GEN 2 Deavers +4s

[Winchester30]

Not sure if I agree, the factory rear leaf hop is the biggest complaint suspension related. He travels with a load in the bed and sometimes a trailer so he needs some better rear suspension.
I found it informative to know that Deaver was willing to make custom leafs for his application.

In his defense- I checked in on this thread as I’ve been contemplating deavers for a while mainly because I want a lil taller ride height up front but maintain take & reduce sag/squat when towing.

I come to your lengthy post actually hoping to glean something from it & then @ the end you completely lose me (& most likely everyone else interested in hearing your experience) when you said “my front suspension is completely stock”

my guess is you are the ONLY person on this forum, maybe who own a raptor period, who has a set of deavers (custom or not) & has done NOTHING to the front!!?!? Your experience is therefore pretty much irrelevant from there on. PLENTY of guys have done the opposite- added springs/colors etc then either modified stock leafs, left stock, added deavers or something in between.

so you should expect some
Backlash- thanks for the useless info bro

So you didn't find it useful that Deaver provides an option that isn't listed on their website. That you're not limited to the canned crap answers you get on the forum? You don't understand that Deaver would have accommodated front springs if I had them? You don't understand that RPG recommended against a front spring upgrade...at least for my needs? Not interested in a build that splits the difference between tow/haul and Baja racing? Apparently you just wanted to rant, that's fine...so did I...LOL

already knew that b/c I’m not an automaton & took it upon myself to call deaver from the beginning when researching suspension stuff lol

when you have a company mentioned 1000 times on a forum & that company has a base of operations & sells direct doesn’t take a whole lotta effort to punch in a website get a customer service # dial it up & ask a few questions!!

of course they make custom leafs- you ever been to a spring shop?

But aesthetically/functionally seems the biggest grip w/ deaver setup is getting the right stance & not having the rear sag or the leafs de-arch over time, I’m looking for “long term service” experiences using the deavers in rear w/ the front suspension also lifted

At this point I think for most owners who aren’t going to be doing hardcore off-roading but want to raise the front while not being nose high & gaining a lil bit of payload the best bet would just be going to a local reputable spring shop & have them add some leafs/U bolts etc

...(a stock 2017 did finish the baja 1000 with stock springs after all)...

If that's the 2017 they have in the "museum" in Tooele, the rear springs are not stock. They looked like Deavers to me.

Are those 35”s? What front springs? Are those +4s or +4 HDs?

The front are Fox 3.0 DSC and the back are HD +4 with Fox 3.0 QAB

Yes 35's KO2 with Beadlocks which pushes the tires out a little

Was going to send to Hennessy for 39.5k
I spent around 15k here in utah with Karl Krohn (well known in these parts of the country) The Hennessy people were great, deaver owner is a complete stud but I couldn’t justify 40k on a truck a drive a few times a week..
whipple’s products are top shelf and once we get the tune dailed in, we will produce new Dyno numbers for everyone..
the Borla exhaust system is not a nuisance and have it on my 911 Porsche turbo.. Highly recommend even if It sound only..
