and to the O.P. Expy looks good!!! I just picked one up myself for a small project. I have to ask what did you use for the lowering kit and how does it ride?

Thanks Guys, they are holding up good even tho i dont run them much,

@ JD= I am running Front= a belltech 3in drop sring, belltech shocks and cam bolt alignment kit. Rear DJM 4in drop spring with belltech shocks, It rides good, only issue is the rearend hitting the frame on big dips or bad bridge ends, I have swapped the factory bumpstop out for a pankake one, and when loaded with luggage or towing it hits pretty bad. Im gonna get the airlift bags that go inside the spring, and if that doesnt cure it Im gonna have a c-notch cut in the frame.

Do you have a source for those? My lowered Expy hits the bump stops, too. With my 2/2 drop, I have about 1-1/2" of rear compression before they hit. Thankfully, they're very soft, and 3" tall, so the ride is still okay. I could cut them down. But if that doesn't work, I'll need something shorter. Thanks.
