try this:Dark Eternal said:that helps but DAMN, you cant hear shit there is so much background noise. Whoever made that video needs to be slapped.
Dark Eternal said:niiiiiice, now i nee to figure out teh valving i need :think:
Same here. I have Procomp shocks that came with my kit and am in the process of changing over. I have 4 short body 12 inchers in 170/60 valving. (AK7112SB) I am going to try these on the rear first. If they work out right I may go with the 180/75 in the front. Extra weight from the engine etc. If they are just a bit too stiff I live with them and run 170/60s in the front also. If they are way too stiff, I plan to move them to the front and go with 150/50 in the rear. Keep in mind that this in on a 1500 with the stock 10 bolt rear and 8.25 front. My reference point was someone who had a stock 1500HD. (IE still IFS and no axle swaps) He was running single 275/78 all around and said it was a bit stiffer than he would like.Dark Eternal said:duals front and rear
Sorry I disappeared last night. Suddenly I could not access the site.Dark Eternal said:hmm so maybe 220/75ish?
are they the reservoir type or the schrader valve type 7100s? There should be a clear sticker right at the top of the shock that has the serial number the part number and the valving on it. If you just have the part number I can tell you the valving.Dark Eternal said:ok cool, looks like 180/75 is what I will aim for. They are set stiff as hell right now whatever they are.
Hmmm there has to be a way to tell. It would be a damn shame for you to go to all that work if they are already 180/75s. They could fool you. It takes a fair amount of effort for me to collapse my 170/60s. I can't do it just holding it with both hands. I have to place the piston rod end on the ground and push down hard with both hands.Dark Eternal said:they are the ressies. It doesnt have a part number because they are sold as bilsteins. They are made by bilstein (identicle to teh 7100 except no stickers and a different colored hsoe) for full throttle to sell and a few other people use them as well I think.
