    With weight or an empty bed?

    Edit: Read up one more post. I carried between 250-400 pounds probably. My hub to fender measurements are somewhere earlier in this thread.

    On 3rd gens you get 2inch of lift with no added weight and on 2nd gen you get 2.75 inches of lift with no added weight. that’s what I read off of headstrong’s website

    Thanks for the feedback. I’m just gonna get the 96r for future loads and if I don’t like the ride I’ll remove a leaf and turn it to a 95r

    Empty. I carry about 300 lbs of tools so it drops it down a little. It rides very smooth with the added weight.

    Interesting. I’ll run out and measure mine in a minute to see what it looks like a few months later. I think I have four TREDS, a steel target and maybe a few pounds of other crap in the bed right now. Hard tonneau adds a few pounds and I’m sure my slider’s weight is distributed to the rear a bit. I do enjoy the ride, loaded or not.

    With 5 people in the truck and gear in the bed the Dakers really shine. I have Kings with adjusters so I have the ability to fine tune the dampening even more.

    Roughly 24” driver side and 24.5” passenger side with a mostly empty truck and 1/3 tank of gas. Probably a little off since my driveway is uneven compacted snow right now so the suspension isn’t completely leveled out.

    Q: on the 95 removing the 3rd leaf, How much lift can I get? 1.5? Also, can I use the same center pin or do I need to buy a different one?
    On the 96, removing the 3rd leaf, how much lift can I get?

    I’m asking because I have Standard Kings with adjustable and the rear is about 1.75 max of lift..I think.

    Running with any weight? On these new packs I'm not quite sure but I think around 15mm less than stated with third leaf removed, with a overload removed around 1/2" less. Also, weight capacity will change and differ depending on which leaf is removed. I believe your standard shocks will be your limiter at full extension. If your removing a leaf the same center pin will work but you might need to shorten it.
    Best advice is to give Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road a call and she'll sort it all out for you. Great pricing as well!

    95R should be fine for that amount of weight. I carry about 300 lbs of tools daily on my 95R with no issues.
