Need shocks bad and am looking at Bilstein 5150s for the front and 5100/5125s for the rear (or possibly all around).

Guess I'm gonna have to get universal types though since I'm installin bar-pin/stem eliminators. I can figure the lengths out, but any suggestions on valving?

Also, how does long arm vs. short arm effect shock choice? It's referenced quite a bit in application guides... I don't know whether to consider mine long arm or not, since I'll be goin to long arms in the front eventually...

Gonna call Bilstein later today, but was gonna see what all you experts had to say

255/70 for valving short arm long arm doesn't matter

Sweet. I've heard everything from 161/72 Digressive to 360/80, which seemed a bit ridiculous...

I ended up gettin 255/70s front and rear. 9" 5125s for the rear and 12" 5150s for the front. It's a pitty the 11" 5150s only come in 170/60 though, cause the 12" ones will be a bit long...
