I LOVE the 5100s on my '20 Z71. The Ranchos had almost zero damping. Going over speed bumps at my kids' school used to cause the truck to wallow around for a second or two before settling down. There's none of that now with the 5100s. It really does feel like a different truck. Very planted.

Pros: feels like different truck, very planted
Cons: Ranchos had zero damping
Vehicle: Chevrolet

when you guys order your bilstein b4's, do you order them for alltrack or SW? i suppose you want them for SW so their not valved for the taller springs on the AT right?

It might not matter, but those 5100’s are specifically valved for stock springs. I realize people put aftermarket springs on with them, but your best ride is going to be with stock.

Pros: best ride with stock

I put 5100's on my 2011 SR5, set it at the highest setting on the front with the stock springs. I put TRD springs on the back, which did raise the back a touch. The ride is harsher in the back and much better up front.

Pros: much better up front
Cons: ride is harsher

I’ve had 5100s and fox 2.0s.

The 5100s are over damped, unless you drive fast as hell or drive your truck like a sports car the fox’s are gonna ride way better

Pros: fox rides way better
Cons: 5100s are over damped

I'm using bilstein b4's and when I put it all back together I ended up with over a fist of tire to fender gap and am trying to figure out how to fix this. Previous ride height was like 2 or 3 fingers between the tire and arch.

Cons: excessive fender gap
