@d.shaw how do you like the Deaver U402 stage 3? I’m getting ready to order a set of leaf springs and stuck between stage 2 and 3. The truck will have a very similar setup to your’s and I’m wondering how it feels around town with just the GFC and swingout vs loaded out for a trip.
personally love them - they def handle the weight when fully loaded and are not terrible when cruising around town ‘unloaded’ - fully loaded thou they are impressive - i had a dakar HD prior to these, night and day difference - this pic is them loaded 10 gallons of fuel, 10 gallons of water and all our stuff
Are you traveling with kids (I thought I saw one in a picture). I am picking my GFC up soon and also have a DCSB. I’m wondering how you all fit back there. We’ve build a platform for the kids in the bed of the truck.
my son lives on the east coast so we recently slept the three of us up there, in sleeping bags and he is as tall as me - like 5’11. was just three nights thou, and we tried to have his head opposite to ours except didnt work when the truck wasnt really level it was totally fine. having said that he is only out west a couple times a year so -
my gf daughter is tiny so it doesnt make any real difference - and she only comes out a few times - if it becomes more frequent i will build a platform or bring a ground tent (for me clearly…) or when it is all four of us we bring ground tent. currently (until be put another camper on my gf third gen)
I recently installed Deavers Stage 3 and developed driveshaft vibrations. Anyone that has setup has any vibs? If so, what was your fix? Thanks in advance.
I did and they said try to doing shims on the carrier bearing and/or different degrees shims under the leaf pack. I was hoping for alternative solutions, but thinking it will be the only way to get rid of the vibs
That is the only way I’ve been able to solve vibrations under typical driving conditions. The vibrations definitely dissipate when I add weight to the bed.
Thanks for the response. Hopefully with the addition of the GFC within the next weeks, it would help vibrations. I will report back and provide an update down the road.
weight might help, for sure. for me after selling my cap and before the gfc, the swingout and my pelican case that contains all my recovery gear / tools probably added enough to keep any vibrations at bay
