    A little a this, a little a that...
    I'm ordering up my new suspension and getting OME dakars for the rear. I called up Wheelers and they suggested pairing the spec spring rates. In other words, they typically ship two leafs, both with +'s or both with -'s or both with o's. I've read here that there should be a + and a - to compensate for the Taco lean.

    I'm looking to get some forum opinions. I'd like the truck to sit level when done. Should i get matched springs or mismatched?

    Thanks in advance for any input.

    There doesn't need to be a + and a - , just if you get a mismatched pair you would want to put the highest rated one on the driver's side

    Good to know, thanks for the help. I'll be sure to post numbers in your measurement thread when done.
