Deaver powdercoating

[CoronaRaptor]

Truck is my daily driver so I want it to be comfortable. Now and then I’ll beach drive or do a few dirt roads/trails.

I wouldn't bother getting deavers if you are not going to offroad lots or do any additional towing.

FYI, I had a talk with Steve at Deavers years ago about anodizing, he said it would be cost prohibitive.
But I bet with some research you might be able to find a local steel place that does zinc plating and anodizing.
I never looked into it myself, I just spray my springs with wire rope lube every few months works for me.

What is this? "wire rope lube", never heard of this.

How come? I couldn't imagine going back to stock springs.
I don't off road or tow but the Deavers are a must for better street handling, IMHO.

It's what we use on all of are crane hoisting cables.

It's salt and chemical resistant and does not attract dirt.

I use that shit on everything, door locks, door lock cylinders, pad locks,
I threw every can of WD 40 in garbage, it's not a lube it's a nut buster cleaning solution.

My avatar picture is when I power wash the springs, power air dry and spray up.

Just because the OP was going back to stock and later on he was going to upgrade and he was questioning his reasoning, so i thought why bother if he is just driving to starbucks. Your truck needs it for axle hop, I have them as well for other reasons too. I agree they are worth the money!

OK, I didn't read the OP, just jumped right on in, sorry, sorry.

Actually I upgraded to the Nationals before being Supercharged back in 2011.
I couldn't drive here in pothole city with the stock springs unless I air down to 20 psi. basically.
Then when I SC early 2012, I broke two sets of Nationals, switched to Deavers broke them and they made me a custom HD set.
And still didn't 100% stop wheel hop.
I now have traction bars and will go back to SD Deavers for smoother ride.

i had mine powdercoated, the powder guy says they do leaf springs all the time. They've only been on for about 2 months so i guess time will tell how they hold up, but they look great for now.

I had my Deavers locally powdered and they have started flaking off. Now I just cleaned them really good and spray them with Rustoleum every so often. I figure when they flex a lot, nothing will stay on. Anodizing or something similar would be nice.
