i'm online looking at shocks for my rig and have settled on the Bilstein 7100 10" with reservoir (unless someone has another suggestion). I've never dealt with shock valving before and i'm not sure which to order/expect from each.

Valving Options:
+ 360/80
+ 275/78 Commonly used in single shock applications
+ 255/70
+ 180/75 Commonly used in dual shock applications
+ 150/50

The truck is on 38's and is a daily driver, i'd like it to have nice street manners (think sports car) :finger2:

360/80, 275/78 or 255/70?

I got bilstein 5150s on the rear of my 07 i love them, i think i went with the lighter valving because it was the rear of the truck.

I went with the 255/70. If they are too mushy I can spend $10 and rebuild them with different plates. :cheers:
