Long Travel BS Thread

If you are set on them Call Engage. They have them last I heard. If not really set on them go H70's.

 

For the local guys, I can get anything from Deaver, and I can split the freight between all of you to save on that. Maybe even a good deal if they do a run of a few of them. Willing to help any way i can. Just let me know

 

And we can do this nate

 

Im going to weight i wanted h70s anyway

 

Lol @ "Kbb says $19,000."

 

What do you consider pricey? I didnt see a price on the site...

Hey Guys-

Great News about Leaf Springs!!!
I have been working with Jeff Crosby (owner of Deaver) and we are developing new full blown long travel leaf springs made for a race 1450/2000 Toyota truck. They are like the F-67's but made for someone who has extra weight ( 2 spare tires, tools, tubes, driveshafts and jacks etc...).
They are Stiff and Tall Just like the 50T pack I ran the first half of this season. I am testing them this weekend on sunday. If anybody is interested in these springs let me know. The new re-designed Deaver E-30 Pack. I will have details next week. I know Christmas is coming and us boys have off road habits and $$$ to spend.
Im working on getting everybody a special T.W. discount also.

 

Whats the recommended shackle setup with these?

Cant wait to see these in action!

 

you already know i am. lemme know what you think after you run them.

 

Is this a direct replacement for the 50T? 52.5" eye to eye? That would be cool.

 

cant wait for more info

 

They are not the same pack.
The New E-30 is two inches taller and naturally sits the stiffest. But they do have the same main leaf so your geometry and shackles don't need to be changed. But the rest of the pack is different though. A lot of it is to do with how aggressive the leaf pack is with the arc. But the E30 will make a lot of guys sit stink bug. But you don't want leaf springs to "pack" which most guys have that problem because they want the pre-runner look. Ill get pics posted this weekend with the F-67 and New E-30 next to each other so you can see the difference between the 2 packs.

Shit, figuring out leaf springs is harder than setting up a Linked truck!!!!!!. I raced in linked trucks for years and never had the R&D time that we have to do with Leaf trucks

 

Yes, I changed nothing when I switched over

 

Wow! Here is a pic of H70's (old grungy ones) compared to the 50T. They were about 2" different, but the H70's were beat on pretty hard too...Interestingly, the deaver H70's flexed a lot better in slow off camber stuff than the 50T's do, but the 50T's get about 2" more droop... It will be cool to see how the E-30's compare. I bet they will be great!

 

Great to hear. When and where are you testing on Sunday?

Saw that over on expeditionportal.com a while ago. Def going to go that rout instead of a high lift jack
