You could also do the Icon Leaf springs and reconfigure the leaf springs if your needs change in the future.

Are the Icons as good as Deavers? The Icons at $673 are significantly cheaper than the comparable Deavers at $1600.

Search... I think I recall some fitment issues with other products like traction bars or the like. And that "adjustability" doesn't mean as much for those that can't do their own work, or are not willing to pay twice or more .

I think so, look up the complete kit. I sent the wrong link. They're close to what the Deavers cost. I think they have a better finish but I've never had Deavers. People in the Raptor community usually do one or the other. I like the Icons because they include an extra leaf pack that you can add later if your needs change.

Deavers are known to have a crappy coating, other than that they have been doing springs since wagons… no, really, over a century. Can knowing what I know now, I’d still do deavers again.

Thanks for all of the great info! I’ve got Deavers/Carli leafs on the back of my 05 Dodge 3500 and they made a huge difference!
Just trying to get the correct rear setup as I’ve got SVC C.A.S collars for the front to help fine tune the front ride height..just trying to avoid the saggy ass look. 75% of the time the truck bed will empty aside of the retractable bed cover and a MTB.. but it will see dirt bikes on the weekends and the occasional boat towing for a short distance.

With the +2 HDs I have about 150-200 lbs of gear in the truck at all times. Both bed and cab. Back to back noticed the HDs slightly rougher first drive. With in a day I was used to it and didn't even notice. Wife didn't notice at all. To me 200% worth it. Front end is completely stock and the truck is an ass hair high in the back. Throw the boat on and 1000% better. Will have all 4 live valves rebuilt shortly and will talk to them about adding a little valving for the extra spring rate.
