    None, Dobinsons. Or even better, custom alcan leaf pack. Alcans will set you back about 800, Dobinsons are about 600 with bushing and greaseable pin kit. Never had sounds or issues from either springs. I've swapped out about 8 leaf packs.

    Based on how you said you use your truck, everything you’ve mentioned will be overkill lol.

    How did you go about your claim? I emailed OME 10 days ago about my springs & still have heard nothing back!

    I reached out through email and had communication with a tech but I received prompt responses. My springs have not been on the truck a month so they were well within any warranty time period.

    Yea, I am not sure either. Their customer service was top notch though. Hopefully they get back to you soon.

    I have appreciated this read guys. I just purchased the Dakar HD pack for my truck and it sounds like I need to contact OME about warranty and such just in case. I have been struggling with validating the need of upgrading from the OEM leaf pack with the Toytec 3 pack AAL and a 1 inch spacer. I want to make sure it will hold all my weight how I’m hoping and it will be worth it. I’m guessing 400lbs heavy in the back when we camp? Ya know, give or take. The picture is loaded with just the 3pack AAL and spacer.

    I have the Dakar heavies in my truck, they don't get anywhere near the bumpstops with a bed load of hickory.

    As for rear shocks, I went with 2.5's. The reason being? It's what Accutune suggested after our conversation. I've never ran Radflo, but I haven't heard anything necessarily bad about them, if they have a good tune for your truck I'm sure they'll be great.

    Maybe you can elaborate on the info we requested from you prior to tuning the shocks? Other retailers will hardly ever get this much info, which means they are throwing a base tune in the shocks for a generic truck setup.
