Yikes! Expected 3" Got 4" w / Dakars

Wow, I had my Dakars installed the other day and they are giving me 4" of lift even with my shell. I can barely get into the garage with about 1 finger width of clearance. I'm getting a little vibration when I start off up to about 15 mph. 3 deg axle shims installed also. Here's a before and after pic.

 

Were they + , + ?

 

How many miles you got on them? Mine sat ~4" when first installed but after the ~15 mile drive home had settled down to 3". If you havent driven it around much or over bumps try doing that a bit to see what happens

 

They have a minus sign right by the arrow pointing to the front

 

Maybe about 75 miles on them so far. I always aim for the bumps now to see if they'll settle.

 

Interesting

As above if you just installed them they should settle

 

Looks like your original leafs were sagging pretty good as well.

 

Good point

What's the hub to fender measurement on the rear OP ?

 

Current Hub to Fender Driver side rear is 24 7/8" w/full tank of gas . The shell dropped the rear by about 1/2 inch or so with stock springs (just an estimate)

 

I do like the way the Dakar's feel though. Not as harsh as the stock set up. I have Sway-Away shocks also.

 

Do u have to SAW 2.0's in the back. Also u running the SAW 1" blocks?

 

Yes, Sway Away 2.0s and no blocks

 

I did install the 3 deg shims though, I guess they are contributing to a little of the lift.
