Q: Before vs After Deavers (+1) and Eibach springs. Wheel opening to ground

[Retired in TN]

My current ground-to-wheel opening heights are about 40.5” at all corners.

Any info is appreciated. I’ve seen this info here in several threads, but I can’t find anything using the search tool.

Would you not want a +3 in order to stay level-ish with the Eibachs? I was strangley even stock and noticed my 2020 leafs were straight instead of curved before 15k. Since I was already close to level, I went with the +2 HDs with the OE fronts and now just ever so slightly raked forward... but not buy much. HDs because I tow a boat and maybe someday RV trailer.

Don't forget you remove the 2" OE lift blocks (idiot blocks) when installing the Deavers. So a +3 is really only about 1" or so more rear lift with the blocks out.

Yes, sorry, my Deavers are +3 vs. the current leaf spring, adding 1” to current vehicle height. I should have been more clear.

Ah, might have been my reading comp… has been a busy freakin two months.

Should be close to level with a full tank of fuel.

That sounds low. I'm at 40.5" on the stock springs, no collars.

I am at 40.5” at all 4 wheel openings with stock everything. Springs getting installed the next 2-3 days. I will post heights afterward.

Maybe you blew out your rear springs. I'm at 40.5/40.25" front, 42.25/42.375" rear. Stock. Do you tow or haul heavy loads?

Ok thank you, that is what I needed to know. I bought my 2020 4 months ago and have no idea how the previous owner used it. The new leaf springs may give it quite a lift.
