Billstein 5100s are pretty affordable ($130 each) and will perform better than the stock shocks. They’re pretty much the gold standard for value/performance for most midsize and full size trucks.

Pros: affordable, better performance

Happy to report Dobinsons MRA92-A2522 12” travel fit quite neatly in the Archive Shock relo. The 3-way adjustment and massive finned external reservoir are clutch. The ride is massively improved.

Pros: ride massively improved

Part number: MRA92-A2522

My personal AT4 has Bilsteins on all four corners and it’s SOLID. A nice firm and consistent ride.

Pros: firm and consistent ride

Predictable and controlled feel now. No rollover feel going into turns at higher speeds. Truck should have come through with these.

Pros: predictable and controlled feel

Cons: no rollover feel

For the actual shocks, I used BILSTEIN. B6 in the rear, B8 in the front. LOVE THEM. Drive an X6 though, stiff at first but after a work in really smooth.

Pros: smooth ride, loved them

Cons: stiff at first

Vehicle: BMW X6

I currently run Bilsteins, but looking to change to BC Racing ones. Only cos the rear on the Bilsteins don't go low enough (3 finger gap at the lowest rear setting).

Cons: don't go low enough

Vehicle: Fiat 500
