Deaver Springs: The Truth
zhlédnutí 6KPřed rokem
The Deaver springs for a 99-06 Chevy Truck does not yield the amount of advertised lift. If your goal is 6" of lift, based off my experience you should order the 8" lift springs being that the 6" lift springs only yielded 4-4.5" of lift.

How to remove oil pan from lifted truck
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 3 lety
Quick instructional video giving a few tips on how to remove your oil pan when your lift kit crossmember is in the way. If your body is in the way because you do not have a body lift you can also lift the body in the air to give your engine room to move up as well as the transmission. This would still be quicker than removing your whole front lift kit. Hope it helps, take your time and good luc...

Hey everyone, this is just a video showing off a few features and aspects of my “build”. Yes this is my first truck and I know it ain’t much, but there’s a lot more to come! Thanks for stopping by and make sure to comment any questions or advice. Thank you, take care!
good job
I have never laughed so hard at a video. Thank you for this hahahaha. Please do more comedy content on this truck. 🫵🏼🤣
Thank you
Thanx brutha, exact same issue with vintage dodge truck!
Man I really hope this works on my 2005 Hummer H2. I damaged the connector on the end of the wire behind the bottom left steering wheel control buttons. 🙏
It should work 👍🏼 the hummer is part of the GMT 800 chassis so it’s all pretty much the same
Go drive it and let the front suspension settle
Sounds like you should have left the factory 2” blocks in.
Just so everyone knows deaver leaf springs are not meant as a lift spring it is meant as a long travel better ride leaf spring on suspensions that move that much its going to vary slightly and all leaf springs settle or compress over time do your due diligence and research firs do not use deavers as a lift kit because they are not
because it is 6"' over factory , well factory uses a lift block which you needed to leave in place . for a direct replacement of just the springs
Why don’t people do the minimum lift required for the tire size they want? 6” lifts and wheels that poke give you a useless p.o.s.
Usually it's for looks, if there's more wheel than tire you know they're not concerned with flexxing it out
How about highway driving what rpm are you at when going 70mph in putting 37’s on my 07 2500hd classic 6.0 vortec 4l80e 4.10 favtory gearing

hey man when you did your body lift what did you do for the tow hooks in the front
Unfortunately they’re gone. No way to retain them really
The blocker goes in but I still can't shift out of park. I hear a clicking up under the hood that sounds like a bad connection
Couldn’t help but laugh when you said you’re tired of being ridiculed on a daily for the squat. I could see my buddies doing the same to me. I actually just ordered some Deaver springs for my Tacoma that says it gives a 1” lift and I’m not really wanting a lift. Maybe these springs not measuring up will work to my advantage. How are the springs working out other than the lack of height promised?
is ur speedometer off ? cause i feel like mine is after i got the gears upped to 4.56
No sir, I had mine adjusted in HP tuners
thats a nice ford, my dad had a 1953 GMC pickup
Nice explanation.
Hey brother is there a way i can contact you? Id like to speak with you about a project i have on my 07 silverado, you have email?
Dude you got a toolbox and a long bed crew cab from what I can tell. It’s the weight on the back bringing you down. Deavers are soft. They extremely improved my ride on my 13 f150. It rides like my dads gen 3 raptor.
It’s a short bed
I'm having a hard time getting mying into park any ideas ??
At any point did you wish you went with 4.88 or 5.13? I did 4.56 with a built 5.3 and a 4l80e and wish I went 4.88...have 5.13.gear set on the way
Not at all, lol I actually wish I had gone with 4.30 gears
so i haven’t used any kind of grease or anything but the mechanism is working and i’m still stuck in park
What do I do if I have this issue but I broke the whole azz handle off how do I fix that
I don't know if that is my situation, but it is going to be the first thing I check. Thank you!!!
Should have a minimum of 3 threads sticking out the nut on those u-bolts my man!
Ty😊for this info...
Mine won't go into park
It will go but it takes some going back and forth like it's to loss did you fix uours
Skent-back!
That was my problem but I forced the lever too much and the plastic part that puts the truck in R-N-D-1-2 broke, you know what that part is called ? Now I need to use tweezers to put it in D or R
Beautiful showing, thank you sr
I think mine's pop
I realize you want the 6". but at this point why don't you just back off the front torsion bars slightly for perfection...
So the tires don’t rub
Have u had any problems with axel wrap with this setup? I have an 05 with a pro comp 6” and I’m getting it really bad!
Thx man! It’s been driving me crazy
Get a corvette servo
You have a 4 door truck with a tool box full of stuff in the bed. 6" was probably an average with all the cab types (single, extended, etc). Your front being high right now is also putting weight bias to the rear, it's not uncommon to have to use small blocks to dial the desired lift height when piecing together parts. Your advertised 6" of front lift could also be high 🤷♂️. The money spend is buying a quality pack that eliminates your stack of blocks and improves the ride characteristics.
You’re not taking into account how the difference was over my worn out factory springs. If anything it should’ve been taller after the fact. My toolbox is all the way forward of the axle as well and only had a 14 gallon air tank in it for my train horn, would make a marginal difference at most. And if we’re going to split hairs why not ask how much gas I had in the gas tank as well.
@Parker_Garage I don't know what to tell you, I bought the Deaver packs through Carli and the advertised height is what I get for F series trucks. With the weight of my tool box and tools I usually have to add a 1 inch spacer to keep advertised height. I don't think you appreciate how weight bias works, anything in the bed of your truck including the cab weight, is supported by the rear springs. There isn't an imaginary line that anything forward of that rest on the front or rear suspension components solely. 🙄
Another helpful tip is that you cannot compare the front to the rear wheel well ….opening is typically not as high in the rear as the front …if that is what you’re comparing? You would be better off putting a level on the bed rail to see what you’re front to rear rake is.
That’s exactly my issue on my 2005 ram Daytona. Thanks so much for sharing your problem and the Fix. Helped me on this occurrence. Got a definite subscribe from me.
So i have 4.11s in my 6.0 with 34s. Think 4.56 would be to radical?
FUCK YEAH! THANKS
so for my 35s i should run 4:56 gears?
My 2003 suburban had the power folding mirrors.
You might have just saved me a lot of headache.
Hope it helps! Best of luck to you!
Hey man helpful info going to put a 6 inch lift on my 05 crew cab z71 soon. One question, how are your droop stops not touching the UCAs. Are those the stock ones? Reason I ask is because before I bought my truck the droop stops were broke halfway off and I didn’t notice until recently lol. Someone cranked the front all the way up and rode it like that. So I think I will just get someone to weld them back on or cut them off and get some blocking welded underneath the bracket so it’ll beef it up. Also, thinking of some 22x12 hostiles with 37s but don’t know yet. I like the fuels but they have been so expensive lately.
At the time of that video they were stock upper control arms. They did not touch, mostly because I only had my keys turned slightly. I now have the Cognito UCAs. You can get limiting straps and put your keys at a reasonable angle, or weld something on lol.
Did you have to crank keys to level it out
Unfortunately I have my keys about half way cranked. Luckily they’re not maxed out so it rides okay. 37s are a rough deal on the 1500s; no one makes a proper lift to clear them (under $6,000)
So no top end mph an a lot of gas burnt up y not3000for turbo tune rear end was800to do…
It’s my work truck not a race truck 👍🏼
Fixed my issue!!!!!
My SLT has the power folding mirrors
