Time for a New Leaf Pack

Nice rig! I like how your awning is mounted to your shell, have been trying to figure a good way to do that too.

Anyways, I’m curious, did you put some Daystars or other cradles on the springs for the airbags or bolt them? Just curious how much flex they actually do take out when bolted down on both ends... I was discouraged to try them due to the flex issue, and wondered about cradles until I saw the post about a damaged airbag due to being pinched by a cradle. So due to that worry, I went with the Dakar AAL instead.

I do appreciate and want to leave a thank you to what is being suggested by @Blackout14 here too, I just went out to look, and see how I can get more slack in my lines by opening the brackets. Looks like it will work well, thanks for the idea!

 

I might have to revisit the airbags, was concerned about all that. Thanks!

 

you have a recommendation for such a shock? Currently have 5100's which I believe is only something like 6.5" travel. But you may have been replying to OP

I love my Alcan's, especially since they custom make them based on your requirements and needs, I have 3" of lift, Truck handles great, no squeaks etc...

 

@Blackout14 do you think the icon 2.0 are fine for my application? i was told by a vendor that they're aren't designed to handle heavier loads even when paired with appropriate leaf pack
