Deavers or other leaf springs do nothing to stop or deter the axle wrap & axle hop the Rap is generating by themselves unless you’re getting to the point of eliminating compliance.
I disagree, my +4’s made the truck plant the tire into the pavement and has zero hop, has no problem doibg a brake stand, or just a rolling burnout. I could see a +3 or non hd spring still having it. Imo, removing that 2” block is the biggest step forward.

I understand the feel may be different but what have “better” leafs done to keep the axle from moving front to back under load?
I think maybe a video like KHC did showing the difference in take offs and actuation before and after the t/a would be enlightening.

Maybe Elon Musk could provide a definitive answer on how to launch a 2018 Raptor.
