    Dual shocks will make it ride harsh unless you valve specifically for a dual shock setup.

    You probably want shocks with a little less rate on the bump side.

    I found that this set-up with the airbags allows me to set the harshness of the ride. On the rough stuff it makes it less bouncy and stops the yo-yoing

    Also adds to the better highway feel on the road when cornerning.

    I had twin Bilsteins on the rear of my 130 using the Terrafirma dual shock brackets. I am using 19mm Dobinson coils with polyair bags inside them. Coils give approximately a 2" lift.

    The Bilsteins were good, but not long enough for the coil. They gave a good ride over rough corrugations when loaded and unloaded.

    I recently changed the dual Bilsteins to a single Koni Raid. Look in my thread build up for pics.

    It's finished...finally!

    I much prefer the Koni Raid's over the Bilsteins.
