Ironman vs Dakars..

I'd go Dakars for sure. The ride with weight in the bed is stellar, I'm disappointed in the iron man leafs, I thought I would get about 2.5" of lift and it's just a hair under 2" but I have about 200 lbs of bed weight.

Edit: spelling

 

If I go with Dakars I will remove a leaf, since I only want 2" of lift. I can't find anywhere that tells what happens to the capacity. I don't think the dakars had much more capacity over IM and that was before you take a leaf out.

 

If you are looking for weight and load capacity, I would look into just doing the "Old Man Doug" mod. Basically taking a few old chevy springs and cutting them down and replacing stock leaves.

get the dakars, I love mine, if you install the whole pack will give you 3" and with a cap looks like 2"..
