90yota's "BROVERLANDER" build/work in progress SOLD

damn glad I held off until I got word from everyone... I'm thinking of the deaver expo pack and having them custom make a set... since I don't plan on a RTT I should be right around the 500lbs consistent

 

Look at the options off headstrong. I'm looking at the expo 2 also

 

This, don't do the Dakar springs. You know I love my Deavers and am sad to see them go but I have seen nothing but complaints about the Dakar springs. All pro seems to be keeping people happy for the most part

 

yeah I've been talking with Marie there... it kills me to pay almost $1k for leaf springs lol im taking the family to lego land when I get back in a couple weeks so I may try to balance my order with deaver to work out picking it up while I'm down there...

 

Talk to @tubbsisland.. he has a custom set of Deavers springs, a variation of the u402 but designed to handle more weight. As far as I know, he's very happy with them and I can tell you that with his RTT and gear in the truck, his springs don't say much If at all

 

Wait. 1k a leaf!!

Dakars are 1/4 that. What kind of issues do people have with dakars? Mine worked fine. No issues with 500-600 pounds in the bed. Rode a hell of a lot better than it does with these new springs.

 

$1k for the pair... bonus is they come with bushings lol... as much as I would like to get the dakars I am very hesitant to get them after their new version came out and they don't even know the exact specs/load handling of their leaf packs... not to mention the paint job is absolute garbage (see headstrongs thread) and to top it off they aren't making anymore sets of HD until the fall time frame, which to me means they found flaws in the new packs and are resolving the issues or they aren't rated to handle the 500+ lb loads like they advertised...

 

Leaf spring science is way to difficult, and for 1k a pack, I'd 4-ink that bitch and run some Coily Overs

 

If only someone would have been selling the good versions.







I remember reading about those now. And 1k for the pair isn't that much more. At first I thought you meant double that.

 

lol smart ass! as much as I would have liked to get them I think you are probably happier with the cash you got from it than a cooler...

 

The answer to that question is never.

CBI will never catch up on orders.

 

Dude, that is beautiful out there.

 

It's been a blast! Actual wheeling 20 minutes down the road! I don't have to travel so far anymore just to find a dirt road.

 

This. Specifically the bit that was autocompleted

 

Man I'm surprised by all the dakars hate, I've had mine since January and really enjoyed them. With and without the AAL. Sad to see they've slipped like that

 

It's not that I hate mine. But I can't put anything in my truck. I don't even have a bumper yet or rtt. No way an AAL would fix my issues. Plus my buddy gas the same pack with 31s. I'm on 35s with the same weight and we sit at the same height. I technically should be 2 inches taller but mine sag

 

How weird, I have the opposite, my ass is up and my icon coils refuse to hold weight in the front. I have a RTT and can't wait for a full steel bumper just to drop the rear down...

If I had your situation I'd probably call it hate

 

That's how mine was too. With no weight I bet it had at least 4" lift. Fully loaded was taller than my new springs with no weight.


You want to talk about weak springs. Mine can't even really hold 200 pounds. And they ride like garbage too!

 

Damn so deavers weren't built to how you wanted then

 

Not even close. If I load up everything for a trip I bet I'll only have a few inches of uptravel.

I'm actually really disappointed with the whole thing right now. So much spent and it's basically worse at all points. Well the front isn't worse yet. Once I add the bypasses I feel like that's going to be too stiff as well.

And not having bumpstops kind of scares me too.
