    Helps me to remember to measure my extended and compressed lengths, then call whoever I'm buying from to ask what lengths the offer! Hope you get it all figured out soon!

    It would work for the advertised 3" lift that All Pro says the Expo's give. But Realistically the Expos give much more lift than that. So I think that's why everybody said it would work.

    untill i find real measurements of the shocks. Im not gonna say 100% they won't work..but from the sounds of it..they are to short.

    but if it makes ya feel any better i did the same thing..haha i also drove for over a week with no shocks waiting for my new ones.

    Yup, I'll probably run into the same issue when I get Expo's because I'm not going to buy new shocks until I brace the frame and weld in a crossmember. So hopefully my 5100's won't completely blow immediately... Haha :eek:

    So from what it sounds like those icons will work great with 1.5-2" lift?

    Yes, they work with 2"-3" as advertised, but Expos give much more lift than that. Which requires you to call whoever you're ordering shocks from to confirm the shock length will work.

    I was making sure they'd work with my springs (when they get rebuilt) if I were to get my mitts on them.

    They would work with 2'' of lift good yea

    noooo. I drove without the shocks once i add the AAL and was like..wow..my shocks have .5'' of up travel left..haha

    take em off for now. Put some weight in the back and you'll be fine for in town driving. Just don't do any highway stuff.
