Looking For Deaver Install Instructions or DIY

[Dunerking]

Thanks FRF! I’m going to try and remove the plates from the OEM springs and reinstall on the Deavers. Hopefully after a liberal amount of WD on the nuts last night will persuade them to loosen up.

Thread revival..my son and I are installing the Deavers on his 2017 F-150 Raptor conversion and was curious if it’s necessary for the U-bolt plate that’s on top of the OEM springs to be swapped over to the Deavers when reinstalling? I was going to remove them but it’s pretty difficult getting the 117,+++ miles nuts to loosen up on the OEM springs. Thanks

No I don't believe so. I just did mine last week and the deavers had their own plate on top.

I didn't get a bump stop plate in time so I'm going to have to do the new off road alliance strike plate when it shows up next week. I figure that will be the time that I re-torque everything.

It's pretty easy other than the Deavers being really heavy. I ended up taking my spare tire/exhaust off as well as my shocks just to give myself extra room since I was doing it alone. With an extra set of hands it should be a lot easier.
