    Considering your setup and the weight and height differences I think 881's will suit me fine. Then I can adjust my height later when I get a bumper using the 5100 series shocks different settings.

    I have read good things about Alcan. What made me consider Deaver instead is location. I can pick up a set of custom Deavers on my lunch break and save the shipping cost, I work in a nearby city. I was also scared away by Alcan list of specs they wanted me to provide. I don't know how to get...
