I've run 5100 Bilsteins on my 2010 JKU Rubicon and again on my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon. Nothing but praise. Cost effective and just an excellent, all around shock.

Pros: cost effective, excellent all-around

Vehicle: Jeep

You should go with bilstein 6112 in the front and 5100 in the rear. You can do 5100s in the front if you are budget limited. The pistons in the 6112 are thicker and drive a lot smoother.

Pros: smoother drive, thicker pistons

Vehicle: Lexus
