Default Question About 3+ Deavers and Top Perch Setting

Anyone have the perch at the top and run the 3+ Deavers? Mine is abut .5 lower in the rear now. Would think after a little set the 3in would settle out to be perfect.

Thoughts from the collective?

Jeff thanks for your response. I read your thread on your solution earlier. In my case it really makes sense to go forward with the custom springs that I ordered yesterday from Deaver. During slow traversing over big drops with a small load the bigger springs will slow the acceleration towards the dreaded "bump stop"!!

The only person I know of running the 3+ is Connor on one of the Outlaw trucks...but I don't know if they have installed them yet. How many inches of height did you get after the pack settled?

So removing the rear blocks adding 3" Deavers and going to top perch will level it out ?

I have the +3 custom pack as well... Rear sits a tad higher than the front, which icon the middle setting.

Once I load up the rear with my off road gear, the truck sits level.

You can run 37s with the +2 deavers. The +3 makes the truck sit 1" higher in the rear, it was designed for those who haul larger, heavier loads in the bed and don't want the truck to ride low in the back...If this is sounds like your application, by all means run them. Just wanted to help clear up any confusion. No matter which kit you purchase, it will ride much better than stock, offer more travel and be a great a great starting point to any rear suspension build up!
