Deaver lifespan

[LekRap]

They say every truck is different I guess. I have heard a lot of guys say though that they still get wheel hop. I basically just don't want to false advertise to people. I hate when people build up an upgrade as "night and day" and "changes the whole truck". Not saying you are doing that, and not saying Deavers aren't a significant upgrade and worth it....just basically saying nothing is perfect and my experience is that there is still wheel hop.

I have had my Deavers +3 for about 3 months and no sagging I would hope that I go a few years before they need any reworking. I also installed new factory shock all around and so the truck feels new 99% of the wheel hop is gone. I was surprised by some wheel hop in the rain 2 times but all in all it is not an issue anymore.

Agreed with others on and offroad is great improvement, night and day feel.

I don't recall having any noticeable wheelhop. I went +3's to offset some settling, would recommend this to others

If you folks use salt on the roads up there, have them powdercoated too.

I had some +2s installed today on my truck with about 75k on it and no rebuild on the bypass. So far the on road ride is better than I can ever remember.

Sounds like im not alone jesse, maybe that rearch and the shackles are whats giving you the wheel hop.

Each Deaver weighs around 100# if I remember right. I didn't weigh the stockers, but I'd say each one of those weigh 35-40#.

Stockers weigh a lot more that 40#'s - I have not weighed mine, but moved them in the warehouse and would say they weigh closer to 80 lbs

will try to weigh them next time I am up there.

I put my +2 Deavers on with 5 k miles on the truck - just turned 60,000 - they have been on there about 22 months (I drive a lot). I also have SVC bump kit.

Both have had no issues to date and I see no fade. My Deavers were set up to carry 600 lbs of tongue wt from the boat. During the use period above have towed the boat about a dozen times with total miles of with trailer of about 10,000 of the 55,000 since installed.

I would definitely go that route again.
