Default rear shocks

What model Bilstein rear shocks are you Blistein guys using? I want a stiff rear ride that will stop all wheel hop. Any recommendations.

Its the other way around....you want a slower rebound ....I have foa 2.0 rear reservoir shocks that are valved stiff.I also have deaver race pack that are stiffer than stock and my rear end is very stiff and increases wheel hop. I just borrowed my friends king 2.5 reservoir shock and its night and day better than the valving that I had done on my foa . If u want I can sell u my foa with some shims for revalve and u can tinker with the valving until u find the best setup. These are a lot better than the bilsteins hands down because they can be revalve....

Bilstein 4600 HD series. They really help keep the tires on the ground better than the OEM.
