That's helpful.. makes a lot of sense. As you mentioned, I might just leave the front as is in their pre- set 4 without adding the valves. I like the way it rides anyway.. and then I can just add it to the rear. I can at least start with the rear and depending on how the front/ rear balance goes maybe do the front valves if I feel like it should be more dialed inContact APG and ask them about payload and towing with the deavers.
Since you are going to be towing I absolutely believe that having the ability to adjust the compression settings in the rear shocks will put a smile on anyone's face as they load up the bed with weight or hitch up a trailer. That's an application where the cdcv's help tune the ride with weight.
I personally like the ability to find the right compression setting for the rear for soaking up bumps in the road vs. off-road. That's an application where the cdcv's help tune the ride over bumps relative to on road vs. off road.
I also plan to put 2 spares in the back inside of a spare carrier I'm designing out of mild steel so I will probably crank the rear shocks up a setting or 2. That would be me using the first application for weight in the back.
I know that the front coilovers that are without the cdcv's come at what would be setting 4 which in my opinion is fantastic without a long travel kit.
For the rears without cdcv's I'm not sure what "relative" setting they come at out of the box compared to a setting with the cdcv's but for me if that would be similar to a setting 4 on the cdcv's, that rides too rough with the deavers and feels like I'm back to the stock leafs that just buck over bumps. Some permanent weight in the rear would help but I'm not sure how much. I'm sure anyone could find the sweet spot and who knows maybe the rear shocks come at what would be similar to setting 2 because these shocks are engineered which means designed, tested, fixed, tested again, and so forth.
So cdcv's aren't necessary, the front come at a sweet setting out of the box and I just can't say how the rears come out of the box without cdcv's.
But the cdcv's do have some nice applications that you could use them for.
