    I plan to with mine. I got the Wheelers 5 lead pack and I kept my old OEM leaves. Ima try to add one or two of the longer ones and remove the overload. May have to cut them down some, but I'll figure that out when I get to that point.

    Nice setup...esp the color. ;)

    Hope you like the lift...the KO2's are fantastic tires, very grippy.

    I recently installed 881's w/ spacer....

    Personally I thought it wouldnt be that bad to bottle jack the coil assembly in, letting the stock coil down and out was easy enough.

    But after a few sketchy tries and not getting all that close I decided it was easier, safer, and faster to just rent (for free/deposit) some auto store compressors and go that route.

    Thanks, when I found a black double cab in such good condition it felt like I struck gold! My old suspension was so worn out...installing the OME kit drastically changed the ride. Extremely happy with it.

    So far I'm impressed with the KO2's. Be sure to post some pics of your black beauty once you get the lift on.

    So here are my springs when loaded for camping and wheeling. I think I need to address this.

    Mine usually ride on the overload for camping. Nothing out of the ordinary for Dakars as far as I can tell.

    Have you guys weighed your trucks? I am curious how much you weigh when you got negative arch like that.

    Negative. I'd love to though. I don't think a weigh station would let me, but I've never tried. :notsure:

    I'd guess I have 150 lbs from my shell, another 100-200lbs of wood, and probably another couple hundred lbs of beer alone....jk, but at least one hundred more pounds of all my gear for the weekend. Plus the RTT which isn't sitting directly above the springs but still affects it.

    Take a load of garbage to the landfill, doesn't have to be much, and you get weighed coming and going for a small disposal fee.

    Or go to a metal scrapyard. Then they pay you and weigh you

    Okay, some people were telling me that I could cause serious shock damage by doing that. I have the 5100's that are rated to 2.5 or 3 inches of lift

    They don't have much room left to go up so I could see bottoming out a shock. But I don't really drive that fast offroad, and plenty of wiggle room for street driving.
