Rear end problems!!

I have a similar issue. I've had the National's on ever since I got my RPG Stage 3 (Standard Duty) and notice that the driver side sits a bit lower. I don't know if this is because I don't have a matched set, have a bad set, need them re-arched or the shackles are too tight. I'm thinking of putting my stock leafs back on to see how they do. Not looking forward to the work involved though.

Issue with Deaver Springs? Thanks for sharing. With all the glowing reviews and bashing of National springs you'd think they where perfect.

Yes, I have nationals and I've had issues as well, which are logged on the forum. But RPG has always been willing to help correct in the past. Sorry - rant over.


Yes, sounds like the springs are sacked. And from the description, it sounds like you got a +1" set when you purchased them. That means they were 1" less than stock hight. If you get new springs be sure to get at least +2 to match stock rear hight. If you have a SCREW you should consider getting HD springs.

You can also find a spring shop to rearch your springs. Will probably be about $80/spring or so.

As for the shocks, you got it. Send those in and get them rebuilt. I've kept my stock shocks for the same reason as well.

Let us know what you decide to do.

Have you found a place in our area to re arch our springs?

Just as a quick update to my original post. Deaver really stepped up and took care of business! I shipped the springs back to them and they re-arched them at no cost. They now sit as they should. The truck sits higher than it ever did. Conversely, the icon rear shocks were pretty much trashed. It cost damn near as much as a new set to have them fixed.

It's the Raptor lean. Everyone's truck sits lower on the driver side
