    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    They work on the leaf packs our work on. The thicker standard eye springs will still need modification other then making a thin shackle like stock the standard eye springs will need modification. .

    Dakars, especially with the AAL, will bind in the 4X Shackles. As Jerry indicates, if you have a "standard leaf" eye like this: _O they aren't going to work...without some serious work.

    Just confirming before I order: u402-ex2s will not have any issues with the hangers+shackles, correct?

    re: Dakar compatibility, I finally tapered the second leaf to a thinner profile to clear the inside of the shackle... it appears that the top leaf (standard eye _O style) is still going to contact at full stuff. you can see from the pic it just clears with the truck parked (not stuffed, see bump stop)

    not terrible, but not ideal. haven’t flexed it yet to get a real read on articulation. hope that helps!

    being barbaric with a drill and a grinder i did get those rivets cut thru and hammered those OEM shackle hangers off the frame. it was hard took a lot more hours than i’ll admit. placed new hangers today and torqued on those nut/bolts. able to get one leaf pack onto the axle, but not eyelets aligned. took off the Dakars replaced with Allpro EX packs, much harder to lift working solo.ACB4E4BD-D1A1-4641-AC5B-D51270D45BEF.jpg

    ..and did remove the hangers in order to bolt up the spring/shackle and shackle/hanger...easier just like jerry said

    How much lower(?) do these hang, vs stock? I still don't need them, but man I want some.

    Thanks Jerry! They look very close, but the extra oompf also makes them look much taller. Added to wishlist.

    Ordered mine today, along with the shackles. Curious if anyone else has ran these with the Icon RXT pack yet?
