    Hey all!

    So, it's getting to the time to do a little suspension refresh on my '06 and have my eye on the 5125/All-Pro expo leafs from wheelers offroad.

    Anyone have experience with this kit or similar setup? From my lurking it seemed as if the b110's were better with leaf packs giving a decent amount of lift,but in all honesty I don't really know anything and would much rather hear from people in the know.

    Any input is greatly appreciated!

    I worded it badly haha, I meant with taller leaf packs I'd heard the b110's worked better.

    Ok cool. Im less worried about being able to flex the crap out of it rather than being the right shocks to support those leafs.

    Thanks! :thumbsup:

    really depends on compressed shock length. B110's have a pretty long compressed shock lenght (good for those who use blocks for lift or a very thick leaf pack) but you might end up using the shock as a bumpstop.

    Only way to find out is get the leafs installed with the bumpstop setup you want and measure... then you can get an appropriate length shock.

    EDIT - also, you do want uptravel... so while you could space bumpstops and use a B110... you will probably limit uptravel quite a bit.

    I have chosen to go the 5125's of the part number listed with my OME EL095R pack and stock bumpstops for added droop but without sacrificing uptravel.
