FYI - OME Dakar Springs w/ extra leaf load capacity (pic)

This is a pic of my 04 Double Cab with some weight on it. Some of you may be interested in the load capacity of the OME Dakar springs.

In the pic is my 2005 Yamaha FZ1 on a Joe Hauler. The bike is 500# wet weight. I don't know what my Leer shell weighs. The Marlin Crawler rear bumper is 60-70#, the BAMF Sliders are around 110#, the ARB Bumper with the Warn M8000 is probable another 140#. Truck also has Demello frame reinforcement plates. Tires are 255/85-16's on '06 Tundra rims. The truck is sitting on a very slight downhill incline.




Overall, with the OME extra leaf, I got about a 4" lift on my truck over worn out stock springs. I've been running this setup for 3 years and they haven't sagged out. I would think my truck is on the heavy side being a double cab with a shell, bumpers, and sliders, and a winch. I have been very happy with this setup and think my truck rides pretty darn good, even with an empty bed.

BTW I'm running Bilstein 7100 SB-10" shocks custom mounted in the stock-like location with a U-Bolt flip kit. The front uses King Coilovers with 600# springs. When it's time to rebuild the Kings, I'm thinking about going with 650# springs and reducing the preload. It's kinda soft right now.

 

Gosh I like those wheels. I should have jumped on the set that was for sale here locally on Craigslist not too long ago. Do you know what years those specific wheels came on?

 

Looking good! I just love how well the Tacomas hold up and somehow look "fresh".

My taco is a 2012 and is outfitted similar to yours (Icon suspension and Pelfreybuilt bumpers, Avid bed rack and sliders, full set of Relentless skid plates. It seems to handle the weight just fine as well.
