Anyone have Deavers on a 6.2 gas truck? I'm wondering how well they work and how much lift they provide. It seems like a 3.5 inch lift then after removing the ford 2.5 inch spacer it ends in a 1 inch rear lift.
Can anyone verify?
Can they be used with a BDS 2 inch level kit (are the shocks long enough or valved correctly)?

The deavers are amazing, probably the best ride improvement you can do to these trucks and they'll definitely work for your gasser. Give Carli a call for their recommendation, I believe it's a 2" lift with the blocks removed but I can't remember off the top of my head. It will work with a BDS lift, but I'm pretty sure you'd need longer shocks in the rear no matter what. They are usually available as 0-1" and 2-3.5", so you'd need the 2-3.5" rear shocks. They should have those as an option.

I want those Deaver addapacks, but I can't afford to add even the slightest lift. Wish they had a factory ride height option. Tried to call carli about them to see what they could do several times but they are so busy, no one there to answer the phone. I know I should just leave a message but I don't.

Deaver springs would be the absolute best ride improvement you can do on these trucks. Its really amazing the difference. The problem is they lower your payload too much for me. You lose about 1,000 lbs payload if I remember correctly. You can gain that back with long travel air bags, but thats another $750 or so. Its been a while since I looked at all of this, deaver would know for sure.

They can't call you back if you don't leave a message silly goose. Its a small shop and the people there wear many hats. Leave a message and someone will get ahold of you.
Have you attempted to call Deaver Springs direct?
