    Damn, wish I lived there....lol!

    Me? Haven't installed my AP's yet but David (YumaTRD) measured them out to 26.5" extended and I'm guessing they compress to 16-16.5"? My 1.5" aal compressed to 16" but the AP leafs are thicker and have a .5" flip plate raising the bump stop! I'll bolt it up and cycle it to compression and measure mount to mount. Running superbumps which are 4.5" tall and compress to 3"!

    did you take apart the All Pro pack or use the main spring on the stock pack to cycle for compression?

    since you've already done that hoop set up for your lil bro, how much would you charge to make another set of hoops just like that?

    12" double bypasses :D

    We're going to be using an air bump so probably a little more uptravel than the rubber bumps

    Installed my AP standards this week and really like them so far! Smooth and controled and pretty solid feeling all around. Don't think I'm getting the travel numbers I was looking for though. These do have some miles on them as I bought them from another member but not sure what's up?

    Ride heigth is about 21" (measuring the shock from mount to mount), compression is around 17" and droop being around 25.5".....I know these leafs are capable of more droop than this since David (YumaTRD) measured his at 26.5". 4" of up travel in def not enough to run through whoops or hit anything with speed!

    So honestly to make this set up perform well, you'll need to move the shock locations and air bump it.......no way around it! What Supermoto did with his bro's truck is spot on! Don't get me wrong, I really like these but the bolt on AP kit won't get the job done in the long run!

    ATO front skid (need more but icon's might fail if I hang anything else from my truck) All-Pro front bumper thanks to a good deal here and a pesky encounter with a rock or 20, total chaos uppers.
    While your at it what would you charge for a set of hoops and to relocate the shock (pretty much your brothers set up)?

    what size shock are u running? because ur saying that those springs only have 8.5" of travel:confused:

    if thats the case then i think there is something wrong with your leaf pack because i have the "lifted application" king 2.5s and the AP standard pack and can flex out the 11" (pretty close to that) of travel the shocks are good for. Im pretty sure Landon only had to move the lower shock mounting spot because the stock wheels have no offset and the shock wouldnt fit in the stock location, not because he couldnt achieve any performance out of it

    Ya, I thought they had more travel too? I have the RCD 5100's and they measure 16.35"-27"+

    I plan on running a longer 2.5" icon similar to yours at some point. Maybe they need to break in more?

    Can you take some quick measurements?
