I know you ended up with Gabriel Guardians, but I saw in some posts on fsjnetwork you were leaning toward Bilstein 5100s in the 255/70 valving? Did you ever figure out that valving?
I'm shopping for Bilstein shocks in the universal lengths and I see 255/70 or 170/60 as valving options. I know our Wagoneers are heavier rigs, but I also want a pretty smooth and soft on-street ride, and plan on keeping the swaybar.
Also, what size did you go with? I think I'm looking at about a 22.5" extended and 14" compressed shock - does that sound right? And what made you go with the Guardians instead of the 5100s?
Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for the help!
