from left to right. Sorry if the angles aren’t the best for showing this.

How the truck sat after the factory lift kit, with no gear, no topper.

After the topper. (Topper doors open) you can see it squatted it.

With the topper, gear, and my little old Lund. Really squatted!

At the gas station, after installing the deavers. Topper and gear. Returned to factory lift kit height. Rear end a little height then front.

Topper, gear, unloaded Xpedition (in dealer parking lot). You can see I squats the rear to level with the front.

These are the ones I was looking for!

Measured from the floor to the bottom of the rear wheel flare.

38 1/4”: Measured after I had the factory lift kit installed. No gear. No topper.

36 1/2”: Factory springs. Squatted under the weight of the topper and my normal gear.

39”: Deavers, topper and gear, right after installing them. It’s since settled to about 38 1/2”. Right about where it was with factory springs, no gear, no topper.

Have not measured it with the Xpedition yet. But it doesn’t sag it too much.

They ride great. After I installed them I took it for a drive and kept turning around to go back over the rail road tracks!

Awesome!! That's very helpful! Thanks so much man! I'll definitely have to look into those 1" deavers!

Glad to be of assistance!

I was thinking about it. Probably actually sits a little higher. The first measurement was taken on brand new tires. The last one was taken with them at the wear bars.

Again, VERY happy with how they ride!
