leaf pack 4"

Ramsey · Jul 15, 2004

my leafs are sagging kinda bad and i added shackles to get height back, but i know it will wear them down even more. i am looking for some leaf packs that will net about 3.5-4.5" after wear in. or should i just go with some dakota leaves? any and all advice/info is appreciated

What does your current pack consist of? All leafs packs will sag evenually, especially when we keep flexing the snot out of them.

stock plus a 3" aal. had for about 6months. i know all will sag eventually.

If your looking for cheap do the Dakota leaves. As far as a reciepe, it depends on your existing leaves.

If new, I suggest BOR, I have RE's and I do think they are long enough.

i am looking for quality but at a reasonable price. if the dakota leaves ride and flex well then i will go that route, not looking for it to ride like a cadillac but just not too rough.

I like the ride of my RE Pack,firm not harsh. I have read BOR's are on the firmer side, due to greater load capacity. As far as Homebrew, like I said, I'm sure you'll zero it in, but it will be trial and error.

I did the dakota packs, seems to flex and ride very well. for the price, they can't be beat. my .02

I have the 4.5" leaf packs and they may have given my 5.5" at the start. Right now I have the Re4.5, Daystar lift shackle and 1" modified spring perch. I get roughly 7", I have read that the 3.5's can give you really close to 5" at first.

I ditto the Dakota packs...especially if your going to carry anything in the rear or pull a trailer with any tongue weight. I've been very happy w/my set-up.
