Trim height with Eibachs, Deavers (+1), 37” K02

[Retired in TN]

I got my 2020 Raptor back after installation of Eibach front springs, Deaver (+1) leaf springs and 37” BFG K02 tires, which I run on stock rims. I absolutely love this setup! The bump to trim height and the look I was after.

Wheel opening-to-ground measurements with 1/2 tank of gas are 43-1/4” +/- 1/4” at all corners.

Minimal impact to on-road ride quality and the acceleration seems minimally affected. (Disclosure - Whipple IC was added during the same installation). Ride effect from increasing load rating C (6-ply) to load rating D (8-ply) is countered nicely by the increased tire volume. I am running 34 psi at all corners.

Zero plans to change this setup.

sounds like a nice set up. Did you do any trimming with this set up and is there any rub . Do post a few pics of the sweet set up

No rubbing, keeping stock wheels takes out the guesswork. Early pics (before / after). It looks far more subtle in the pics than in person.

This looks awesome. Well done! I'm heading a similar direction soon, thanks for the post

Logic will have you asking if you really need the 1” added height of the Deaver springs. After all, Eibachs are called “leveling springs”. Shout out to the several posters that persuaded me to spend the $$ on the Deavers.

Love your setup. I'm considering the same. I like the stock beadlock wheels. To ensure I'm clear, when you say Deaver (+1) do you mean Deavers that add 1 additional inch of ride height? It's my impression that Deaver +2s give the same ride height because you remove the stock 2" blocks for install. And Deaver+3s give an additional inch of height. So do you have Deaver +3s?

Yes, you want to add 1” of rear height with the Deavers. My truck would look front-high without the added height to the rear.

The place that sold the Deavers called them +1 and I like that description. The 3” reference is spring-only and not terribly helpful IMHO because the primary focus is the change to vehicle trim.
