[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 429921, member: 1997"] The #'s listed are for compression and rebound meaning how much resistance to movement the shock has. The shim stack in the shock has to deflect as the shock moves. Think of how a deck of playing cards bend when you shuffle the deck. Now if you have a #30 shim stack, all the shims are .008" thick, a #90 shim stack they are .015 thick. The thicker the shim the more it force it takes to move it. The stack can be made up to whatever is wanted in between. The way FOX listed their shims. If you do order a shim stack, I suggest ordering a 30, 50, or 70 stack. Having those you can make up anything in between line a 45, 60 etc. Also note that is you have a compression stack that matches the # you need for rebound you can just remove the largest diameter shim and you now have what you need for a rebound stack. Here are a couple good spots to explain much better than I can.
