Thank you - would the Deaver +3 also require the Bump Stop Kit? Its pricey at $2600 altogther if thats what Jeff at SVC quoted me yesterday. He was very helpful as I am new to these trucks. I was considering simply trying replacing factory bump with the King 2.5 Bump Stop....Not ideal but would that help somewhat? Don't have the $2600 and as I just made it to 25 years of marriage that may also be the final straw.
The quick and skinny is the Deaver +3 do not require the bump stop kit, however any extra load on the rear of the truck could cause the frame to drop down low enough to need the Bump Stop if you encounter some rough terrain(watched a couple YouTube videos and talked to some friends who have way more knowledge than me).
I always check this forum for the group buys and Chris and Rick from Freedom Motorsports tend to have some good gouge on how to get good pricing for less than what is offered now. I've heard nothing but great things about the SVC team as well so it may be one of those things you might need to save up and drop for. I removed the factory bump stops on mine as well and do not have the Gussets or Bump Stops right now. Any off-roading I do right now is minimal and at lower speeds to prevent frame bending. I don't tow anything either so it really depends on the weight you plan on putting on the back end. Overall the truck is a money pit but worth every dime!
