    I dunno. My truck has the taco lean and it doesn't bother me. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.

    Love it! Looks good. :thumbsup:

    Could throw a small spacer on depending how much difference in height there is.

    Was it installed on the right side? Mine doesn't have any lean that I have noticed

    Thanks!

    I didn't want to take a chance on getting vibes so I installed 3° pinion shims from Wheelers on my dakars prior to installation. I had a shudder develop after the installation that would come on at 40 mph. I corrected that with the FK29 carrier bearing drop kit and haven't had any more issues. The truck still has a minor vibration at take off like Crom's does but since mine was prevalent when the truck was stock it's not an issue.

    Is it okay to have 886s without any front weight? I'm eventually going to get a new bumper up front and a winch but I was wondering if it would have too much lift without extra weight, my 887s on 90021s sit way lower than they should, only about 1.75 inches of lift with no weight up front. I bottomed out really hard a while ago and while I didn't blow the shock I had always wondered if that could be a factor on why it sits so low

    Ok another question (sorry guys), so when I installed my dakars both sides where positive and recently noticed that it looks lop-sided on drivers side (lower). I thought it was the taco lean or is it? I've read where I could add a non tapered shim to help is this correct?

    Sounds like taco lean and yes you can add a spacer to fix it.

    Spacer in front or a shim on the leaf pack?

    A 10mm spacer should go in front and should fix that
