The Newest OME Dakar Leaf Packs

That's what YouTube and Headstrong off-road said about mine

 

OME doesn't make them specifically to account for Toyota lean, but they mark them (+) (0) and (-) to represent over, right on and under spec. So you're supposed to put the (+) or (0) on the driver's side and the (-) on the passenger.

It’s up to the distributor or shop to mix them for you since they are sold individually by OME. Several people have mixed packs with some uneven results.

 

Ope. Maybe I got lucky with a "+" and "-" pack being matched

 

mine was matched also.

 

Bummer, just got my second set and now I have 2 - O packs. So technically they are matching, but they aren't going to account for the heavier drivers side. I guess we'll see if it's going to make a difference because I'm not sending them back and waiting another month to get a new set.

 

I didn’t know what it meant when I installed them. I have it on the wrong side and there no noticeable difference

 

I know a guy that did that on his second gen. Couldn't tell a difference so we left them

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road [OP]
Thanks for the great tech info! I'm going to buy all my suspension parts from you guys from now on
Putting an order in for OME leaf springs right now

 

My HD OME leaf packs are squeaking so bad I am loosing my mind. Also, they look like a W…

 

W is normal for modern leafs. They're still doing their job.

I fluid filmed mine and they don't squeak one bit.

 

I second that the truck will squat a bit resulting in a "W" leaf spring shape. They seem to be working fine for me.

Squeaking? I greased my springs when new and zero squeak (or rust). You might be able to pressure wash the springs, then grease them. To get the grease to flow in between the leafs I warmed mine with a propane torch. Careful not to heat them too much, just enough to coax the grease to flow between the springs.

 

The handheld blue bottle torch seems to work really well for that application. I just put mine on a list and let the suspension group so it stretched everything out a bit before spraying lol

 

Thank you! What kind of grease works best? Or just fluid film?

 

I just use fluid film. Reapply every September ish, haven't had any squeaks in 4 winters. And I wheel the crap outa this truck and used to have to drive in anytime there was a storm, snow, ice, flooding etc for DoT work.


Still quiet. Lol

 

Hey friends! Not sure if it’s already been asked somewhere before but I’m looking for guidance. Years ago I bought the “medium duty” leaf pack but I have added quite a bit of weight over the last few years. Does OME sell an add a leaf that I can install to turn my pack into a “heavy duty” pack?

 

Yes... Yes they do.
