550 then? (Just looking at the shock specs. Not sure what factory spring rate actually is)

Front weight variables: Modular bumper, full Ford OEM skids, RCI transmission and crossmember skids, 2.7, ADV hood, factory rock rails, Amazon special step rails, 215lbs of fatass behind the wheel.
Yes. 235 in the front, 550 in the rear.
The numbers are right, just backwards
@ScLeCo is running portals, but my understanding from the recommended changes to our shim stack is that you’ll actually want to increase compression to accommodate the additional motion ratio(?) but, that would make his ride even stiffer. Any input from @AccuTune Offroad?
I have these shocks coming from Accutune, was a hard decision to spend the money. Hope I'm surprised how well the ride compared to stock.

Vs the Hitachi springs - an insane upgrade.
Vs the Bilstein springs, at least the reservoir won’t fall off.
I should of given more details, bilstien with eibach springs
Hi @ScLeCo
I’m sorry to hear these shocks still seem to stiff to you. You are correct that ride quality is subjective, but If you’re unhappy with the ride quality, we are happy to take the shocks back and re-work the valving. I believe our sales team last contacted you early September to discuss some options, but we’ve not heard back. We're still more than happy to help with the ride quality concerns you brought up. Ultimately this kind of feedback will only help us get better. If you’re interested in getting our help, please contact us today and we can work out some options for you. We look forward to hearing from you! 619-722-8555

This response makes my heart happy.
And hell you guys aren't even putting your customers in literal danger. The bouncey bounce just isn't the correct amount of bounce to this one customer.
Will you be installing yourself? will you be installing them right away? any idea when they will be arriving?
Im very close to pulling the trigger on either these or Kings, just hoping to get some more feedback before choosing.

I will have to make the time, should be here this week. I chose these over the kings because I think they will have better flow then others. I have a set of kings that were on my ram and wasn't impressed. I do have 2.5 fox dcs on my tremor and they are great. That was my other choice. Also was considering 8112 bilstiens also but what if they needed rebuilt.
Are Bilsteins difficult to service compared to the others?
Being that they have 5 stages of valving may make them harder to tune up, but can't be 100.% sure. I know if I was made of money I would have a set of everything and try them out. I'm looking for the best ride possible.
I was legitimately asking. Not sure what is needed for servicing their stuff. Regardless of which brand we have I’ll probably ship them back to get them serviced

Have to take into consideration most Bilstiens are Digressive valving, I know my 6100s are, they ride different for sure. I would say harsher than progressive valving. Ride shocks are on my radar for sure.
