For the really nice ride part, I got the Bilstein 5160 shocks. Install was a bit goofy, but manageable. They really make a huge difference compared to the rough country shocks I had on there. I fly into bumpy areas just to feel how nicely they dampen.

Pros: huge difference, nicely dampen
Cons: goofy install
Vehicle: Toyota FJ Cruiser

I've been really happy with my Bilstein 5100 shocks and OME heavy load springs with all of my added armor weight. After I picked up a trackbar correction kit and got my geometry right the rig rides better than any new truck!

Pros: rides better than new
Vehicle: Toyota FJ Cruiser

I don't have a lot of comparison points, but I went Fox and love them. Great ride, but not at all sloppy, and really improved the handling.

Pros: great ride, improved handling
Cons: not at all sloppy
Part number: 985-24-084

Bilstein 4600 for a stock road Jeep. Not quite as squishy as a nitro shock like OME, but a significant upgrade over stock in both comfort and control.

Pros: upgrade over stock
Cons: not as squishy
Vehicle: Jeep

I then replaced the front with some Bilsteins (I forget the model) along with other suspension components (OEM) a few months later. These pretty much feel the same as stock to me.

Pros: feel the same
