Alright thanks for the advice! Forgot to add to factor. i need flex for offroding and it cant effect the hauling.. i often am towing and have a few toys in the back.
now what would you recommend?
differential drop? ya-no?

 

Sounds like, depending on how much weight, your decision will come down to either the Dakars or, for heavier items, the AllPro Expedition pack. I carry my 500+ lb motorcycle in the back so the Dakars work well for me.

I have no clue about a diff drop as I don't have one.

 

I'm looking at the dakars, I put dirtbikes back there about 500-550 lbs and the occasional concrete load, and trailer haul. I am wanting to remove one leaf from the pack because I don't want the full rear lift, how would that effect load capability?

 

One or the other man - soft springs for flex or stiff springs for load capacity.

You've already selected quite stiff coils for the front, might as well match em with stiff leafs in the back - front back articulation mismatch is not a good thing.

 

If you go with the dakars and want to carry a load in the back you aren't going to want to remove any leafs. The dakars are known for not having a very good load capacity unless you do the hd add-a-leaf to them. I got the full dakar pack and the hd add a leaf after reading box-rocket's build. I am glad I did. With drawers, a shell, camping gear, and RTT the back would be squatting big time If I hadn't gone this route.

 

thanks guys!
Dang i got a problem, because during the summer i am hauling a couple jet skiis and some toy in the back.
but i love hitting the trails at higher speeds, little rock climbing, and hill climbing...
I need to be able to put at least 850lb in the bed and not squat/rub tires. +monthly hauling with that 800lbs

now wouldn't getting a aal and new leaf pack cancel one another out? it would be a stiff leaf pack.?

Ya, i should just go with a stiffer leaf pack rear suspension too match the coil-overs.
what do you guys think?

 

This guy is totally right! Building the rear is more important. But is there any shock hoops in order to put a longer shock in the rear?

 

alright i got it all ordered...
got a leaf pack
