OME Dakar's didn't level the rear!

just installed some Dakar's with the dxl extra leaf. still using stock shackles. looked a little odd when i noticed the right side of the bed was higher than the left side. i'm pretty sure the aal is installed correctly, since you can't mess that up, lol. but just wondering if this is normal? what can i do to correct it? i measured the center of the spring's from bump stop to top of the frame stop, right side is like 1/2 inch higher than the left, wtf.

i have the full OME up front too, nitro shock's with 882's, as well as nitro shocks in the rear.

 

May wanna wait a while for them to settle I imagine they'll settle almost evenly but one side may a little more than the other

 

Pretty certain 1st Gen Dakars are side specific , are they on the correct sides ?

 

hmm. i'm not sure. i'll have to take a look at them again.

 

Yes they are side specific and also it could be dude to the taco lean. Mine is .5" lower on the driver side than the passenger side. You could put a 1/4" spacer on the driver side coil to help compensate for the lean.

 

They are side specific, pretty sure "a" is driver and "b" is passenger..... To help with taco lean.

 

Not uncommon for the truck to have some "Taco Lean" even after changing the suspension. This can show up with all different kinds of springs.

 

uhhh... it leans on the driver side. Doesn't the spacer belong on the passenger side?
Edit: oops, my ds/ps are confused. lol
I have spacers on both so I need to "remove" the passenger side.

 

Mine are the same way. After a year and probably 15k miles the driver side still sits about a half inch lower. It was much more prominent at the initial install tough.

 

Thanks for the help all. i'm a dumbass. the packs are labled, actually sharpie painted A / B on the rear military wrapped and i had the sides on wrong. Swapped them out and now the rear looks about even.

 

Glad you figured it out OP. You may still have a slight lean especially after a fuel fill up. My springs are broken in and with a full tank there is a slight .5" lean on the driver side. I could do the 1/4" spacer on the front but it's not that noticeable anyway. Post some pics of your new setup
