Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

looking at the Wheelers Trail-Pro kit. Seems like a great bang for your buck. Bilstein 6112s/5160s, all the necessary hardware and bumpstops, ubolt flit kit and leafs.

not a lot of hauling but I plan to pull around a snowmobile trailer regularly in the Winter.

currently debating all pro leafs or dakars. Cant seem to figure out the difference or pros/cons

 

I looked in my rear view while driving and saw all the lights and thought “Oh that’s gotta be Jared” so the license plate was just confirmation. I’m at that Home Depot daily basically. At the intersection of Main St where I went straight my house is 2 minutes from there

 

A lot of us run the 6112/5160 combo, we're all very happy with the bang for buck performance you get

 

what rear leafs are you running?

 

Great kit but skip both the dakars and the all pros leafs. Go with Icon RXT's. They are a little more but they will not squeak, they are modular so you can change the weight or height settings as you add more weight to your truck, and they are both strong like the Dakar and flexible like the all pros. Best of both worlds. The 6112/5160 combo is awesome. I have the same thing on my 2013 dclb. They can be adjusted as well.....well...be it needing to take the shock apart to do it but they are adjustable.

 

those are pretty sweet. Heres the dilemma. I already have Dakars, found them lightly used on FB marketplace. Trying to piece a lift together compared to just doing the wheelers trailpro kit is proving to be hard. The wheelers kit is a damn good deal.

 

Trust me.....there is a reason why you got them cheap. For a good piece together deal, go to headstrongoffroad.com

 

I'm running ATS hd's but I'll second Jared and say icons are gonna be the option that make the most sense. What kind of weight are you going to be running?

 

Oof, they're gonna squeak reeeeeal bad

 

I’ve read that they squeak. After the fact of course. Haha

 

Dakars won’t squeak if you get a needle attachment for your grease gun and shoot grease in between all the leafs . I haven’t had a problem with mine . I also have the 6112s up front but 5125 in the rear ( for 2-3” lift ) . I have no need for the rear reservoir shocks . Welcome

 

4 years and no squeak with mine . Also have those greasable yellow pucks in there . Needle attachment to get in there and I spray with Krown rust prevention also

 

There's lots of ways to get rid of the squeak. They make pads or you can use bicycle innertube strips between leafs.
Lube is your friend!

That said, I have the icon rxt and really like them.

Hindsight...Chevy 63 swap



Edit: what he said

 

I want 63s lmao

 

And shock relocation for some 7100s

 

That too

 

It's looking like, as of right now, I'll be taking a trip up to Tree House on Sunday with my neighbor.

Time to load up!

 

Pulling the trigger on the 6112/5160 kit.

once i get to the approved number of posts ill post up the rear leafs i decide to not use.
