Wheelers 8 pack leaf spring?

Anyone running them??? Pros/cons/? My dakars we're too stiff, even after removing third leaf!! Seems deaver j66 are too soft, hopefully these will be just right!!

 

IIRC, those are made by Alcan for Wheeler's...fwiw.

 

That's what I'd heard!! Had called alcan awhile back, their custom springs would be roughly the same cost wise. I think I'll be happy!

 

Just a FYI if you didn't already know; Wheeler''s also offers an extra leaf for that set.

 

Yeah, saw that!! Nice to have that flexibility down the road if needed!

 

Thank you for your business, Nic! We definitely appreciate it very much.

 

Your little bag of treats always gets me back on track during the hardest parts!!

 

Something to raise the blood sugar levels after some hours behind the wrenches.

 

Or cause cavities. (In which, we apologize )

 

Thought about this spring for my reg cab.

Waiting to see this install.

 

Will post pics and measurements! No cavities yet!!!

 

I put the 8-leaf pack in my 2012 DCLB right after I bought the truck. Added the extra leaf last summer when I put a shell on the back. No regrets.

 

Can we see some pictures please

 

Got some random ones on my phone. None really of the leaf pack.

 

Nice, what size tires you running?

 

285s

 

Looks real nice!! Hey when you installed them, which one is pass/driver??? On site said specific, but no markings on springs. One looks a little higher arched, but would have to measure to be sure! Sent an email to @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc , will hear from them Monday, also tagging here as well!

 

Not sure they were marked passenger or driver. I adjusted coilovers to account for the lean.

 

How was the ride compared to what u had before, what did you have before?? What shocks did u pair them up with btw?? I think your the only person I know of that has them!!

 

I ordered the lift parts before I officially bought the truck, so I don't really recall how it rode with the stock suspension. The 8-leaf pack rode great- never gave it a second thought or had any regrets there. The 9 leafs are great with the shell on but kinda stiff with the shell off.

I've got Bilstein 5100s in the back but there are some 12" travel Kings waiting in the garage.
