2.5" deavers+1"block Vs. 1.5"deavers+2"block?

[K-MU]

Hi guys, I currently have a 2" rancho block on the rear of my truck, I also have in the garage a prg 1" rear billet block.

I want about 3.5" of lift in the rear, so I can use either block and deaver in combo to achive this height.

Anyone tried both deavers before? I like the idea or better load capacity of the 2.5" deavers, but the stiffer ride makes me wanna think twice.

I can go with the 2.5" deavers and 1" block for a 3.5" lift
or the 1.5" deavers with 2" block for the same 3.5" lift

I could also go with the 2" block and 2.5" deavers for 4.5" this would be the best, but my rancho RSX9000 shocks might not be long enoughf for them and I would hate to spend $200 extra on new longer shocks...

What do you guys think?

The deaver are way better in the dirt and ride alot better on the street. A block will also make axlewrap worse so I recommend no block if you can get the lift you want with just a spring.

This is a bit off topic but for either configuration won't you also need the carrier bearing drop down bracket?

I need atleast a 3" lift in the rear because I will be adding new coilovers in front and I need and extra 1" of height in the rear to level it out... I currently like the way the rear handles with the 2" block and the rancho rsx9000 shocks, so I would like to get about 3" of lift the cheapest way posible, Im way out of my limits now...

I have the 1.5" deavers and prg made me a set of 2" billet off set blocks (to center the rear end in the opening) and the bilsteins.... this works great for me.....

From PRG site it says that the 2.5" deavers have better load capacity and a firmer ride and since I do carry load in the bed very often this might be my choice...

Or maybe I can just have greg fab a billet 3.5" block for the rear and keep the stock overload leaf and great load capacity...

I put the Deavers on and kept Greg's 1.5" rear blocks. It rides great, I'm actually more impressed with the Bilsteins and Deavers than I am with the DRs up front. It's firm, but sweet.

Maybe I could get the 2.5" deavers and use my PRG 1" block for a total of 3.5" of lift, then down the road if I decide to get more lift, I coul exchange the 1" block for the 2" block and get the right lenght Bilsteins for a 4.5" lift...

I have the 2.5" deavers and a fabtech 2" block and it rides great. If you want 4.5" in the back then I would recommend this set up over a larger block.

Speaking of PRG, I ordered the mini-kit over a week ago from Greg...anyone know what the usual delivery time is on those? I thought I would have had it at the end of last week, but it's still not here.

Sorry, that's off topic I know...I'll try to post some before n afters when I do get the lift on.

FtWtitan, your kit was shipped a couple days late, no ones fault but mine. You should have it tomorrow though. I have sent you a pm with the T/N.

[FtWTitan]

Thanks, Greg...no big deal, I was just wondering if something got tied up. Thanks for getting back to me.

Greg, can you help us here with the pros and cons of each of the deaver springs?
