    I've seen a few in person and they don't look like that. That guy either got a bad batch or is loaded to the max haha. They look less arched than Dakars slightly but nowhere near flat. They are a much thicker pack.

    Defconbrix runs them and has quite the load all the time.

    I asked the guy and he said no load and they are brand new springs..

    Yes he runs them and he's said many times they are completely flat if not negative arc, he doesn't like them.. That's why he's getting a custom Alcan pack now. That's what I'd do if I were you, or Chevy 63" swap.

    Chevy 63" swap is labor intensive but so worth it from everything I've read. They are half ton springs so they hold weight the best and flex the best.

    Haha yes. If they were blowing they'd face that way on each side. Since the truck is normally moving forward

    People looking for more storage in their console should grab one of these Grid-It organizers on Amazon.
