    you are a bold fella skip. My 12” kings are going to be bumped and strapped. Have you had a shock apart to see the c clip that holds the shock together? It’s not much.

    The thickness of the deaver expo pack is basically a bump stop spacer, lol. Did you actually measure it eye to verify that you were at full compression?

    So I’m looking for new budget suspension that will handle a winch bumper along with a rack and waight in the back. I was thinking OME heavy kit is this a bad choice to hit the trails with you guys on this page

    I know what all holds them together. I'm not worried about it. They aren't getting unloaded hard enough or often enough to rip apart. I'm also running 2.5s

    Didn't need to measure my bumpstop wasn't completely compressed and my shock was completely compressed and the spring was in a slight negative curve.

    You got room for shock hoops and longer shocks, looks like there is a good bit more down travel left on the shackles too. :muscleflexing:

    It's a good set up. They do really well for what they are.

    I second the Dobinson's springs too. Mine have been great for over a year now and not a single squeek out of them either.
