[Gouranga]

im picking up a 2021 venture next week

my driving will be 40% city traffic 40% highway 20% beaten paths in the mountains.


I dont wanna sacrifice ride quality in city, I dont wanna feel potholes worse if anything i dont wanna feel them at all.

I want the lift mostly for height and clearance i wont be doing any rock climbing just riding on ''bad''roads and maybe the random obstacle.

that being said with comfort as first priority what you suggest for me ?
money is no issue i just want the best and i wanna sit high. like 3-4in ?

Your two goals fight each other. What is so wrong with a 2.5" lift?

Also, you are confusing soft with good ride quality (which I used to do as well). You want soft springs but you want powerful and in fact adjustable shocks that can handle as many scenarios as possible.

The Bilstein 8112/8100 is your ticket. You may want to wait for the 8112 with dual speed compression adjuster to come out. Should be soon enough. But even without that, the 8112 has 3 zones in each direction, the third being the stop. The competing shock only offer 1 zone plus a stop. Also, the 8100 will be coming out with knob adjusters to make it easier. There are no 8100s currently available anyway. I have been waiting for a month.

Nothing that lacks multi-zone arrangement or comprehensive compression + rebound adjustments will be great everywhere.

That or the new Ram TRX

The various bolt-on Fox, King, etc can be set to excel in one environment but not all. Fox lacks rebound adjuster and King's adjuster is for fine tuning only. Icon has a bypass rear option but not a front equivalent.

If you are that sure you want a taller lift, the OME 51 would do, but it is not as capable as the Bilstein shocks. It is also meant to be used with considerable weight.

So, pure performance/ride quality: Bisltein 8112/8100.
Higher lift: OME 51 (I think it allows 3" you need to check).

The 8100 is DIY rebuild, the 8112s and all the OME 51 would normally need to be send to OME/Bilstein for rebuild. I guess it could be DIY-ed though, if you can get the parts.
