well different shock companies use different valving numbers/letters. but for bilsteins, the higher the number, the more firm the shock will be.

Someone ? anyone? offer me up a size that will work with my setup?
thanks

rear shock lengths on MJs are way different then XJs so i cant offer any help. but those fronts will be too long. for reference i have 17"-29" up front with the eye adapter up top and the stock barpin on the bottom. with 6.5" coils i have about 5" of uptravel.
