    @OZ-T as you seem to be the self proclaimed expert on Dakars, can you weigh in on which leaf to remove?

    Question here. Why are people removing the third overload leaf? Why is ARB selling the leaf packs and then telling people to remove a leaf? Wouldn't it make sense for them to sell the pack with the leaf already removed if it's an issue?

    It's not an issue for most. Some people just want a little less lift. I'm only hoping for 2" front and back so I'm using 884s instead of 885s and removing a leaf to maintain factory rake.

    You don't have to remove it any more than you have to install the
    $82 d29xl leaf spring
    d29xl Dakar AAL , it's just a way to adjust the leaf pack to your end use
