    Man that looks sketchy! WAY too long for the narrow attachment points. I could see that UCA easily twisting the coil bucket from the amount of leverage it has.

    Personally, I'd like to see a third attachment/pivot point and additional tube forward of the coil bucket to add some triangulation to the setup.

    look close... it is set up with two plates on either side of the upper arm inner pivots... tons of plate sticking up with only one weld holding it to the frame... no bracing.. no gussets.... that thing would take one good hit and both those uppers are coming off.

    I'm looking to do something to my rear end to avoid hitting my bump stops all day until i drop the dough for the rear LT. now the question is if i put the all pro expedition leafs with say a 5100 or 5150 is it going to be at least better than my stock rear end and not work against my front LT. or is anything better than stock...

    You will waste your money. No matter what you do the rear is not going to keep up with the front unless you drop some coin. Its not really worth it if you are going LT in the rear anytime soon

    even if my rear end bottoms out real easily? I'm not looking for it to keep up I'm looking for it to not bottom out as harsh. i understand its a waste but it looks like AAL and some shocks are 300 bucks.

    Full droop to full bump against the frame rail, with no bumps and no shocks was just over 16". Lost about 1/2 inch with the 14's One could notch the frame to get more out of the leaf pack tho. This is comfortable for me.
