    New. On the first gen I had, the new Dakars arrived with a significant amount of mill scale and rust/flaking paint between the leaves, and all the plastic spring retaining clip liners were broken, so I ended up refurbishing them when "new." :rolleyes: I did not chamfer those, but I did grind and then moly lube between leaves, and removed the pucks. I never heard a squeak out of them in a few years. Also had the OME greasable schackles/bushings in the rear.

    So with this 2nd gen set, I was prepared for the worst, but they were in far better shape. Not sure if you caught this, but I am pulling one overload, and inserting the AAL to suit my needs for loads and towing, but still having good flex/droop. Taking them apart and chamfering is pretty fast. Cleaning off the random smeared globs of grease from the factory (uselessly and inconsistently placed) is the most time consuming part of the process.

    Good info, thank you. I did notice the changes you're making, I hope everything works out for you as planned :thumbsup:

    I don't notice any leaf noises in my expo pack right now (or I just ignore them :notsure: ) but I've been considering tearing them apart and giving them a once-over so I'll have to keep this in mind. I feel like it's the little things like this that always seem the make the biggest differences :thumbsup:

    I was just about to ask if he could tell me which was correct:

    anal-retentive
    or
    anal retentive

    Nice. ARB could pay more attention to quality and QC, but they fit the bill for my needs, especially with easy mods.

    Looks very good. Never seen salt chunks, except for the salt blocks in cow pastures! I use SPOG on my steaks. Sometimes I melt butter, add garlic, a little rosemary and thyme, refrigerate then put some on the steak in the pan. Never had a bad one yet.
