    I don’t know if you looked at my build, but I’m running 35”. Plenty of clearance, wheels extremely well even as a long bed...

    I didn’t realize you had 35s. Even with 35s, that’s a huge lift in the back. I’m only 33s. So I can imagine if I got stage III, it would be really tall me back lol

    Hmmmm....I’m on 35’s and have shit for lift in the front thanks to the short ass ADS coilovers which claim “3” lift” but really only give 2” at max on the third gens. I’m still on the stock leafs with 1.5” AAL w/overload, so it’s about equal to my fronts...I’m hoping the III’s don’t give me a ton of rake in the back...

    I was told the third GEN is about 250 pounds heavier in the front then the second GEN. And the third GEN from stock has a 700 pound rating coil so anything less from that is technically not able to work correctly. My 888 coils technically only gave me a 2 inch lift but now with the metal bumper, I’m down to 1.5 lol. I’m hoping the 886 heavier coils will give me back my lift

    get the Eibach pro-truck struts and springs. 742lb springs and a progressive shock. I had them prior to this and really liked them.

    OME springs are junk and so are Bilstein 5100’s. 886s are ~650lbs but will end up sagging after a while.

    My Eibach kit didn’t drop more than 1/8” and I have a heavy front end. Plus on the second notch it netted me 2.5” lift. So I was disappointed that these ADS coilovers left me with LESS lift than I had before. I have them maxed out too.

    What type of springs are they? If you have coilovers in the front most likely an Eibach spring. If so, the spring rate is generally marked on the spring somewhere.

    Well my bumper is only 110 pounds so it’s not super heavy like an arb. Was going to get the 886 coils and put a 1/4 inch spacer to get close to 2.5 inches of lift. But every site is back ordered by 886 coils. I will have to look into the Ibach Lift!! Thanks

    I just replaced my Icon AAL with Deaver stage 3.

    I currently don’t have all the weight in the back of the truck. But it gave me a very noticeable rake. F356E3C8-C436-4A52-83B6-B171655F41F1.jpg

    Hey guys looking for some info. I have a 2020 TRD off road and have the factory TRD lift which is a 2" front lift and 1" rear spacer block lift. I have added a smartcap, decked drawer system and my tools. I have about 600 lbs of weight in the bed that will be there all the time. Right now my rear is sagging 1 to 1.5" with the added weight. I am thinking of getting a deaver U402 stage 3 leaf pack and by doing so will remove the rear spacer. I was told it will lift my rear by 2" higher than stock with the 600 lbs of weight in the bed. So basically I will have a 2" lift maintained in the front and 2" in the rear. I see people saying it will raise it 3" in the rear which I am kinda scared about. I don't want the rear of bed higher than the front. My question is what do you think will happen with the rear with the stage 3 deavers. 2 or 3" higher than stock? Is the stage 3 the right option for my application? I don't want my truck looking like a sports car. Thanks!

    From what I have heard, the Deaver weight ratings are pretty accurate, meaning if your total bed weight is constantly in the 700-1000 lb range, then you can expect about 2" of lift with the Stage 3. If it is more in the 400-600 lb range, then the Stage 2 will give you about 2" of lift. I have somewhere in the range of 400-500 lbs in the rear and went with the Stage 2 which resulted in almost exactly 2" of lift.

    I'm sure you can contact Deaver and ask them.

    So for those who have had them installed any sag over the years? I'm looking at towing a NoBo 19.2 and my stock pack is FLAT with a 2" aal...

    I pulled the trigger on the deaver expedition stage 3 which is like 700-1000. I had them add the poly bushings and extended ubolts
