Deaver L84 +3 springs

I have Deaver +3, grease eyelets, and have no squeaks. Rear shackles (mine from SVC) are a great upgrade since you are going to be replacing springs.

What benefits do the aftermarket shackles provide?

Stronger and more flex without any binding on rubber bushings.

Got the springs installed this morning. Pretty hard to overstate the immediate improvement. Axle wrap basically gone, back end doesn't try to go sideways when hitting bumps on a long corner on the freeway. Ultimately delivers what you would expect for spending $1000+ on the rear suspension.

After 50 miles of driving the hub to fender measurement is ~1.5" over stock, and 1" rake with my Eibachs on the front. I'll get some photos up soon, I feel like my SCAB looks just right now with the slight lift over the factory suspension.

A big shout-out goes to @Rick@FreedomMotorsports , he patiently answered all my newbie questions and guided me to the right setup. Second time I've bought from him, it won't be my last!

Deaver's I suppose and if so, what size +2, +3, standard or HD?

Thanks for the shout-out, appreciate it!
Glad everything went smooth with you getting your raptor dialed in.
Questions are just part of the business, no problem.

Thanks,
Rick

+3 standard, not hd. I have the OEM Ford trifold hard tonneau cover and a hitch-mounted bike rack on the truck all the time, probably ~100lbs. I would have opted for the HD spring if I were routinely carrying another 100lbs. or so, but I only do half a dozen or so times a year. I'll report back on this thread from time to time about the springs settling, my guess is they'll come down ~1/2".
