Owner reviews for shock absorbers

Put 5100's on my 2014 to replace the blown out ranchos about 3 years back. Worth it, i reused my existing springs and they mounted without a problem. Ride is awesome and you can get them on amazon.

I been running a set of bilstein 5100’s for 5 years on my pro4x no hassles much better ride than the stock shocks.

I find the 6112s ride a bit better at a slightly higher speed compared to 5100s. Taking rough gravel roads in my truck at 25-30 mph is a little rough, but it surprisingly smooths out around 40-45 mph.

I’ve got 6112s after having 5100 and it’s a noticeably better ride and drive

I have 6112’s on my third gen and the difference is pretty amazing. My brother has 5100s on his third gen and I would say my truck feels a lot more planted and controlled. Both are a massive difference over stock.

I have the 5100s and I really like how they ride. Massive improvement over stock.

I prefer the ride of the 6112/5160 configuration. They are a bit stiffer at first, but once they're broken in, you'll see a huge improvement on and off-road (handles washboards/logging roads, moderate trails, and highway driving beautifully).

I put 5100’s on my ‘18 4Runner and it was a massive improvement firming up the horrible body roll from the factory.

It seems most suggest KYB, but I have only found the Gabriel's to come loaded. Don't think I'm willing to add expenses by buying new parts to load the KYB. Price on the a Gabriels seems right at about $200ish all around so I'll likely bite on that one.

I put Duralast shocks on my Silverado 2500. The Duralast shocks did NOTHING to improve the ride quality and both the front and rear are as bad as before.
