    I have Dakar mediums (EL095) with an added leaf (
    $55 EL46XL ARB XL to Suit El095R 96R
    EL46XL). So basically Dakar heavies (EL096). I have a 3rd gen and fully loaded I'm 500-600 pounds in the rear of extra weight so having heavies makes sense but the rear still droops slightly. Should I add another leaf and increase the spring rate even though I technically don't pass the recommended weight of the heavies (not to mention I'm not fully loaded all the time)? Do I need a 3in pack? I plan to wheel this thing a lot so blocks don't make sense to me but idk the etiquette on that. I run 32in tires so I don't get how dudes run 33in tires with these 2in leaf packs.
