rear leaf spring relacement / upgrade

OK all, here's the scoop. I have a 2013 DCSB, Rancho Lift but I have factory leaf springs with 1.5" blocks installed under the factory leafs. Now that taxes are in I want to change out the factory leafs and get rid of the blocks, I also have the firestone ride rite bags installed (Need them for when I tow my camper). The truck currently sits perfectly even front to back with 10 psi in the bags. However seeing that I want to change out the factory leafs and remove the 1.5" blocks, what leaf pack would be the most equivalent to use. I assume I am looking for a leaf pack that adds 1.5" - 2" of lift? Am I correct in this assumption. Thanks for every ones input

Dakars or all pro expos are your best option.

 

All pro expos might be too much lift for you. They provide 4" with no weight and 3" with significant weight. I would stick to dakars or deavers.

 

Dakars and shackle flip!

How's the shackle flip with that much weight in the rear? I'm considering it.

 

Confused on what the shackle flip is and what the advantage is. I tow a lot of weight...my TT loaded on a trip is around 5600#'s

 

No issues at all. I am running the full Dakar pack with all leafs and the D28XL AAL. NEVER have to worry about squatting.

 

I finally ordered Dakars today, after months of consideration. I almost went custom Alcan but I need them soon and the price is attractive.

 

Mainly the shackle flip gives better droop for off-road situations. Plus extra lift height depending on shackle length.

 

Good to know. I hear it's quite the project removing the old bracket. Gotta love dat droop tho!

 

Find someone with a plasma cutter...that's all I am gonna say

 

Hmm my brother has one and all he requires is coors for payment. Might be sold.

 

You probably won't find many that have an opinion on them. Most have the proven OME Dakars or the Allpro ones. The OME are cheaper minus shipping. Keep in mind, the spring listed in the link is just one, you'll need 2. With just the Dakar springs (and no add a leaf) I got 3.5 inches of lift. The settled out with weight to about 2.75 above stock. You can remove an overload to achieve less. I did just remember that you have to purchase bushings and u-bolts for the Dakars....

 

Which Shackle flip are you running? My 29XL is getting here tomorrow and I was thinking of adding the flip. I need the boost and wouldn't mind the extra droop.
