    Who’s put on Dobinson rear leaf packs and what did you think? How are they holding up? Sag?

    I have them and they feel night and day better than the factory plus an add a leaf that I was running.

    I did the full 3” package. Ride quality is great on the highway, gravel & fire/logging roads. No complaint.

    There are a few people who have done the full upgrade in the above post.

    I was thinking of going with the medium duty 3+2 pack since I mostly drive highway and don’t load it up a a lot.

    Looks like $700!for just the leaf packs. Almost 1k for everything, are they worth it?

    Just got the 111's, full poly kit with greasable pin, along with a ubolt flip and wheelers bumps. Was sagging pretty bad with a topper and only an add-a-leaf.

    Going to be a little while before I install though. Good to hear everyone is happy with them.
