2019 SCREW - in pretty good condition but on close inspection after getting it home the previous owner definitely did some Raptor runs with it. The leafs aren’t arched anymore. Behind the axle they’re flattened out a bit.

I want to do Deavers anyway because after installing Eibavhs I went from about .75” nose low to .50” nose high.

My question is this - will Eibachs settle half inch? And would this flattening cause the rear to sag .50”? I have a Bakflip, builtright panels and some recovery gear in the bed at all times, maybe 150lb total

Mine on my 2020 sagged really early WITHOUT catching air (unfortunately). I went Deaver +2 HD which added back a hint of rake with OE front springs. So sounds like you'd want to look at +3 SDs or HDs depending.

flattened leaves will sag more than 1/2”
eibachs may settle close to 1/2”
rearch your stock leaves and add a couple of leaves
1/2 the deaver cost, deavers sag too by the way
