Default Re: Rides Like a BRAND NEW Truck!

Guess I should have promoted my overload replacements a little bit more considering I had good reviews about them but I got so busy that I just didn't have the time. I'm just going to go over a few points made by people on the last page. First off the springs should be 60mm wide vs 2-1/4" wide and whoever says they're losing money by selling them for $190 needs to refigure their numbers because I know what it cost to build these. On another note Deaver does build their own custom springs and probably just gets their oem replacements from Triangle or has Triangle reproduce their design. Next, you need to realize this mod will effect your towing capacity because you're taking out your overload which is designed to stop the springs from bending farther down once it's engaged. The leaves which replace it will help but are not an equal as far as spring capacity is concerned. Obviously the ride will be enhanced because the springs are no longer prohibited from flexing once they hit a certain point unlike before. I designed these way back in July or August last year so I'm kind of surprised at the response of some new miracle cure which probably numerous spring shops have had out for quite some time because I'm sure I wasn't the first. Anyways, Deaver has a great reputation and I'm sure if they designed these for the Tundra then it's a good product but would be disappointed if they were designed for something else and being they're 2-1/4" wide that's probably the case.
