Running 35's: Is it painful, and if it is, was it worth it?

We recommend the longer piston version of the King Rear shock with the Dakars, especially if you run the HD pack but dont normally have weight in the rear as you get a lot of rear ride height. Most people dont realize this but their shocks are typically their limiting strap haha, so the less it is limited the better.

I'm still iffy on the HD pack. May be a while before I put a rear bumper on if at all do to the blind spot monitoring. Without that I'll be running 90% with 100 lbs, and on trips with 500. So I don't want to run around town with my ass in the air like I'm looking for a friend to park something in it.

I just found this out too. Picked up the rears yesterday with extended travel and my buddy highly recommended getting them specd for Dakars. I’ll be getting that done at DSM since that’s where I bought them from.

Funny I remember you asking me on Saturday if the kings EXT would fit with the OME leaf pack. After doing some research on multiple forums and having my buddy tell me I had to, I found out that it is highly recommended that you get them specd for Dakars.

I called them the other day. Said it would take 7-10 days and I can't remember if it was $140 or $145 each.

Wow really? They did mine for free and took them half a day to do.

You must have some serious friends there. Could it be because you bought your shocks there? I did not get mine there. But yeah, I was kinda surprised at the lead time and the cost. Especially now with what you said.
