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.

You're probably better off just getting an off the shelf kit rather than doing this yourself.
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.
