Anyone know the extended and compressed length on the JBA bilstein coilover setup? or any other similar setup. Im assuming they are using about a 400# spring with a 10" length and 2.5" I.D. was hoping someone had some insite on the shock itself. is it possible that its a bilstein 7100 series Extended Length: 26.65 Collapsed Length:17.44 also has anyone experimented with with a 12" spring, perhaps with a lesser spring rate or greater? thanks |

JBA did a lot of testing with various lengths, spring rates etc. to come up with what would work well for both lift and ride/handling. He has a whole pile of test springs etc he used so of course guards the specs closely. |

If you wanted to you could always measure the stock shocks and go from there. Sway-a-way has an extensive line if springs to choose from posted on their website. Like Tom suggested JBA put a lot of time and $$$ into developing their product, I wouldn't expect to get that info easily. |
