Help!! Bilstein 7100's (1 Viewer)

All the pro's!!!

Please give me your recommendations... I have a 94 fj80. 6" iron man lift. Bilstein 7100 shocks. Question is. What valving should I be running with this setup? Front and rear... Anyone hear have first hand experience with these shocks and close to this setup? Thanks. I could use all the input I can get. I talked to a guy at Bilstein. He said to run 255/70 front and rear. PO. Said he ran this and the truck was all over the road. Then he went to 400/100 in the front. He said that devinately wasn't right either. Help. I just don't want to waste time or money ordering wrong valving. Also what is the charge of nitrogen these shocks need? Thanks for the help in advance!!!

It really depends on your springs and weight. I've heard something like 390/130 worked for some. I think the nitrogen charge they like is around 200 for remote resis but bilstein's website has a better answer than this forum will.

OK... Thanks Nukegoat! Ive gotten some pretty good feedback on this... one thing I have heard from 2 techs at Bilstein is that unless I am carrying a huge amount of weight on the back of the truck, I am smart to valve the same front and rear. I think I am going to start with their recommendations of 255/70. Put everything back to that and then go from there...
