    So make it easy...go unbolt your shocks put your flip and brake lines on and measure what you need. If it's longer than the extended length of the king you may need a relocation

    Edit: At full droop of course

    Ya your right also cause the full compression could be what limits you

    It was more of an addition to what he said than a question.

    They give you like 1/8" less than a full 10" travel. I have the all pro expos which have a longer flex than dakars. I use to ride dakars. My kings give the expos a good flex without the shocks acting like a limit strap.

    I am thinking about going with the AllPro expos, are they worth it over the standard AllPro leafs? You're one of the few people I've seen run them.

    Here is a reply:

    The extended travel have -EXT after the standard part #.

    We can offer 10% off on UCAs and springs too for people that sign up.

    We don't swap springs out, but King offers in house swaps/builds.

    I will be checking with them about the cost and lead time... I'll let you know soon.

    As of right now only a soft topper and a spare will be back there. Eventually a rack and tent, but now for a little while after I do the lift.

    If its going to take you some time to get your rack, tent, and everything else, a progressive pack will work just fine. Even when you get all that, you still might be ok with a progressive pack. I'm looking at getting a set custom made by Atlas Suspension. They told me with the weight (between 750 and 800) that I have currently and will have, that their progressive pack will do just fine. If you can do with a little hard ride awhile, then go for the expos, only if you know you are going to being putting a good amount of weight. Does this help?
