shock valving? and opinions on bilstein?
how do i determine the valving i should select for my shocks?
also i have 4.5" lift on 33 with 3inch of bump stop and i am looking at the bilstein 5150 shocks with 10.02 inch of travel for the rear and 5100 shocks up front with same travel. does that sound like a good setup?

they are the same shock but one has a resivoir. why not run the same shock all around? the only benefit to the resivoir is heat and shock fade. but the 5150 resi is so small i dont feel that it makes a huge difference. anyway. go with the 255/70 valving. imo its the softest that belongs on an xj and perfect for an all around rig
