    Based on the skids and bumpers I would do 886's. You will probably be in the 2-2.5" range up front.

    For the rear do the full Dakar leaf springs since you will be packing loads in the bed. When the bed is empty the Dakars are a bit stiff. But the rear steel bumper will soften that a little.

    Is the rear steel plate bumper all that it takes to justify getting the Dakar leaf pack?

    So if I was not constantly hauling or towing what would be your recommendation for the rear?

    K

    With an empty bed , no cap and Dakars on my truck there is essentially no travel in the leaf pack , which has nothing to do with the damping from the shocks
