Shock valving help

Post by wesjtx »

Looking for a starting point for valving and figured someone here might have some advice.

Front:
C&T beams
Rancho coils
Rancho Radius Arms
King 2.5” pin top shocks forward of coil

Rear:
Deaver J40
Upper shock mount
Gen2 Raptor 3.0 IBP Fox shocks

Going to hit up Accutune but wanted to see if anyone had some ideas for valving also.

Thanks - Wes

Not to sure if there’s going to be a lot of advice on valving smooth bodies to a rancho lift coil. What’s the spring rate on those things ?

How are the front shocks mounted? Sounds like you have a relatively unique setup

Rancho coils are 19.18 free length, 460 lb spring rate

Front shocks are in the forward location on a dual shock setup. They are made for a TJ, part number 25001-176. Perfect lengths for the setup I currently have. When I rebuild/revalve I am going to move the resi to the back shock location on a dual shock coil bucket to clean things up a bit.
