Think I am going to pull the trigger on the standard weight APG Deaver leaf spring pack. I'd like to do a driveway install. Any tips or tricks you would guys have?

How many beers will I need? etc.

Assumong that the install is similar to Old Man EMU and the factory springs make sure you connect the shackles first then connect to the frame. For the most part a strait forward process.

Also no promise that will take care of the lean

its a 3 beer job to start anything underneath the truck.

but always budget for the whoopsies and get a 24 pack.
30 pack if you're in Wisconsin.

Wait, I could buy the full OME springs and shocks kit f/r for the price of just these rear springs.

Why would I buy the Deavers?

Lean originates from the front unfortunately, but interested in the Deaver install.

i'll try and take some pics once I decide i'm definitely going for it. went back and forth with someone at APG and he was saying the mono-leafs settle a lot faster than the deavers and confirmed your statement about the fronts.

Will keep everyone in the loop.

That'll only get you to setting the jack stands, while your "help" jeers you on.
