    Hey fellas, need help real quick. Just installed medium duty dakars, should both leaves have the same symbol by the arrow? I have one plus and one O....these are the newer model EL095R.

    If I remember right, + for drivers side, o for passenger side. The + is a little taller, to correct for Taco lean.

    Friends don’t let friends drive stock
    I asked the same question and this is the answer I got from Marie @ headstrong off road.
    “ The Dakars for the 05+ Tacomas are not left/right side specific. 95-04 is and has an A and a B side.

    The yellow markings on each of the leafs indicate where the leafs fell during their testing process. A 0 indicates in spec, the + is slightly above spec, and the – is slightly below spec. There are varying degrees within each + and – category. Since this is something that is internal with ARB they do not label their leafs left/right side specific nor can we order the 0’s, +’s, or –‘s specifically. Since this is the case we usually recommend our customers to place the higher of the ratings on the driver’s side. This can help toaccommodate for the additional weight that is on that side of the truck.“

    Thanks guys, I got lucky and put the plus on the drivers side. It does sit a little higher but nothing too drastic.
