For those of you who have Deaver's I'm curious about your install. I read the back and forth on the forum about Deavers vs. Icons. I decided to go with Deavers to eliminate the hop, provide better off-road and to assist with reducing sag when towing on my 2020 SCREW. The shop I called, listed as a Deaver Springs authorized install site, asked that I order them and have them shipped to me directly. This was due to their limited COVID hours for receiving parts. I reached out to Deaver Springs and the contact was very helpful. He clarified that the Raptor forums began talking about the 1-inch lift units as +3 many years ago and that stuck. But to Deaver Springs, it's simply a "+1". On the invoice, it states "2017-2018 Ford Raptor +3 eliminates factory block one inch lift HD". The sticker on the spring itself states "Raptor +3" ". That would suggest to me it's a 3-inch lift. Also, the model number on the sticker suggests that L84 is the right model.
I measured the ground to wheel well height just before the install at 39 inches. The post install height is 43 inches. I have read it will settle down but I'm not expecting it to settle 3 inches. Deaver Springs stated the shackle bolts should only be torqued down 50-60 lbs and that may cause an issue if they're tighter than that. They also stated that the factory blocks must be removed, which they are. If you went with a 1-inch lift, what does the Deaver Springs sticker say on your set?
