[QUOTE="LekRap, post: 816429, member: 15006"] I think you would be fine with either the +1's or a 1" drop shackle...no revalving required. If you go with a 2" or more drop shackle, then I think you might have to mess with more of the revalving and all that kind of stuff. I am not an expert by any means, but from my experience, this is what I've gathered. For what I can say of advantages/disadvantages...I'd lean towards a +1 leaf because it is designed to ride that height. The drop shackle is altering the natural angle of the spring. If your getting Deavers though...I think you might have a hard time finding the +1's anymore. If you could though, I'd do it that way. I personally would rather actually have drop shackles on stock springs than drop shackles on progressive leafs like Deavers. Jeff from Deaver even told me that the drop shackle actually help the stock leafs be a little stronger by changing the spring rate with more angle. The Deavers are designed so well and the spring rate is much better, therefor altering that actually hurts. If that makes sense... [/QUOTE]
