    A couple hundred pounds in the rear would bring it down I bet, Dakars aren't a heavy duty pack so it won't take a big load to make them sag. Mine used to ride the bump stops with a full bed of camping gear and my RTT, and that was with the AALs

    You can test it out by getting a few 50lb sand bags and see how much weight it takes to make it go down 1". Then depending on the weight of the bumper you'll know if that will work or not

    I would try and do it that way rather than removing leafs if it were me, since removing leafs makes the weight carrying capacity go down

    4 run, 2 don't
    You could go outside and take a side picture...takes 5 seconds to figure out the difference you're trying to point out.

    I say that because I think I've seen that picture posted multiple times before already.

    I dropped the truck off for alignment early this morning. I will get an updated picture tomorrow evening when I have the truck back.

    I’ve only ever seen 883s recommended for V6 extra cabs or double cabs. How’s the ride so far?


    I’ve been running 880s, Dakars, and Nitrochargers all around since July 2018. Still a good amount of rake, so I’m in the same boat and starting to consider my options to bring the back end down.

    my ride is really good. I have an aftermarket plate bumper with winch, that’s why wheelers recommended the 883
