OME EL111R Net Lift?

I need it replace my rear leafs for my 2012 TRD Sport DCLB after around 120k. I am going to purchase the OME EL111R but I’ve seen a ton of different answers that they give you 1.5”,2.0”,2.75” of net lift over stock while unloaded.

Does anyone have any input on these? Or first hand experience?

 

Had the same leafs on my 2013 DCLB...

First of all, I strongly recommend other leafs. Dakars are shit and arguably the worst leafs you could put on a Tacoma. I hated them so much and couldn't wait to get rid of mine. Went with Deaver and am mad that I didn't do that originally.

To answer your question... They are all made slightly different (all leafs are, they usually have a + or - on them to tell you if they are over or under spec), so it will be different on each truck. But don't count on more than 1". They will give about 1.5" - 1.75" at first, that's with an empty box. But they will ride stiff as hell with no weight in the box (yes, even the "medium" duty ones. It's the same HD pack just with 1 leaf removed). When you add weight to keep the tires from leaving the ground on bumps, they lose a good 1/2" - 3/4" right away. And then they go flat very quickly and you lose even more lift. I had mine for about 5 years and they were negative arch when I replaced them. Had to stick a 1" block in just to keep the truck level.

Dakars aren't even that cheap anymore. Look into Icon RXT. Or, if you can afford a bit more, just go with Deaver U402. They are so much better it's not even funny.
