Owner reviews for shock absorbers

I have the standard twin tube nitrogen shocks with their UCA's and I love them. A little harsh when the truck is empty, but it rides like a Cadillac with 4 people and a couple hundred pounds of suitcases

I'm on Bilstein B8. Love it. I've had the Bilsteins on 3 different cars so obviously a fan. Bilstein are surely firmer than stock but not too much

I've got the B6 DCC on my 19 Golf R. Overall I really like this upgrade. I will say that I don't think the Bilsteins made a world of difference compared to the OEM shocks/struts, but the springs seem to have the car more settled and less frantic and ready to bounce off the road over every little bump.

I bought KYB shocks few years ago on Amazon for my C1500. Way cheaper compared to local parts store.

Ive got Bilstein 5100s on my 99 with 4 inches of lift. Drives like a 20 year old truck instead of a 25 year old truck :)

I got a pair of the 3100 Bilstiens in my 1995 K1500, the old ones WERE STOCK FROM THE DAMN FACTORY, I replaced them and gave me about an inch of lift and drives like something else, I highly recommend them, plus they come with stickers to slap on your window or the tailgate

I've always just run Monroe gas-matics but currently have Billsteins on my Suburban. They're a stiffer ride and more expensive but are durable.

Got a used 14 with pedders already on it and they're pretty nice, don't know how they compare to other brands tho tbh

I just did the 5100's at 2". I also have a +0 offset wheel (this matters). My 275/70R17's rub the mudflap at full turn when entering a driveway.

I put the 5100 on my 15 Terrain, I don't like them much. I am mostly hwy driving. They're so stiff, you can feel every crack in the road. The nose dive at corners is gone, but very stiff.
