Anyone using Bill/Teamwest's custom 11 spring Deavers?

I didn't get any replies regarding my question about the Deaver 3-leaf progressive add-a-leafs.

So for those with the 11 spring custom leaf pack bought through Teamwest how do you like them? Any issues/problems? Do they ride/handle like you thought/wanted them to?

Comments appreciated.

It's a good rear suspension choice if it's your daily driver and do some good offroading. So far I've had no issue except for flexing sounds due to offroading a few weeks ago in the dirt. The ride is nice and smooth! The handling is a little bit better around corners, but you mainly notice the best difference on off road. Ask Bill for more details or try searching for the word "deavers".

I have them on my D-cab. I couldn't live without them. Are you going to get some Bilstein 5100's too ? The truck felt just right after I put them in. I havn't had any issues or problems with them, but then I again I havn't been jumping my truck... ***Cough, Cough, Fastmhz.

The truck feels very planted, firm and smooth.

Does this affect payload in any way (better or worse)?

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I already talked to Bill last week. But I wanted to hear up to date owner comments about them also. Glad to hear the positive comments about the leafs. That definitely helps me with my decision & what I'm going to buy.
