Well there's only three 14 inch travel 5125's.
Travel Valving Ext. Collapsed
F4-BE5-6250-H5 14.30 255/70 34.90 20.75
$75.70
F4-BE5-6250-T5 14.30 298/36 34.90 20.75
$75.70
F4-BE5-6250-T7 14.30 270/50 34.90 20.75
$75.70

I'm really new at off road performance shocks. I know the valving has a lot to do with how stiff the shock is and how it rides, but how do the numbers relate to the stiffness?
I would call bilstien and ask for their opinion, they should be able to tell you the best shock to run with your set-up

I think you will be better off getting the expo over the yota. even throw it will cost more to finish the exp will be a competitive truck. and the yota being mild steel it is not better built then the ranger if by a daily driver the put the extra money in making the ranger score legal.

I think when you said something about the Expo, he thought you meant Explorer.

What you could do, is build a bumper that incorporates a couple small cheap little round tail lights, then add a pair of backup lights to your bed cage on the horizontal bar next to the tire.
