    American Racing black bajas with Cooper RTXs 265/70/17. Black Depo tail lights. LED interior, license plate and reverse lights.Debadged. OME 885 coils and Dakar leaf packs. OME Nitros front and back.
    So I just order Dakars el095r leaf packs. I have a toolbox and pull a trailer from time to time. It says the are medium duty from 0 lbs to gvw. My question is am I going to have the dreaded bro lean? Anyone out there running them your feedback is much appreciated.

    You should be good. I have 886s on the front and the 95r pack on the rear. It has a slight rake and still sits pretty level when towing.

    Awesome. Do yours squeak alot. I’ve heard the 95s were suppose to have improved from the previous leaf packs.

    They still squeak and it gets worse when they get mud and grime in them. After a good pressure wash they stay fairly quiet until the next time you get them dirty.

    You'll be absolutely fine. I run them with nitro's in the rear as well. I've towed quite a bit and have had a toolbox in there for the past 8 months since Ive had them on. No bro lean. They squeak when dirt/sand get in them. Theres products you can spray in there to prevent or eliminate the squeak. I literally just bought the AAL for them because I'm going to put my CBI rack back on for the summer. It's only $70. I'll let you know how my ride changes when I throw it on.

    Mine are only about 2,500 miles old but they don't squeak. Also, they are very firm since I have no weight so I'm sure you'll be just fine with the tool box and trailer as the medium are pretty stiff. I'm actually contemplating putting a few bags of concrete in the bed to May them not busy my kidneys! I'm running Fox 2.0 RR rear shocks.
