Are the Bilstein's adjustable? If not which valving would be good for the inboard shock mount to eliminate body roll but still a soft ride? I need 4 shocks and may get in on these if they will work good for my app ;D

360/80's are definitely what you want for the fronts. 255/70s work well in the rear. I had them on inboard mounts and now have them mounted outboard. Work well in both locations.

I am interested as well. I have a stock Bronco, but it is sagging a bit. The wheel well is rubbing on the tire. I think I need about and inch lift or so. What that be the 5100's?

I would need at least 4 maybe 6 7100's. I dont have my lift yet but I dont want to miss out on this. Could I tell what length I would need just by knowing the size of my lift that I will be getting???

If possible and the price were right I'd like a set of four for my Lightning as well.

I will be buying 4 bilsteins very soon. I am undecided between the 5150s and the 7100s. I just need to finish my wiring so I can do some ramp measurements on my new cross inboard mounts and determine the right length shock. What valving are people using on the rear shocks? This is a streetable truck that I want good articulation out of. 3.5" of suspension lift and 2 inch body lift w/ 33" tires (next set will be either 35" or 36").

I'm in for the mass buy if the price is right and the selection is good.
