I installed a set of Deaver U182 leaf springs recently, these springs are amazing, I know have about 18 inches of wheel travel. I was going to install a pair of Fox 2.5 Factory Series Reservoir - DSC Adjuster that are exteneded for 2" of lift on the rear. They ended up being about 6" too short, luckily I have friends at Fox and they are finding me a set of shocks that will work.

You can see how far the rear axle drops drop compared to the front with Fox coilovers DSC's and Cognito UCA's. Makes me want to do a long travel up front now.


These Deaver springs are truly amazing, 13 thin leafs compared to the factory 3 leaf springs.




Full droop




This pictures shows how restricted the travel is on the front.

I think a long travel kit for the front would be a perfect match, as that is way off from the rear. Looks pretty badass though..

Not installing limiting straps or bump stops?

I wanna see a sitting on the ground picture.

You definitely increased ride quality with 13 springs.

Also what are your fronts set at? I have a similar set up and have a bit more droop

Ok, now I think I should get the full travel out of the Deaver springs, I need to relocate my rear shocks, I'm looking at Fox 2.5 3 tube bypass shocks with either 12" or 14" of travel.

Any suggestions on how to mount the shocks or a bed cage that is relatively low profile?

What shock did you end up doing in the rear?

Looks good make sure you install a carrier bearing I had looking into those springs but went with the F51 spring instead to give me a lower center of gravity. dId you do a bed cage or just reinforced your stock mounts?

Holy crap that's a lot of droop!

How's the rear ride now with those springs? Did you lose payload capacity?

The ride is amazing the pay load is nothing though 4 bales of hay and I'm on bump stop. Here's a pic of full droop
