wild horses does not sell deavers. they are their own spec. they work well.

springs are only part of the equasion. you need to think about what shocks you plan to use to control the spring. good springs with bad shocks still won't work well & vice versa.

This!

I felt an amazing improvement when I put on the Wild Horses 11 pack springs however they really woke up when I added a set of in boarded bilstien 7100's

BC has kind of a hybrid 9 pack that some say is the best on-road riding suspension leaf. They're all far better than stock so I might lean toward whoever gives you the cheapest overall price with shipping included.

Deaver Leafs are great but for the best ride swap out your coils and shocks too.

Right after I bought my rig I replaced the factory 5 pack leafs and 3 " blocks with the 11 pack Deaver leafs from JBG, drove it 970 miles to Maine.

Needed coils to replace the old junk, installed new Deaver coils and replaced the suspension bushings at the same time....drove it like that for about 6 month's.

Figured it was time for shocks so I installed new Bilstein 5100's and now it rides better than my pickup.

When I changed out my Rancho 5000's for Bilstein 7100's, I really noticed how bad my steering geometry was. Now that the suspension actually moves. All better now. I have Deaver 4.5 leafs and Duff 3.5 coils.
