New OME Dakar Leaf Pack Review

Because people keep buying them

 

Well just ordered the el095r you can add 46xl AAL that turns into a el096r. I maybe should’ve ordered the EL096R instead save some $ and take out the 3rd AAL and run it as a 95r lol

 

Is it the second leaf it third that hits the shackle? Or both?

 

2nd. refer to page #42 there is a pic of the cut leaf. after hearing some random noise from rear end while wheeling I took a look and had some grooves notched into shackle. I will be cutting the leaf as well. anyone have experience doing this with leaf's installed? lift truck and let rear suspension droop, cut with zip cut to shape of 3rd leaf? does the shackle get in the way?

 

You can I would lift it off the ground to take weight off the springs then separate the leafs and put a block of wood under the one you want to cut. This will give you some room and you won't cut into the leaf below it. I trimmed mine down to the anti friction pad because I didn't want to lose it and haven't had any rubbing since. Oh yeah I have BAMF hangars and shackles if that matters.

 

hey all, getting my eibach pro lift kit installed right now on my 2012. was originally going with icon 1.5 aal in the rear but now finding out that i have a broken spring so returning the icon aal and I'm replacing the pack with the

ARB EL095R Old Man Emu Rear Lifted Leaf Spring

EL095R. wondering if the eibach rear shock will be ok or if there is anything i have to worry about.

 

I trimmed mine yesterday like your picture when I was installing, but somehow still got one side 2nd leaf to get stuck below the hanger and jammed all up and under pressure while hooking the front eye up. How did you cut the passenger side while on? There was no way I could get a grinder in there with the exhaust. They need to fix that damn design. I would probably not recommend them just for that reason. I knew I would be trimming and still ended up pissed about it.

 

Any extended length shock (+2-3" above oem) should be fine. There's no clearance issues or anything

 

I fully removed mine to make it easier to chop the hangar off so that made it easier.

 

Sounds good just ordered Bilstein 5125 shocks

 

apologize if this has been asked, but my dakars came with 2 "0" markings. I thought I read that there is a (+) and a (-) marking and to use the plus on the drivers side for taco lean. So is it wrong that I got two of the same "0" markings? I have the newer 095R leafs on a third gen. Was I supposed to get a plus and a minus? These were purchased from Headstrong.

 

I just got a + and a - but no o

 

95 or 96R?

 

95r from wheelers that arrived last Monday.

 

I read on here that o was at spec, - below, and + above spec

 

Right. I guess the question is, is it ok to get 2 of the same or one slightly stronger for taco lean?

 

I was still ¼" low with 6112s at 5/6 and Dakar - and +. I would be upset with 2 - ones.

 

I have 2 “0” ones. If I was supposed to get one stronger than the other, I’m having headstrong send me a new one.

 

That was my understanding, but I'm not a definitive source.

 

Hopefully someone else that knows can chime in
