    If you don't have much weight up front it will be super stiff. I'm at 20mm with only skids and sliders no bumper yet. I'm at the second to lowest compression setting and it's still pretty dam stiff. It cycles well off-road though. I am considering pulling them and lowering the preload to 12mm.

    Another question... The Dakars that come with this kit, are they set up for mid load, and you take a leaf out for light load? Or do they come light load, and you need to buy the mid load spring? Wondering cause I do have a topper and rack. Also have a few things in the bed at most times.

    Thanks!

    "The OME Dakar leaf pack will provide quite a bit more hauling, towing, and off-road capability over the stock pack. However it will be stiff since you are adding more steel out back but that is the give-and-take in order gain the additional capabilities. The OME pack will provide approx. 2.75”-3” of rear lift over stock. You will maintain the rake of the truck as well. If the overall rear height is too much for you or the ride seems too stiff you can remove the 3rd leaf. Doing so will decrease the spring rate by 15% and the overall height by 15mm. You can also remove the long overload and that will decrease the lift height by ½” but not affect the spring rate. If you feel you need more from the pack there is the OME add-a-leaf which can be added in and that will give you around 15mm of increased lift height and 15% more spring rate. It is not recommended to run the aal just for extra height since the ride from it can be rather stiff if the extra weight is not present." This was what I got from Headstrong off-road unfortunately it doesn't have weight capacity. I would suggest some google-fu.
