    The great thing about monotube shocks, like all high performance shocks is that the gas is separated from the oil, so no matter how much of a flogging you give it, you won't fade the shock through aeration of the oil. Bilstein was my choice of shock also.

    When custom rate revalving is $250 per shock, or rebuilding is the same again, that ability becomes redundant.

    I can rebuild all 4 of my Billy's for less than that. It isn't that hard to do, and the gas and oil isn't expensive. I had custom valves done up for my 7100s that we're 16 USD a corner.

    If buying from OS you can get just about any valving option for no difference in price.

    Bilstien shocks & EFS mild comfort coils on mine, only had the coils for a short time (about 1000k's) & mainly on road for now but have had them off-road. Not extreme stuff mind you just club trips & also towing a van & so far I've been pleasantly surprised.
