Looking for some real shock advise, not so much an opinion versus brand. I need a good all around shock( i know something that can do everthing..does nothing well). That said, im thinking of running an adjustable shock to soften up for the whoops, and stiffen up for the rocks/body roll on the street. My rig is a little top heavy due to the exo.
Most people will just say run 5100's, whiich is a good all around shock, but doesn't help with the unruly road manners. I know it sounds lazy, but i dont wanna run a sway bar, and like the idea of being able to adjust depending on how loaded down she is. Any ideas?I think the only adjustables out there are the MX6's and the 9000XL. Anyone running diegressive Bilsteins?

All Bilstein 5100's have digressive valving.

I'll check it out when im not on the app, I was under the impression they were linear valved.
A off my wheeling is 50/50...high speed desert washed,then some big rock obstacles,then washes/whoops...then high speed curvy backroads and mountains;all on the same trip. That's why I was leaning toward an adjustable shock.

7100 Series FTW.
Re-valve when ever you feel the need.
