    Are you trying to keep the 6" lift? Each of those is ~3" so you'd need blocks (bad) or a custom leaf pack to stay at 6"

    3 inch lift with Toytec Boss and All Pro UCA's up front. AP expedition leafs with Bilstien 5100 shocks in the back. 255/85/16 Cooper S/T Max tires. All Pro skids, rear bumper and sliders, Hidden winch mount with XRC 8000 winch. Dual Optima batteries with IBS combiner/isolator and solar. CMC. Auto sliding rear window mod, hidden CB, CVJ axles and plenty of other little mods.
    I've had both OME and the AP's. IMHO, the OME's aren't even close. The AP's handle heavier loads better in off-road conditions, give a better ride, and have more articulation. The down side is that you need longer shocks/brake lines and they definitely rust.

    luckily I already have a 6 inch lift on the back so it should be a direct swap, how do you fix the rust issue?

    question, Will the expos make the rear sit too high if I want a LT setup in the front?

    No extra leaf. I've had second hand experience with that on a friend's truck...carries more weight, but rougher than a cob and no improvement in articulation. You're right though. It depends on what you want...and like. My next set might be some custom Alcan's. The AP's have a lot of life in them though.
    As for the rust thing...the Navy taught me to scrape and paint.

    Sorry to jack your thread OP but I was wondering the same thing. Ill be running Kings ext travel in the front and don't know what I should do with the rear. I was thinking about the Dakars (possible take one of the leafs off as i don't load the bed much), superbumps, fox 2.0 resi for 3.5 to 5" lift, and the relentless u bolt flip. Let me know what you guys think
