for the past few weeks I had been running Deavers G9 leaf packs which they build for JeepSpeed. I got a pretty good deal on them since they were take-offs. Even just installing 1 of them, I noticed a very nice improvement.
Quick Specs on Deaver G9's:
* 4" lift
* 10 leaf
* Military wrap / English eye
* longer, thinner, more leafs for improved ride and flexing.
* Requires boomerang shackles
Quick Specs on the Deaver Custom Built Pack
* approx 4.5-5"
* 11 leaf
* Military wrap / English eye
* longer, thinner, more leafs for improved ride and flexing.
* Requires boomerang shackles
Here are some pics comparing the different leaf packs. Added hi-res so you can see the details:
1. Top leaf is Rusty's 4.5
2 and 3 in the middle are the Deaver Custom Built Packs
4. Bottom leaf pack is the Deaver G9s
Notice the supporting leaf near the shackle eye on the custom built pack vs the G9's:
The other difference is that the G9's dont run spring pads. This is so dirt and little rocks dont build up between the leafs.
So if you carry lots of weight and want more lift than 4", the custom packs are ideal. So far, I am REALLY impressed with the difference in ride on the street. I havent had a change to flex out the custom packs but the G9s definitely flex alot better than anything I've owned.
Deaver customer service is personal and excellent. Jeff took the time to measure and find out what I really needed instead of pushing me out the door with any off-the-shelf product.

If anyone is interested, we could do a group buy for the custom built packs to get bulk discount to bring the price down but would need atleast 6 pre-orders.
