My Truck feels almost as cushy as my dad's 22 TRD Pro. I can hit speed bumps at easily 10mph faster without discomfort, it rides great on forest service roads and has less body roll than stock.

Pros: cushy, rides great
Cons: none

This may not be super helpful, as Idk if there is a significant difference in how these shocks play due to the V8 suspension geometry and weight, but b8's on intrax springs on my m5 are just about perfect for a daily driver in my experience. My understanding is that the b6 is valved exactly the same as the b8 but has a different shaft length meant for use with standard/non-lowering springs.

Pros: perfect for daily driver
Cons: none
Vehicle: BMW

Don’t get the cheapest- Brands like KYB and Monroe are ones to consider. Bilstein if you’re feeling fancy and want to spend the extra.

Pros: Consider KYB, Monroe, Bilstein
Cons: Don't get the cheapest

Do not go OEM. At a minimum, put on Bilstein 5100 shocks at stock height and improve ride and lessen nose dive on braking. I got a set of 4 last year for my son's 1999 3rd gen and paid $300 for install $400 for parts. We used the stock 99 tall springs. I put 5100 shocks on my 2011 and lifted the front 2" and put trd springs on the back to level. Way better off road and firmer on road.

Pros: improve ride, lessen nose dive

5100s all 4 corners, top lift setting in front with 1" taller rear block on my 2008. No, not jarring. Firm in the sense that the weight of the truck is well controlled, but still comfortable. In no way is it harsh.

Pros: weight well controlled
Cons: firm ride

I just pulled my stock ranchos from my 15 all terrain. They had some life left , surprisingly after 169k miles. I put the 5100’s on, and it’s a world of difference. Ride is way smoother, less bounce.

Pros: way smoother ride
Cons: less bounce
Mileage: 169000 km

I have Bilstein B8 Performance shock absorbers with Eibach EW 2067001VA springs; on a sedan 2002 530i manual transmission.

Great ride on a perfectly smooth road and stable on the highway at high speeds.

Horrible where I live.

To be honest, I kinda regret installing them.

Pros: stable at high speeds
Cons: horrible ride, expensive
Vehicle: BMW
