    Yessir, there is one on the back as well. They are connected to an ARB CKMTA 12 Twin compressor behind the drivers side rear seat.

    As with everything on that truck... well done! Do you have a tank with it as well or are you just using the compressor? I want to replace my OBA with that and I am wondering if I should get a tank going with the rebuild.

    No tank yet but its on the "to-do" list. I plan to put it up where the spare tire used to go. The
    $650 ARB CKMTA12 '12V' On-Board Twin High Performance Air Compressor, Ideal for Air Lockers Locking Differentials, Tire Inflator, Air Horn, Air Tools and Pneumatic Tools.
    ARB CKMTA12 is a beast but the a small 1-2 gallon tank would help take some pressure off the compressor.

    Good info. I am hoping ARB pulls another special soon where when you by a locker you can get the compressor I believe it was... free? Or half price? Gonna lock the front.
    No wavy on mine. But they are getting a bit straighter now as the weight on the bed increases. And they rust all the time. Looking at a custom set of Alcan's here soon.

    I've got expos too and I carry about 350 lbs weight in the back always. The ride is perfect but they have sagged a bit and was wondering what you meant by wavy? I've towed a semi-heavy trailer cross country with them as well and they have been nothing short of awesome, I just hope they don't deteriorate to quickly!

    BTW rig is looking excellent these days MrGrimm :D

    Not wavy but then again they are only like 4 months old.

    I think that compressor is their regular compressor, the CKMA.

    That is one thing about the All-Pro Expo springs, mine are only 4 months old and are rusting worse than the OME Dakars that I had on. I may just go back to Dakars with the extra leaf added on.

    how much weight are you running? Mine are rusting too but nothing more than normal... I'm looking at it as a wear item I guess for how much abuse they take.

    Good point on the compressor. I want to go twin so I will just buy.

    On the leafs do you have a shackle flip? RockyMtnTRD and I are going to work wiith Alcan on springs designed for a shackle flip. And my set will be a bit heavier for EXPO style wheeling. They build great springs. Watch our build threads for results.

    I am running about 350lbs. above empty bed with my bed rack and tool box. But I also have a shackle flip with stock bump stops allowing for a bit more of negative arch when flexing. This could speed up the wear a bit. But as you stated it is a wear part that will need to be replaced.

    Will do! I'm not running a shackle flip. I've thought about it and almost had CBI do it for me since I'm close to them but currently I'm not having clearance issues with the reverse style and my droop is working out okay.
