+' on driver's and '0' on passenger's.

    In fact I have the same FOX 2.5 coil overs for the front but non-reservoir 2.0 in the rear, so my lift is very similar to the OP. Running Camburg B/J upper arms instead.
