This might help but I would call them as they helped me when I was making my decision. Of course I haven’t driven the truck so I really don’t know how they work or feel.

I have the Bilstein B8 5165’s they are valved the same way at all four corners 700 compression and 2550 recoil. They are however a custom length as the ones for our trucks were too long for my application since I have all the custom mods. I have Tuff Country Softrides springs up front and stock k20 springs with ORD shackle flip kit in the rear with the overload and 1 spring removed. Like I said earlier I have not driven the truck yet so I am not sure how they will work together.
Let me know what you end up with and I hope I was of some help. |
Great looking project and killer attention to detail. I'm located in Fresno and help put on a show in town. Once your build is complete, I'd love if you brought it out to a show! We have Sat night shows on Sat night Sept 7th and Sat night Oct 5th which is our Rods on the Bluff show in Fresno and then we have our Valley Nationals show Oct 12th in Madera. There will be a C10 club area at the Valley Nationals show, if you can make it out.
Look forward to seeing your progress!
