Just curious as to why you would bob the bed for an expedition rig? Part of what makes an expedition rig an expedition rig is dry storage space. I would add a rear cover assuming it's not a 4Runner.

I would go with a modest lift (e.g. OME 2.5"), heavy duty bumpers front and rear, 31" or 33" tires (which will set your gear ratio), and some kind of locker(s) (front, rear or both).

Most importantly, I would make sure that all the maintenance is done and done right and all the fluids are maintained properly.

Add some lights, dual batteries, some extra 12V outlets and you're good to go. No?
