Actually, even though Eibach says their springs are progressive, they aren't. The initial coils compress completely and the effective spring rate of the rear springs is a linear 337 lbs, a nice increase of 112 lbs over stock. The only reason for the 125 lb coils (which compress under static load) is to keep the stock install height and avoid the need for limiting straps (like Belltech uses). This prevents the loss of a coil from the truck topping out. So their springs are not really progressive rate. It took me a few calls to get the straight scoop on that....

What blows me away is how small of a diameter the Bilsteins are...they look way too small for a truck that weighs as much as mine. I am leaning toward revalving, but wondering if I don't need a bigger body shock.

Mr. Sandog

No I haven't...where do I find those?

it's not a phenomenon, it's called compression dampening

if your that unhappy with them, take them to bilstien, they should be able to hook you up

Mr. Sandog

I've already talked with them and they've already said they would revalve them, I'm just checking my other options via everyone's experience here.

for free?

Mr. Sandog

You sure it's not a phenomenon called compression dampening?

Mr. Sandog

Unfortunately no.

how much they want?

Mr. Sandog

I don't remember, I think it was $49 each or $79 each or something like that. Problem is, they'd have them for a while (2-3 weeks)....and I'd be without my truck. So in all actuality, I'd have to buy a new set and have THOSE revalved. Pain in the butt, and more expensive than the first impression.
