    Definitely not wheel balance. It's the driveline. You feel it and can hear it moaning at about 20mph

    Has anyone installed these that already had the Dakar 2" leaf pack and either used or didn't use a 2" spacer?. I have the Dakar leaf pack and installed my airbags with the daystar cradle and a 2" spacer to compensate for the lift and I'm not sure I like it. First of all it seems to squish the bags more then its supposed to, also I have tried it with 5, 10 and 20 PSI (no added weight or towing) and everytime I hit a bump or pot hole it feels like it holes or bottoms out pretty hard. Anyone have pictures or experience this as well?

    No spacer on the bags with my Dakars. I've never felt like they bottom out - even when i jumped the truck. There's always 500 pounds in the bed and I only have more than 5 pounds of air in the bags if I'm towing a heavy load.

    Ditch the spacer.

    Mine bottoms out often. I hate it. I am only running a 1 inch block in the rear for lift. No spacers on the cradles. I have tried more psi and it helps a bit but then I get the stupid carrier bearing shimmy.

    The spacers are for lifted applications without cradles, so you don't over flex the bags.

    Maybe I should try just ditching the cradles. See if it makes it better. I don't run a spacer with mine. I went with the cradles so I could flex without worrying about over stretching the bags.

    Those shouldn't be the problem then.

    When I first lifted the front 2.5", I leveled the rear with air in the bags. I blew out the stock rear shocks pretty quickly. I put on OME N182s and they mellowed out the ride nicely. When I put on my Dakars, I went with B110s (5100s for DB lifts).

    I was all set to install my airbags and cradles but now I'm bummed I need to fab up some spacers. Really not keen on that as I have zero tools for it and hate trying to rope someone into helping me.

    What do you need spacers for? To lift the cradles? And how much lift you need?
