OME lift too much rake?

Yea I have the driver side spacer.

I guess just accustomed to a more level stance. I'll leave it for now and see where it ends up

 

If the rear rides too firm unloaded and you want to come down some, remove the 3rd leaf as stated by Headstrong. Or you can do the 'add a dirt bike' mod to the bed and the weight will be just about right. Me, I'm pulling the 3rd leaf on my Dakars since I want to get about 2.2" of lift to match the same I got in the front and don't plan to be loading the rear very often.

 

I removed the long overload leaf. Getting ready to pull the trigget on an rtt, so wanted to keep the load rating. A lot of people say that the ride is too stiff without the rear having a load, but I think it rides just fine.

 

Did you get the light or heavy duty Dakar leafs?

 

Are you asking me? If so, I don't have the new Dakar leaf packs. I have the previous version.

 

As many others have said....leave it alone, it looks great the way it is!!

 

From the research I have gathered if you switch the 887s with the 888s you should gain around 1/2"
Would be a better option for getting a little more umph

Did you add new upper control arms as well?

 

Your avatars are so similar I thought you were talking to yourself.....

 

I like it

 

Haha!!

 

It may relax a bit over time especially if you haul stuff from time to time....looks great BTW
G

 

I would leave it. I want that rake if I ever lift. We bought trucks presumably to use the bed and when we do it will go down. Who wants that Southern California look? Not me.

 

Put the quarter inch spacer from headstrong upfront and it will give you about a half an inch of lift

 

What were your before and after measurements... i'm looking at the same suspension set up and I'm curious how much you gained front and also rear.

Thanks.

Gorgeous truck too

 

This amount of rake is perfect!
I have less rake on mine bcuz i went with option 2 on my icon rxts. Im planning to add the extra leaf to add as much rake as you have. Personally leveled trucks look bad to me...

 

After a few hundred miles, some suspension flexing and carrying a small load it should settle nicely, there will still be some rake. When I installed (paid a shop!) it seemed like the rear was sitting around 5 inches of lift, it came down then when I added a lear cap it was perfect, rode great with the weight of the cap.

 

Thread is about 5 years old. I imagine he went with the medium pack (EL111R). Looks good

 

Lol. OP was last seen almost 3 years ago

 

Haha no shit lolol. I bet the leaf pack has settled a little by now

 

i think it looks awesome
