    Just go to alcan or deaver and get some custom leaf packs that handle more weight than Expos so you don't sag so much with the weight on. You may have to sacrifice your DD ride for your expo ride. (ie harsh ride when unloaded and nice ride when loaded up). And maybe have a little sting bug when loaded down to get you off those bumps.

    new leaf pack
    12" shocks
    hydro/air bumps
    convince kayla this is all necessary :D

    So did I. Got shit handled here at home. I'll be solo but I'll be there. Probably have more hangovers since I'm camping and the wife can't make it but I'm sure I'll survive

    Keep in mind Bob, running a hydro bump in the rear on a SOA setup does add additional noises. Mine stroke at 2.5" and thats bascally half of the up travel so you hear them tapping a lot. They are nice for the harsh bumps, really as nice as youre gonna get while staying SOA. At the end of the day there is only so much a shock/bump can do with 5" to work with. Now if you are cycling the rear at speed and its dropping out then compressing its much more effective, the shock has more time to do its thing.
    At the end of the day the hydros certainly do help but you are still dealing with a very small amount of uptravel
