I'm thinking of the RTE 3" (new springs). You guys running the bilsteins, what lift are you using and what is your opinion on valving/performance? | ||

I'm curious as well. Can I run 7100's in back and OEM repalcement bilstiens in front or is the valving drastically different. reason I ask is that I run sway bar disconnects in the rear only and with the mild 1.5" lift (OME) that I plan to run I dont think I'll need it in the front but in the rear even stock I'm limeted in droop by the Bilstien shocks that I put in there (again, just standard replacement units). Thanks Todd | ||

Todd, I don't think you need 7100 in the rear, with that lift, you'd probably be fine with the 10" 6100. The valving on the shocks is rated compression/rebound. There's a certain D1 owner I was out with on Sun who has the RTE 3" (w/spacers) and 6100/7100 combo valved at F:275/78, R:360/80, appears to be very pleased all the way around. My initial gut says that with the heavier D2, to go with 360/80 at each corner and HD springs. | ||
