Bilstein 7100's for D2 with 2" lift and SLS rear
 
Anyone run Bilstein 7100 in a D2 with a 2" suspension lift and SLS rear suspension (airbags)? If so, do you remember which model you purchased (length and valving)?

Your air bags will not extend to the length of the 7100's.

you could probably get the 8" travel 8100s, but that's about the same length as all the other shocks that are most likely a better option since you want to keep the bags. 360/80 is one option for valving, 400/100 is more firm.

I was looking at the short body 8" Bilstein 7100 units for front and rear, these have an Extended Length of: 24.29", and a Collapsed Length of: 14.06".
I was thinking 400/100 is probably too firm, since generally the vehicle doesn't have a load in it. 360/80 for the ass end and 275/78 valving for the front?
What shocks do you refer to when you say "...all the other shocks that are most likely a better option since you want to keep the bags."?
