How much lift did you get out of the Deaver Mini-Pack? Eco-Beast and I are both wondering as we each have a set waiting for installation.

Hmmm. Good question. I don't actually know. If I were to guess, I'd say maybe an inch? You'll remove your overload leaf and your block. If memory serves me right, that will be removing about 13/4"? Then you're adding in the leaf back which is approx 2". Then, you'll want to take into account that the leaf pack has a higher spring rate, although much more progressive. So, you get a little less sag... So maybe 1/2"?

I really liked the upgrade... One of my favorites. The one small drawback for me was the lift. I'd prefer it didn't lift it at all, but that's just my preference.


Something to keep in mind. I didn't realize this until I finished and installed my bed rack, but the leafs work REALLY smooth with some preload. If you have the option, have some weight in the bed. I have a couple of spares (the one under the bed has been removed) and a Pelican case full of tools and recovery gear behind my rear axle. The ride quality both on and off road is amazing! It's sooo smooth and progressive. I didn't really notice what a difference it made until I removed it all from the truck when I dropped the rack off at the powder coaters.

Good luck guys!

I do. BUT...I have tried MANY times to load them AND have tried different sizes. For whatever reason, I can never get any other size to load and I spent WAY too much time trying to figure it out. I gave up!
