[QUOTE="Zeusmotorworks, post: 2041586, member: 22315"] If it wasn't clear, 1" lift would be the Deaver +3 springs and you would need to add bump strike plates. Now for the type of Deaver spring. You have a choice of SD or HD. SD is around if not the same spring rate as stock. However, Deavers use more leafs for a more progressive spring. People say (I don't know, I have HDs) that they ride SMOOTHER than stock. HD is supposed to give you an extra 450 lbs of weight capacity over OE. So of course they are a "stiffer" spring rate than stock. However, those are also thinner 11 leaf and more progressive vs. the thicker 4 leaf OE springs. So many don't notice the difference in ride. Some DO. [/QUOTE]
