Springs and bumpstops

[Yukon Joe]

You should update your original install thread from last year with the few issues you've had (front shocks and rear leaf springs).

I noticed my hd's have sagged as well, less than a year and never any load in the bed. Installed just before havoc and did that and one dune trip. I'm going to look into deavers myself

Here is a set of Deaver +3 next to 10 month old stock for comparison.

I know right?

What ****** me off is that I was lead to believe (like Pat said above) that the springs had been reworked since you early guys had sagging problems.

Warning to all: These springs will sag pretty quickly.

Damn man I wonder if you got a set of old ones that were in stock and not new ones.. I've had my new ones in for about 15 months and 20K miles at least and they're still arched fine to me. And the fact that national won't do anything about it is pretty ******* lame! What's deavers warranty like?

My sd where put on the same night as madcows and mine where sagging bad when i pulled them off 10 months after install. I loved the ride but i was dam near on the bump stops. Now i do carry some weight in the bed and tow now and then and figured it was due to this

Can someone with this setup (Fox 3.0's with National springs) go out and measure distance from center of rear wheel to bottom of the flare for me?

I need a frame of reference here.

So when I jump up and down on the rear bumper there is almost no give in the suspension. I was thinking I used to be able to get this thing moving up and down pretty good.

National/rpg sucks. My gen ones are junk and the truck is down right dangerous with how much it donkey kicks. The back of my bed actually hit my rear window molding at trr it kicks that hard. There's another spring option that should be coming out later that I think is worth waiting for. It's said to have some really neat features that no other spring on the market has.

Sure now that I just bought springs. Luckily it was any of the ones having issues

Alright Steve. Spill the beans. Should I cancel the Deavers?
