ARE DEAVER LEAF SPRINGS worth it ?

[Hankfd]

So I have a 2020 on order should get it by mid February hopefully . I called a local speed shop on Long Island where I live about what it would cost to install a set of deavers. His words to me was “there’s nothing wrong with the stock leaves your wasting your money I have many customers with Raptors and none of them have any complaints about the stock leaves. And he’s like hey we’re a custom suspension shop I should be trying to sell you something but I really don’t think you need them. Don’t believe what you read on the internet it’s bs. Don’t believe the hype. These were his words so now I’m totally confused on whether to order them or not. Anyone have some thoughts for me?

That's pretty strong. Might be better, but it certainly is not a must. 36k on mine, stock springs and it hasn't bounced me off into the bar ditch or off the side of a bridge, once.

32 psi all the way around. The side to side happens sometimes, but it's really not that bad. Having driven duallies for the most part, I may be jaded though. Relatively speaking, it is worse than some trucks but not nearly as bad as others.

If you simply have the truck on order, it would make sense to drive it and judge for yourself before you drop the $$.

go to any off road shop in california or arizona you’ll get a different response, the stock springs are light and cheap, deavers are better but heavier and more expensive

Aftermarket leafs tend to rust like hell. I am not sure how ford treats their oem leafs but there is barely any rust on them.

Rmsoffroad.com this was the place seems like a legit place I was surprised by his response, not what I was expecting. Probably just drive it stock for a bit then make a decision.

Based on their raptor builds, I wouldn’t consider them an expert on Raptors nor take any of their advice.

32 psi on the street? Doesn’t that kill your MPG? I was running 31/32 after I got off the trail and I felt like I lost power because of the added drag on the hwy

It was my biggest complaint as soon as i got the truck. It was unlivable for me. The Deavers corrected the issue.
