So Alcans made to handle this load look to be about $1100 plus a couple hundred in shipping and an 8 week turn around. I wish I would’ve went that way from the start, I’ve got 600 dollars worth of OME springs on there with no miles on them.

You could probably sell those OME springs pretty easily, when I switched from OME springs I sold them on here for decent price. Had several thousand miles on them too

Alcans are pricey but they are great springs

The dog box is built to be removable, but the trucks primary purpose is as a hunting platform. I expect at least 7-8 months out of the year it will be loaded for dogs. If I can pull the box and use it around town during the summer that would be great for keeping it running well, but the ride quality with the dog boxes off doesn’t matter to me.
As for why the need for level, well I put a lot of time into building this thing so it’s not worth overlooking these final details.

I just looked up this super spring, so it’s essentially a very big AAL that you would put on in addition to whatever leaf pack you already have. Can it be used with aftermarket spring packs?
It’s an interesting option if it would work here, because if I go with the custom springs I’ll be pulling these Dakar’s and u-bolts off with essentially 20miles on them.
The height unloaded is perfectly fine right now, so if these super spring AALs would just allow me to keep level under load with the dakar’s that would be fine.

You have a brand new Dakar leaf pack with AAL?

Your rear end is only going to sit lower as the leaf pack settles.
