    Is the top overload just held in with the centre pin like the regular leaves ?

    I've never looked close enough to how they mount

    Guess you didn't read bjmoose's install "how to" on this site, did ya? He definitely warns you to be careful with them.

    You shouldn't get a full 3" anyway from the Dakars.....more like 2.5".

    If I add a top plate spacer after an alignment would it throw off the alignment enough to have to get realigned? Not sure i have the funds available to get spacers before hand

    You'll probably end up with about 1-1 1/2" of rake

    One thing you might want to consider doing is getting a can of Fluid Film or Rust Cure Formula 3000 and spraying your Dakars and coils down so they are completely covered , especially the Dakars

    Fluid Film or Rust Cure Fomula 3000 work pretty good and easy to install

    ARB claims you shouldn't need it at all with the OME kits but several folks on here ended up having the sway bar hitting the coils. It's pretty random though, not sure if there's ever been a consensus. I put a relocate kit on just in case.
