    I'm not sure what the numbers were on the EXPOs but mine aren't in such great shape. Even without much weight in the back they don't sit like they used to. The extra Inch In shock travel is at full droop. We did that so the shocks would be acting as the limit straps.

    yeah, np, I'm not that knowledgeable in regards to the suspension setups, but I'm changing my setup in the hopefully not to distant future.

    Going to do the rear first. But eventually yea TC +2 kit up front. Just hope the axle issues get figured out with those. Seems guys on the trails have been popping them out.

    That looks real nice. I would take that a step further and end up making some sort of bolt on covers over each shock area to retain a stock look to it and keep junk out from flying up into the bed area.

    You would have to create a hinge like design somewhere to make it essentially an "access panel" so you are able to service or remove the shocks at any point if you ever need to.

    That LT rear is super nice. I saw something similar down here from a user who had a removable cross brace to the shock towers so that when not wheeling you can retain the bed space and not use it up. I would go Kings in the rear if it were me. Fox's do tend to rust if you get any salt/elements on them.

    Styfu does the owner of IMW have a build page on here? I was checking out Vin's LT rear at the HH meet a couple months ago and was super stoked on his set up. He has 18"ADS in the rear :drool: with the DMZ SUA kit.

    That's why it's imperative that you wash your undercarriage and shock components regularly to keep them from rusting out prematurely. I've had mine for about a year and a half riding through dirt sand mud and snow and I haven't seen not one witness of rusting to them.

    Definitely what she said :D

    Whydo you say that? Did your Fox shocks rust out?
