I'd like to get a set of the Deaver ftoy springs that Poly was selling back in the day. Anyone have a set they would be willing to get rid of?

my buddy has a set that we just took off his truck, I believe they are stock lenght front and longer than stock rear. If I had to guess they were around 2-3" of lift on the front of his 92 pickup and the rear sat just a little taller. An f-toy would have a little different front to rear weight bias so it should sit more level.

i have a full set of f-toy deavers on my 83 right now, one of these days when i link it (i have everything except shocks) i'll sell them. i dont have a ton of motivation since the deavers work so damn good though.:laughing::smokin:

if you're serious let me know so we can work something out. the springs are in great shape with minimal use.

Needing fronts only, the rear of my rig is linked. Let me know what you need out of them Billybob, and I'll see what I can do. I'm not really in a hurry for them, just trying to plan ahead.

i'd really like to trade the front springs and shackles for a pair of good used 2.0 16" airshocks. they dont have to look brand new, just work good with no leaks.
this shoiuld buy you some time to find someone to haul them up there since shipping springs is about $100.:eek::laughing:

hey billybob,

could you post up a pic of your truck with the deavers in it. My f-toy has deavers in it and im trying to figure out if they are just set up for almost all droop or if mine are just beat and I should replace even though they work great :D

thanks

here's a few pics. i have 5" uptravel and 7" down. maybe 3" of lift? not really sure, my rig sits high now but maybe it's just the tires. i'd lower it but i dont want to lose my much appreciated uptravel.:D

Nice, I didn't realize anyone made reverse eye springs for toy's, I'm planning on sending my old 4" allpro's too Alcan to have the top couple leaves replaced with some reverse eye leaves. Are you on 40's if so whats your Frame height?

yes, and it looks like 28" measuring from the dirt. pretty high compared to other rigs i've built but it's pretty wide and stable too.

Ya that's a little higher than I'm shooting for (26ish) with my 1tons and 39" krawlers. But that's allot of up travle though. Im gonna hope for 4" at that height. Sorry for the highjack.
