I seem to be reading conflicting information on the 3 leaf Deaver AAL. I have read I will get anywhere in the ranges of 1.5" to 3.5" after they have completely sagged (without a shackle). Just looking to get a little more solid info. My budget is tight and if I can save $60 and not buy a shackle I could definitely put it to better use. (gas haha)

The should get you about 1.5 inches.
