    I'm in the process of installing a full OME suspension package in my 2011 Taco, and have a question about the Dakar leaf spring packs.

    Now, I'm pretty sure I understand what the arrows mean ;) but I have no idea what's up with the "I" or "L" on the bottom spring or the "O" on the top spring in the picture above. Any help???



    Here's the part numbers for reference:

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    O means the spring is slightly over spec and the - means slightly under spec. Use the O spring on the drivers side to combat leaning due to battery weight and fuel tank.

    The zero is at spec and the “-“ is slightly below spec, so put the zero on the drivers side and the minus on the passenger side.

    There are 3 ratings for these springs: +, 0, -

    0 means they are in spec. + means they are a little higher rate than spec. - means they are a little lower rate than spec.

    Put the 0 pack on your driver side, and the - pack on the passenger side to help balance out your Tacoma lean.

    they seem to be the same as far as the EL095R usually the difference is RA for driver and Rb for pass i believe but with the negative and circle i believe the negative is for the pass side

    My HD kit showed up with 0 on both packs. It hasn't settled a bit, and I drive around with about 500 pounds in the back at all times. If I ever break into the rear end, I'll pull out the second overload - it's a 1/2" thick piece of steel that doesn't need to be in there. I wouldn't mind bringing the rear down 1/2".
