The +3s just increase the ride height. They are not stiffer. Deaver does make heavy duty springs but they are separate and available in different heights as well. The +3s are not the heavy duty version.

Would you mind sharing your compression and rebound settings on your 3.0’s? I just got the plus 3’s and 3.0s as well.

With my rear shocks at 200PSI my current settings are...
Compression
Short - 2 (2 full turns from closed)
Long - 1 (1 full turn from closed)
Rebound - 7 (7 full turns from closed)
Keep in mind from what I found what works well for one doesn't work well for others. I took several other FRF members settings and didn't like the feel. I also changed shock PSI from a low of 180 (great on road very soft off-road) to my current 200 and will go to 220 to test out the ride.
As for the front, I keep the DSC's wide open on road then adjust the high-speed compression to 7 clicks. My front shock pressure is 200PSI as well.
Just wanted to share some pics with the Deavers +3 installed. I have the Icon's on the front set at the max of 2.25". The stance is PERFECT. Even with the heavy Backbones headache rack. I am sure it can take some more weight and still look level.
And if I may... Let me just say the guys I dealt with at both RPG and Deavers were terrific. I would support these guys/company anytime. Oh and Evil Manufacturing.

Thanks for your reply!
Just tried your settings on the road and really like it so far.
Previously I was 2 full turns (from closed) on both rebounds and slight softer on compressions.
My ride was a little too lively on the rear axle. This helped a lot. Thanks again.
We usually run a plus 1 shackle with the +3's also. Only lowers ride height 1/2 in and allows for more travel eliminating the factory rubber bushing along with more throw. Helps with ride quality also.
Sounds like you got it with adjusting the valving though. Even +3 always ride good for us.

How much travel does this add with stock shocks, shackles, and deavers? Just curious?

With stock shocks in the stock location it wont add any travel. It will improve ride slightly though. To get the travel potential out of the shackle/spring set up you need to run a longer shock

How much with a longer shock? I’ve asked around about this and nobody knows, but I think is a good way to go.
