From Bilstein:
Basically, the lower the ratio the softer the ride....and not the ideal choice for a single shock/offroad application.

Understanding Bilstein Valve Ratings
Damping forces of Bilstein valvings for Off-Road are measured in Newtons at a velocity of 0.52 meters/seconds (approximately 20 inches/second). The ratings shown correspond to those measurements; rebound force is the first number, followed by compression force (rebound / compression). Conventionally, the ratings are written as one tenth the damping force in Newtons.
EXAMPLE: Valve rating: 275 / 78
Rebound force is 2750 Newtons at 0.52 m/s
Compression force is 780 Newtons at 0.52 m/s
Higher numbers mean higher (firmer) damping forces. For example, 360/80 has more control (is firmer) that 275/78, while 170/60 has less control (is softer) than 275/78.
For valving recommendations please refer to the Valving Guide.

I see the 5150's are in a lift range of 6.5"-14" Lift
But the site says for the 5160's only a max hight of 4" Lift
Can you get the 5160's for a larger lift range for the cherokee?

I like the 5160's and my jeep will eventually have a 8"-10" Lift. I would probably like to have the heavier valving. So im just window shopping now to see what I need to save for. But just wanted to know if they make the 5160's for that size lift? And how much?
