Just got Carli Bilstein 5160's

So I just had my old 7100's - with an older valving profile - replaced with Carli's 5160's, which have the latest custom valving that's shared their 7100's. Also had some control arms installed...I already had Carli progressive coils and leafs.

I was already happy with my truck with the 7100's...and now I'm super stoked.

If you're looking for an incredible ride, IMHO this setup should absolutely be on your shopping list.

Did Carli custom tune to your request or is this a one size fits all tune? I wouldn't mind upgrading my front shocks but not sure how a Carli tuned shock would work with my KORE front springs. I don't want them any stiffer. At 80 thousand miles my Kores feel like the're finally just starting to soften, but then that could be my Bilstiens wearing out a bit....

Bilstein custom-valves the Carli 5160 to Carli's specs, and their valving works well with their progressive-rate springs. I would call Carli to see what your options are.

I know those Kore springs are very stiff, but a few guys in the group have (or had) them so the Carli guys are somewhat familiar with them.
