Deaver springs

I have done numerous searches but come up short. Looking for someone that has put Deaver rear springs on their 17 to 19 F250 or F350. How do you like them? Is the ride any better? Did you replace the complete pack assembly with their whole assembly?Any information would be appreciated 😁

Got some on order. Will report when I get them installed. I wouldn’t consider them if I put a lot of weight on the bed or tongue but I don’t.

Thanks BillyE. Very interested to hear about your experience with them. Have you had them on order for awhile? I can't even get them to respond to online inquiries.

The full Deavers are amazing! The up and down travel and overall ride are considerably improved. No blocks so no axle wrap. Soaks up the bumps while keeping the rear on the ground. I like to drive off curbs and other urban obstacles and barley notice (I drive it like I stole it lol). I've put about ~10 inches underneath and its soft as butter without any rebound

I've also only driven it with Kings so can't speak to direct spring comparison but the Carli pintop is very impressive all around. If you get them you'll need to slather grease between the leaves or they'll squeak, I used white lithium. It's a 2.5 level but maintains the factory rake, so the bed is near my chin and I'm 6'1". The rake keeps it level 'looking' when loaded but you do lose some bed capacity. I don't tow heavy but added Firestone bags

What did you do lift wise in the front end? Any pics? I'm not worried about losing a bit of payload capacity.

I have them with a Carli 3.5” Pintop system on my 2020 and I love them! I’ve had about 8 1 ton trucks before this one and the back is always VERY harsh, like jarring when empty which I am 95% of the time.

Now with the full deavers it rides really nice, the rear is actually softer than the front. Things like dropping off curbs, larges potholes are just a minor now. Best suspension upgrade I’ve done.

I have about 2-2.5” rake empty and about 1.5” rake with 1200 lbs in the bed.

Sounds like the direction I want to go. My next question is where are you all getting your kits? I can't seem to get ahold of anyone who wants to help or sell these products?

I put a Carli Backcountry kit on my 17' and could not be happier. (Full progressive deaver pack in the back, sway bar with end links, and stabilizer) My local shop ordered the kit from CJC Offroad... My truck now sits on 37s on 18" Methods. It's not the same truck anymore; It's great.

Here's a not so great pic but gives you a sense of the rake. Truck is now 7'4" on 37s. Garage door is 7ft for reference

Long story but I got my kit through my dealership back in mid-2018. Still took almost 2 months then. I added a single King SS and Carli torsion sway bar too. I got the TSB from CJC (took 4.5 mths in late 2020!) and the SS direct from King (5 week lead time in 2018)

If you're even remotely considering about buying anything Carli, order now and decide later. You'll have plenty of time to change your mind, lol. Cheers
