    But you asked how I valved mine. I have front bypasses so the valving I have in my coilovers will be completely different than yours if you don't have bypasses.

    The kit I'm going with don't have bypass mounts, I will have to make them if I want them.

    Terrible excuse. Plenty of bypass mounts out there. I'd be surprised if whatever campany's kit you went with doesn't have one available.

    There's countless options depending on truck weight, spring rate, unsprung weight, terrain, driving preferences, etc.

    Generically speaking, you're going to be running a combination of 20s and 15s on comp with a flutter and 10s or 12s on rebound.

    This is pretty much it unfortunately. Each individual truck is going to be different and each individual's expectations and driving conditions will be different. I am going through the same thing currently, tinkering with different set ups to figure out what is going to work best for me. Once you figure out the tricks to remove and swap over the shims it doesn't take long, I've only done it twice and I did it the second time in around 90min.

    It would be awesome if it was what I ordered. But it's not. So it's just a solid "meh" for right now.
