    I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the napa Pump it appears identical to the oem. I spent the extra 20 to get a brand new one for 160 as opposed to a remaned one. They also didnt want my core so I can do some research and get a rebuild done on it for a trail spare!

    If you think you're due I would look soon. I think I got the last new one in CA. Whoever is making them has probably shifted production long ago for newer pumps

    All Pro Expo leafs and U bolt flip kit ordered:evil: Have to decide on 2.0 or 2.5 Kings for the rear. Length will be determined after I break the new leaf pack down and measure droop and mounting points.
    I also finally got my truck dirty again,
    Camping with the Nor Cal TW crew was pretty legendary. It was good to get some fresh air too. Rear leafs and shocks have the ride up the mountain a very butt clenching affair, hence why I finally dropped the dough.

    What made you go with expos? You don't have an RTT right? Jelly on the Kings!

    Lol in the nor cal crew its pretty much Kings or gtfo, and my front kings ride like a dream so I really want my rear suspension to match.
    I got expos so I can carry weight while wheeling. Im either building or buying a rear bumper by the end of summer and 150-250 pounds of camp gear and spare parts add up fast and I feel the expos will maintain ride better. And if they turn out to be too much I just pop a couple sandbags in the bed until I find the time to take a leaf or two out!

    I have been super pleased with my Expos so far! With the RTT, they ride really nice, and with a load of camp gear, they're downright plush. When I went wheeling a week or so ago, I didn't have the RTT mounted, and they still flexed beautifully.

    Thats excellent they're working for you. I figure with the size of that pack I can really tune them to my liking. And if I ever do jump on the rtt wagon (not likely soon) I know my leafs can take it!

    That's a screaming deal, Rob! Can't see the remote being too much. Where are you gonna locate the solenoid? I'm still trying to find a good spot for mine.

    I need to do some electrical mapping/ work. Still debating on a box in the bed and set up my dual batteries back there then put the solenoid in the stock battery spot with my bussman box

    I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Maybe make a bracket that will mount the contactor and my ARB Twin in the stock battery location. Need to find a home for both anyway.

    Not a bad Idea! I might make some battery cage/ brackets instead of a whole bed box too. OBA is on the list too, im going to put that on passenger side next to the cruise control box
