Anybody running deaver coils. If so how do they stack up against some of the other brand? I see WH has a progressive coil too. Not sure if theirs are made by deaver or not.

I can only compare mine to the old progressives and 3" blocked up stock leaf pack that were under mine when I purchased it. The ride was terrible as was the handling.

Swapped in new 3 1/2" lift Deaver coils and leafs, all purchased at JBG, along with new bushings. Drove it this way for a while then added new Bilstein shocks. In my opinion, this is the way to go. Matched springs and new shocks...what a difference in ride stability and comfort.

I have Deaver springs on my bronco and they are great. They ride nice and smooth on the road and for the limited amount of off road use they get (no rock crawling) they perform well also.

I installed Deaver coils on mine 2 years ago. Did a 3 1/2" lift on the front and 2" in back by adding a leaf spring to level my Bronco. The Deaver coils are great.

Cool sounds like they are the way to go. Am also looking at the bilstein shocks to go along w them. What series do you have?

I run the 2 1/2" Deaver coils from JBG on my '72. Really nice ride, very happy so far. They are a linear coil, not progressive like many others.

Now can't find a bilstein shock that's tall enough for the 6" coils. Seems 4" lift is as tall as they go on their shocks. ???
Any body got any ideas???
