    Ha! Besides what are you rooting for the Beavers all the way up in Alaska for?



    Yeah, we all saw what happened at the Battle of the Palouse this year :rolleyes:

    Leach doesn't play nice....


    Did you go to that game?

    Yeah, I say I want to run mid travel. But who knows, by the time I have new leafs, a bed rack and tent, I may decide bumpers should be next haha

    Nothing wrong with the 5100's and Eibachs. I just want something smoother for the highway for those long trips to get to the trail/camping spot.

    Probably the All Pro Expos, but maybe Dakars. I've heard that once you put in the add-a-leaf on the Dakars to get that extra weight capacity, flex and comfort go out the door. So I figured the Expos will be better off for me.

    All of my family on my moms side went to OSU. And we don't have any teams up here so it was a logical choice. I graduated from university of alaska anchorage and we have division I hockey and division II basketball but that's it.

    Good to know, with camping gear, and RTT, and a rear bumper with tire carrier in the future I think Expos will be a good choice.

    All Pro Expos are niiiiice :)


    That's how I was with the WSU football program when I went there from fall of 2009 - spring of 2013... but then this year they are getting W's out of nowhere with the air raid offense :confused: damn I missed that gravy train



    Incorrect. The logical choice is always WSU :p

    No kidding just look how they held up with my trip to the dump (900 lbs) and then just recently with the trip to go deer/elk hunting (probably about the same in, maybe a little less in wood, gear and bringing back the meat)

    I figured stock shackles were good enough

    Okay so you just unbolted the stock shackles, switched out leafs and bolted everything back together?

    I plan to do frame plates, shock mounts and timbren bump stops/u-bolt flip at the same time.

    Yep that's exactly what I did. You make it sound so simple & easy :rolleyes:

    Yeah do it right the first time, cause otherwise you'll just end up having to re-do it or won't be satisfied

    Haha no, I'm sure when I do it I will spend all weekend on it.

    I just can't decide whether or not I should get new shackles. The Expos give more than enough lift.

    Yeah that's partly why I figured stock ones would be fine. The expos (for me) gave plenty more than the stated 3"
