First thing you need to do is weigh the the rig all 4 corners and then the entire truck, not a bae idea to also weigh front to rear. This should be done with loaded weight tools pass. anything you normally carry with you, then based on what your driving terrain will be, your suppyler should be able to valve them correctly. also take measurments for mounting locations to get the length you will need. Once you have this info, you can now choose the supplier of your shock.. all this info will get you close. BUT there will still need to ba alot of tweeking once you have them.. Things to have on hand Shock oil, and high pressure nitrogen.. Also read Bill Vista's report here on the POR to help tweek very recommended reading.

I talked to Rob last night about adding the 90cc and lowering the nitrogen level. Hopefull once the crank kit comes in and I have everything back together. I will be able to start testing mine again.

Thats the process of tweaking the shocks, he has been changing settings of oil and nitrogen to get the best rideand flex
