Question for those with deavers

[1badjk]

i am interested in doing deavers in the back and collars in the front. But I have to use a parking garage on a regular basis for work and it has a low ceiling. Does anyone know what the actual increase in ceiling height is compared to a stock raptor?

+2 Deavers = no increase height
+3 Deavers = 1" increase in height

*They both eliminate the factory 2" block under the stock leaf. Thats why the +2 gains no increase.

What about the collars for the front? Thanks for the help

It depends who you go with and what model. I have the RPG 1.5" which essentially raised me 1 or so inches and made me level. No real increase in peak height if you dont count the antenna.

You may want to consider the RPG or SVC adjustable collars. I believe those can raise the front 1-3.5"

I have Geiser springs upfront and Deaver +2” in the back on 37” BFG’s. I haven’t been in a parking garage I don’t fit in yet but it feels really scary every time I drive into one.
My front sits about .5” higher than the back with this setup.

I have Geisers up front and Deaver +3 out back. Riding on 37” KO2. I can get into garages and drive thrus with 7’0” clearance without issue and a couple/few inches to spare. I would be extra careful and measure anything less than 7 feet.

I just had Geiser and Deaver+3s installed on my truck. If you are looking for additional clearance, I would strongly suggest doing the Geiser springs up front instead of the collars ($499 + installation). I was really worried about the truck having a firmer ride, but it rides great. If you are worried about money and are just looking for additional clearance, then I would start with the Geiser springs and add the Deavers to the rear later. I think the Deavers improve the ride somewhat for on-road use, but I am not seeing a big difference in normal driving.

I have Geisers (2.5" front lift) and Deaver +3s (1" rear lift). With this setup, I have a 3/4" rake from back to front.

With Toyo RT 37s, my truck sits right at 81" at the highest point of the roof. The truck would be 80" tall without the 37s. Unfortunately, I did not measure mine at its stock height, but you should be able to do the math with your setup if you know the height of your collars.

As others have said, I highly recommend the Geisers up front unless you are not planning to do Deaver +3s in the back.
