    I have an opportunity to get a some used Dakar CS047Rs for my 2nd Gen AC 4x4. I know they are discontinued, but do people still run/like these?

    Been on my 2009 DCSB off road since 2015 and they added about 3" lift. Had an ARE shell on.
    After the 3 leaf and then 4 leaf stock springs (free) both sagged out I gave up on stock crap.
    Towing trailers and boats they keep the rear up.
    Got rid of the shell and same lift but bouncier without that 150 lbs back there.
    Run 5100 all around and after 100k+ miles and Ouray/Moab blew the rear shocks so now new.
    Fronts are using stock springs and 5100 on 3rd settings for about 1.5" front lift and over 100k on them.
    I am also fully 3/16" steel skid plated under so 100 lbs plus.
    Yes I would do again but its a truck so if you want smooth not the way to go.

    Front bushings are rubber but rears are the yellow Old Man Emu (OME) ones which I had to replace after lots of boat backing into salt water as they fell apart.
    I have had no issues with squeaking as some have. Maybe my hearing is bad.
