Yep. I can wait a while. Just want to see what happens to folks who run these springs at mid perch. Sure would like to raise the over all height about two inches. By the way is it a big no- no to run after market springs with stock blocks? Haven't seen any folks comment on putting on Deaver springs and keeping the blocks.

No you cannot. The rear shocks aren't long enough to work with four or five inches of lift. Not to mention the liability on the rear gear.

That would negate the advantages of the deavers. Wheel hop is bad !
What do you want the truck higher for ?
If just for looks, get a lift and a thick skin.
If for ground clearance, get 37's, and some glass.

Unlike some of you guys I do like the look of a lifted truck. Now nothing crazy but just a bit higher than stock. If I were to install the UTV springs at mid perch and +3 rear springs would that keep me pretty much level but about three inches over all lift ?


+3 will give you 1 inch over stock height.

It removes the spacer lock which is 2" tall
