Hi Guys. I am setting up my rear bump stops. Does anyone know how thick the Deaver G09 springs? I want to set it up for the Deavers, but I don't have a set yet. I called Deaver and they told me 2 3/4 to 3". I am looking for the exact measurement. I hate doing things twice.
 
How do you plan on setting up your bumps without mocking your springs up?

i was thinking the same thing. you need to set the bump wherever it needs to be to keep the spring from going too far into a negative arch. gotta have the springs in to do that.
 
I have a 4.5 lift spring in it right now. I was just going to use the main spring and place a spacer with the right thickness under the main spring. I was going to do an inch of negative arch. I was thinking the main spring should be the same, maybe just a differnet length. I do not think the length would make a difference or would it?
 
I have been trying to do a low budget build. I have bought alot of my stuff off of Dezert Rangers and here. I would love to buy a set of deavers now, but that is not in the budget. I thought if I could set the height for the deavers now, I would be good to go when funds become available.
 
What kind of bumps are you planning on running? A poly bump? Air bump? Either way, you could set for the springs you have now, with an adjustable pad on the other end. Say you're running poly bumps, bolt another inch or two high worth of spacer underneath it, or where the pad contacts.

If you're running air bumps, make the contact pad taller the same way until you can get the Deavers.

You're going to run into shock bumping issues at that point though... I don't know what your plan is for shock mounting, there's a lot of info we need to know to give you an answer.
 
Thanks Crazyjim. I already have a set of boomerang shackles installed. Well, shucks. Thank you for your response. Now I just have to find some place to buy the 2.25 dom.
 
These are my g9s.. Idk if that's different than a g09
