FOX shocks revalving question for LR DII

i'm buying a used set of FOX 2.0 remote resi 10" travel shocks for the rear of my DII on monday and i'm going to order a rebuild kit and new valve stacks to adjust the compression and rebound to be perfectly suited for my DII.

i'm done a good bit of reading and there have been people saying to use either 85/95 or 90/100 compression/rebound. however, on polyperformance, where i'm buying all the rebuild parts, the stacks only go up to #90.

so do i buy two separate stacks to get the 95 or 100 rebound? for the 95 i would get the 65 and 30 rebound stacks, and for the 100, i would buy the 70 and 30 rebound stacks and put them together?

i'm running 2" RTE MD springs and a 1" spacer. i keep a cargo box, all my tools, and most of my camping gear in my car at one time. it has a steel rear bumper and sliders,etc...

i just want to make sure i rebuild these correctly. i'm order all new seals as well.

will i need misalignment spacers for either or both the top and lower mounts on my DII? anything else i should be aware of to bolt these up?

should i put new oil in while i'm at it? and would a gallon or a quart of Fox oil be necessary for two shocks?

Shock valving is like opening Pandora's box...

My advice is to install the shocks first, then make some notes on what you don't like, then try tuning them. Every vehicle and more importantly every driver is a little different in there tastes/driving style. I don't think that one valving is going to work for all drivers.

As far as your shim stack questions. As far as I know you do not add stacks together. The possible exception being a 'flutter' stack. You can mix and match all the shims you want. I would recommend small changes till you find something you personally like. Perhaps go off the recommendations of others for the initial purchase, but then its up to you and your own butt dyno to figure out what you want.

that's what i'm talking about. either way, the site does not list any #95 or #100 stacks, so i'd have to mix the shims, but my question is what exactly should i order to get a #95 or #100 rebound rate?

Can you find a listing for 100?
You might try ordering them from Mirage. I called them and asked them to send their recommended stacks for my FJ60 as a place to start.
