Suspension Is nearly complete for the Durango project. So I am in search for shocks for the truck. I have Bilstien shocks on the XJ and have been very happy with their ride quality, but have been a little disappionted in how they react to sudden impacts and quick body roll in certan situations. Thay were what was suggested for my Rubicon Express lift, but I have no idea what valving they came with. So I've been looking at the 7100 series Billstien shocks they offer 7 different valving options. I'm leaning torward the stiffest valving. These are my options:

150/50
170/60
180/75
255/70
275/78
360/80

Let me know what your guys thoughts are on shock valving.:patriot:

I don't know anything about shock valving.... I run billstien something or others... and all I know is they are softer than the skyjacker cheapies I've always ran. I just got them this winter and don't have much time on them, so I'll have a more informed opinion later on this summer.

I dont even know what my valvin gis, it was on the tags when I got the shocks. I told the guys at King about how much the truck weighed and what type of driving I was doing, i.e. low speed and they valved them accordingly. I am happy with the way it rides, especially with some gear in the back. I would call them and tell them your vehicle specs and they should help you out.
