    Who has rebuilt the older style Dakar leaf pack?
    The brackets that keep the leaf's aligned have started to fail due to rust.
    On my first gen I had the Wheelers leaf packs and broke leafs on both sides after a few years, had to replace both packs. Joys of the midwest...

    Looks like they have update to medium and heavy options, not sure if parts are cross compatible.
    I'd like to source a confirmed parts list before I order. I did find a parts list awhile back but wanted to make sure it was accurate.

    Thanks

    Does that mean they come with the extra leaf installed, vs in the past where you had to order and install separately?
    Well that should simplify the part compatibility. I may just call OME/ARB.

    I would call to confirm I bought mine from low range off-road I bought the heavy duty pack but they shipped me the medium one and I had to call and ask for the other leaf they weren't going to ship them to me at first so I'm not sure how they're supposed to come.
