Shock absorbers Bilstein or FOX

Bilstein Shock absorbers

I used Bilstein 5100s forever on previous trucks and they worked well and gave me some added lift. I now run Bilstein 6112s in front and 5160s in the rear. More expensive set up but way better ride than any Rancho shock could give you.

Pros: worked well, added lift
Cons: more expensive

Did you test the ride quality at different ride heights? I think if you raised up about an inch you would see that these are vastly superior to stock suspension. I had mine moderately low then raised them up 3/4 inch and the ride quality is much better. I have B16s.

Pros: ride quality is better

I have B8 5100s in my 4Runner. Off-road or on-road I have never had an issue with them. I thought they were a noticeable improvement over my stock ride in terms of comfort, even with the 2" lift.

Pros: improvement over stock ride

I have the bilsteins with standard sport springs and hate them. They float normally & are overly harsh over bad surfaces.

Cons: float normally, overly harsh
