    Done but am home and have some problems. Ome shocks were fine and as I was just getting home noticed some popping. I look and there is almost a quarter inch sticking up through the top where the stem comes through on the front shock mount. There are no threads left to go down. It was fine when I left earlier. I can't post pics since I'm on my phone trying to work this out

    Looks sweet...How much weight do you think you have in the bed/toolbox? This is like the only picture I've seen of how the Expo's sit when they are pretty much unloaded.

    Are your stock bumps even long enough for the Expo's? I would be surprised if you hit your bumps before your shocks bottomed out.
