Still sagging rear after full dakar leaf HD install

Yeah, just start with the dakar AAL, that's what most people run and seams to be good enough for most guys.
After you add the AAL if you still have problems cross that bridge when you get to it.

Do you have a photo, because doesn't look like it's sagging very much.

The dakars will give around a 3" lift but sag about an inch with a load.
Do you have the 7 leaf pack. I think there is a 6 leaf pack available.

So add the AAL will give you a 8 leaf pack and another inch of lift.

If it's not sagging but you just want more lift maybe get the 3 leaf AAL and add 2 or 3 leafs to get some progressive lift.

 

OP I had the same issues with my Dakars - went with @Blackout14 heavy duty pack and its doing GREAT.

I have the following on the back of the truck (DCSB)
Bed Slide
100lbs of tools
Prinsu Roof Rack w/ a full length rifle case full of powertools and a sledge hammer/10 gallons of gas/4 Tred Pro's
SOS High Clearance rear bumper with dual swings, tire carrier, bedside protection, hitch setup
Leer 180x Midrise Cap
Front Runner Cab Rack with a Tepui RTT over the cab of the truck

The dakars were great before the addition of the bedslide and rear bumper, after though I couldn't drive down the street without bouncing off the bump stops so it was time to upgrade. I got about 2 more inches of lift from the the new leaf packs and that's even with about 200 additional pounds in the back of the truck from camping this weekend.

Over weight violations are no joke in a commercial vehicle, as it can be a potential risk to roads and bridges. Can't see this being such a big deal in a small pick up truck. They can put you out of service, until load is separated to another truck.

 

Anyone know where to buy the isolator pads that go in the OME AAL? The little yellow things.

 

Yours start squeaking?

 

When I added the AAL it didn’t come with the round pads that go in the holes at each end. And yes, they squeak like a bitch. They have since the day I got them.

 

You got real unlucky with yours. Mine didn’t come with the pads either but haven’t squeaked a bit

 

Seriously? Mine are horrible. They make a creaking that I can feel in my feet when I go over large bumps.

 

Oh that blows. Yeah my new ones are silent, and my old ones I had for over a year were also silent.

 

Yup. Every time I do this procedure, it goes away for a bit but always comes back. Especially if they get muddy.

 

Do you have the old version? Ome updated their leaf pack and add more anti friction pads an stuff that got rid of the squeaks

 

Nope. New version. EL096R with an extra OME AAL.

 

Their advertising might say they got rid of squeaks but they definitely still squeak and creak, especially when dirty.

 

Mine sound like my truck is falling apart.
I spray them with fluid film whenever I can cause they are so bad.

 

Mine get pretty bad after going through any mud or muddy water. Pressure washing and fluid film solves it for a little bit but it’s always a temporary fix. I have all the little yellow silencer pads also.

 

I have the yellow pads on the main leaf pack but I need an additional set for the AAL. Do you know where to purchase them?

 

My AAL asset came with them. I think I remember someone getting them sent free from ARB since they were supposed to be included with the purchase of the AALs.

 

Holy smokes. Talk about heavy weight in the back. I think mine is nowhere near as heavy as your setup.

 

Thanks for all the response guys. Keep them coming. Sorry it took me awhile to come back to this post. HOlidays getting in the way i guess. Anyway, in posting a pic of the leaf pack. I do have airbag in there which i have been running for three years. Its not currently inflated as i am looking for a new cradle mounts for my daystar cradles. The one that came with the airbag is already bent. The way they designed it where half of the cradle is hanging off the mount boggles me. And besides with the new thick dakar hd pack, the support arm of the mount where it rest on the differential is too short now.
