Deaver...

So why on vacation I stopped in to an old fab shop I used to work for where my old boss kindly welded some chains on a gooseneck conversion for a 5ver.

Anyhow, we got to talking about trucks and such, leveling kits, the fact that my front springs(bushings) are squeaky. After I left he gave me a call, said that he talked to deaver and could get me a set fo 2" leveling springs with all hardware for a surprings low price.

Has anyone ever used a leveling kit on a DRW 4x4?

The front suspension is the same for all of us. Lots of guys with leveling kits.

I can help you out with a good deal, if you are willing to wait for a couple months.

i have a 4.5" spring hanger kit, plus a 2.5" leveling kit leaf spring. it is a Rough Country kit that you can get off ebay for $260+$60shipping. i had just put the leveling spring pack on, and i didn't want to sacrifice the great ride of the pack to get a 6.5" lift, so i just added the spring hanger. but i don't have clearance for my new 37's, and i want to get the 4" Deaver (Donahoe) springs front and 8" rear to make it 2" higher all around. i will have the leveling springs laying around, and we could make a deal thru PM's in the future when i do get rid of the springs. if you need them now, then go ahead and buy new ones. mine have been on there for a year, and there is nothing wrong with them. i have pics of my truck when it was stock, and after the leveling kit. made a BIG difference. it will fit your dually. if it sits near level now, a 4" block in the rear plus a leveling kit and a set of 305/70r16's would look badass!

Kris that sounds like a great offer.
I need to remind you guys that selling stuff, even in a case like this, needs to be done through Personal Messaging.
Shenders99 when you get it all done, take some pics and let us know how you like it.

yeah, i have been reminded a few times now, and i know. i just throw the offer out in public forums, and if he's interested, we continue the conversation in private messages. now all i have to wait for is $$ to come in so i can get the new springs.

here are some pics of the truck, back in Stockville:



and after the leveling kit:



and just for kicks, wow she's changed.
