Along with the trans I need to replace my leaf springs. No issues with the OEM replacements, but ultimately I think i'll need some traction aids whether they be caltracs or track bars or something else. Since the OEM springs w/ bolts are just under $400, and track bars or caltracs would double that cost, I figured it might be worth it to consider Deaver springs.
I am staying at stock height and they said they'd fab up a set for a 7-10 week delivery time. Wondering what benefits a progressive pack could/would have. On their lift springs they claim to eliminate axle wrap, but that's obviously due to not having to use a block. I'm wondering, being more compliant, how the deavers will mitigate axle wrap overall. If they contribute to eliminating it, I might not have to get clatracs, and then end up saving money on the more expensive springs. So, anyone used em? What do you think?
End all be all, i'll probably end up in the 550whp range and around 1k +/- torque range. I like a firm and controlled ride and I drive very aggressively. Just looking to keep the axle planted. The deaver ride quality increase would just be a bonus.

Would be fun to get the back to slip out a little easier as well.
