    It makes a huge difference! If you're not airing down, I'd say chains are worth it then. At my work the vehicle mechanics seem to believe that every vehicle should be at the max tire pressure on the sidewall. Any little bit of snow and everyone is sliding around. I set my own pressure and have no problem going further than they are and they are chained up at +65psi.

    I just don’t want to get out of my vehicle at 2 in the morning to mess with my tires.

    I’ve gotten pretty good at finding my limits and knowing when to turn around too haha, no getting stuck and no chains.

    Good turn around time. Keeps you in the loop with your rebuild. Takes pics of everything. Return your diff properly packaged. Get a customer for life.

    I actually happened to weigh my truck today, taking my old leaf springs to a recycler. Empty bed, no spare tire, stock bumpers still, 3/4 tank of gas and me in it it was 3940. Take me out and it was 3725. '99 ext cab V6 5spd 4x4.

    Installed my Dakar leafs this morning.

    Glad I ordered the relocation plates at the same time. Wheels are set just right now. I gained about 3 1/2" on the driver side and 4" on the passenger side. Should settle down some. I don't have the time to go get a bunch of sand bags like I've seen suggested since I have a road trip I'm going on tomorrow. Should be around 600 miles round trip and I might be able to get some wheeling in as well so that should help the leafs settle a little faster. The ride is a ton better than with the stock springs. I have a set of Fox 2.0 IFP shocks on order that are 26.85" fully extended since the Bilstein 5100s under it now are too short and don't allow full droop. Hopefully I got the right length Fox shocks.

    I was gonna say, weight plays a huge role. Yeah your trck was way quicker than I expected but it was very light compared to what I amm used to. Under 5K wasn't it? Like 4875 or something? I am guessing Igor is 5-700 lbs heavier than you.

    Only for now. I couldn't figure out how to remove the stock ones but they would have been too short anyhow. Looking at Durobumps now but they don't look like they will work with the relocation plates I have on the Dakars without some modification. Researching all that now as I know other people have done it already.

    If I didn't use the relocation plates, yes. With the plates, it puts the center leaf bolt very close to the front U-bolt and will require modification to work. Might be easier to modify with a u-bolt flip kit.

    Ordered a set of Wheelers Superbumps, they look like they will work the best with my setup, as in easiest to modify so they fit.

    Yeah the superbumps have the mounting hole in the center of the plate so you'll have to drill a new one to mount them with that axle relocation. You'll like the superbumps though, I'm really happy with mine
