    Does anyone know of or have any pictures of a 1st gen preferably access cab that has the Deaver rear 8 leaf pack with either OME 880 or 881 springs.

    I'm not sure which front springs to go with and just wanted to see the difference in rake on either one.

    How much lift you get with a particular spring depends on several different things, like your engine, if you have a winch bumper etc...

    The heavier you are the less a particular spring will lift you.

    If you have a 4cyl with stock bumper youll get more lift.

    So it depends on what you have, not what pics other people have.

    I have a Limited with the v6 and I don't plan on adding any weight for a while.
    It is my daily so I'm looking for a good compromise between off road performance and daily use.

    I looked at your build and I was wondering how you like the ride on the deaver springs.

    They were a vast improvement over stock. I was surprised how the road ride improved. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much of a chance to take them off road due to injuries.

    Still using the 5100s in the back currently, but eventually going to do kings to match the front when I decide on a shock mounting solution.

    For a daily driver, imo, kings and all that are a bit excessive. I had the 5100s all around and even that was a great improvement over stock, and offers a good compromise in not only on and off road performance, but cost, too.

    Right now I have Kyb monomax on all 4 with the daystar spacer on the front. The ride is good but the leafs have sagged so the rear does sit a little lower.
