Deavers are leaf springs, they will replace my stock springs and blocks with just springs that are more 'compliant' off road. some decent shocks need to accompany these so we'll see what shows up bolt-on before i have to hack mounts for some rear SAW race runners. BTW the camburgs ARE just SAW race runners, they say so right on the shock (donahoe are the same or close).

taking out body in the back is an unfamiliar term to me? if you mean body lift, the truck has none, only suspension block between axle and springs, which i frown upon (but these are bad circumstances and i have no choice right now)

Thanks for the quick response!

Yeah I meant body lift. I personally don't like them because I had one on my last Expedition. Looked good but handled worse. Sounds like you're going the right route by taking out that block (body lift in my lingo for SUVs and such).

Can't wait to see the finished product!
