    Thank you for letting me know, you've been quite helpful the last week or so.

    I just got under my truck right now, the stock 3 leaf pack is flat, I don't really haul in the truck, but I do put dirtbikes in the back which gets to about 500lbs. I'm not looking to get more than 1.5" lift in the back, should I go with a progressive AAl from wheelers or something else?

    Yeah , I would probably look at the 3 leaf AAL or the Wheelers HD pack with maybe a leaf removed

    I went with the 3 leaf HD from Wheelers and it suits my needs perfectly. I put the dirtbikes and gear in the truck (just over 500 lbs) and it worked great, didnt sag much at all, didnt bottom out on bumps or potholes like the stock leafs. Really smooth.

    Glad I came across this thread this afternoon. I almost pulled the trigger on some Dakars earlier today when I ordered my Icons. I'm still on the fence between Dakars, Alcans, or driving down to deaver and having them put a custom leaf pack on. TacoBrah, how is your leaf setup riding?

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Get reservoir shocks. Much smoother ride.

    Sorry to revive a thread, but I am trying to decide on a dakar pack with leaf 3 removed, or something else in the back. I will be doing King CO ext up front and king 2.5 smoothies in the back. I was leaning towards dakars but don't carry more than 400 pounds on trip, and usually nothing, so it sounds like Dakars would be too stiff from what you guys were saying. Would the Wheelers off Road WHE MP3A multi leaf add a leaf be a better option?

    Yeah get the wheelers. You can take out the overload if you want.
