Custom Deavers +2 Rear Leaf Springs
Finally received my Custom +2 Deavers!
I talked with Deavers a while back and discussed my scenario about wheel hop with being SC.
They were excited to try something new and made me a custom set with 2 thicker rebound leafs.
I was a little worried about the spring pack becoming stiffer but that's not the case at all.
I don't want to bash National they are far better than stock but the passenger spring pack was falling apart after 6,000 NYC miles.
I do want to add, when the SD Nationals were brand new wheel hop was almost gone in normal driving mode
but that lasted about 3 months and the wheel hop started.
Deavers "What a huge improvement!"
The ride is so much better no more pot hole jitters coming from the rear and I still have stock shocks.
I can only imagine what 3.0 shocks will do to improve the ride even further.
Wheel hop is gone in normal driving mode, giving a little gas off the light with the SD Nationals it would wheel hop right away.
I still need to put some more miles on the Deavers and try a posi launch, I'll update again at a later time.
Here's some pictures at KHC which I want to thank for great service!!!
Also went with SDHQ's bump stop strike pad bracket.
Out with the old in with the new:
I took some pics of ride height in my driveway so it's not 100% level but very close.
This is a Scab on mid-perch and Deavers +2 with 3/4 tank of gas and 40 psi. in all the stock tires.
