    50/50's in the rear and 90/10's up front.
    Now, how about what size slick and how much air pressure?

    I bought 3 position adjustables for the front(not installed yet), but was wondering about the rear myself.

    Does anyone know the ratings for stock shocks front and rear for comparison?
