Dakar Rear Leaf Springs

The Old Man Emu Dakar rear leaf springs are advanced suspension components designed specifically to improve the ride quality and load-bearing performance of 1998-2004 Toyota Tacoma trucks. These leaf packs incorporate a two-stage design that provides a comfortable ride when unladen, while the secondary stage engages to support heavy payloads. Built for durability, the leaves are draw-tapered and diamond-cut to distribute load effectively, with shot-peened tension sides to significantly extend the component's service life. Technically, these springs include regreasable nylon interleaf liners and a graphite coating to reduce friction, along with a flat axle seat area for a secure, stress-reducing mount. Each pack is fully scragged to set the spring and load-tested to ensure it meets strict specifications. Military wraps are also integrated into the design to provide an additional measure of safety. Please note that installing these leaf springs requires specific mechanical considerations. Longer rear shocks are necessary to accommodate the increased lift height and suspension travel. Additionally, some installations may require an exhaust tailpipe relocation kit. While designed for broad compatibility within the 1998-2004 Tacoma platform, please verify your specific vehicle configuration for proper fitment, as lift height results can vary on standard cab models.
