    Sounds like your at max lift. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but you might wanna back those off. What was the ride height on install? Nice choice on the tire.

    Ride heigh at install was 22". I cranked them to 23"

    May have gone too high. I need to figure out a way to lower my rear. TW has me rethinking all my shit. Stayed up last night reading about suspension

    The long overload can come out without changing the capacity. It will drop. It thickness.

    How does that not change the carrying capacity?

    It's basically a spacer. 3rd from top. Will soften the ride which lowers capacity.

    This is what I got from Headstrong.


    The OME Dakar leaf pack will provide quite a bit more hauling, towing, and off-road capability over the stock pack. However it will be stiff since you are adding more steel out back but that is the give-and-take in order gain the additional capabilities. The OME pack will provide approx. 2.75”-3” of rear lift over stock. You will maintain the rake of the truck as well. If the overall rear height is too much for you or the ride seems too stiff you can remove the 3rd leaf. Doing so will decrease the spring rate by 15% and the overall height by 15mm. You can also remove the long overload and that will decrease the lift height by ½” but not affect the spring rate. If you feel you need more from the pack there is the OME add-a-leaf which can be added in and that will give you around 15mm of increased lift height and 15% more spring rate. It is not recommended to run the aal just for extra height since the ride from it can be rather stiff if the extra weight is not present.

    Did that affect your tires at all Juforrest? My cab mounts actually cut at my tires a little bit before I did mine.

    Got the passenger side done and ran out of weld wire..... :frusty:

    Came out good. It had me a little nervous there for a little while. The Insain fab CMC requires you to cut a lot of the mount away. Seems rock solid now though. Gotta get some more wire and finish burning in the passengers side and get to cutting away at the driver side. I was supposed to get the tires installed tomorrow but I may wait until I finish the CMC and make any adjustments to my suspension. I think I'm going to drop the front down a bit and also remove an overload leaf from the rear.
