Shock absorbers Bilstein or GABRIEL

I have regular Bilstein HD shocks at stock height. Also downsized the front anti roll bar from 28mm to 24mm. It rides really nice.

Don’t cheap out on the shocks. I had ranchos then I got bilstein 5100s and it was night and day. I have no problem driving it 700 miles round trip to Moab and back.

I have the B6s on my 18 XT. They are stiffer than original shocks, but certainly not overly so. They should have been stock, as far as I am concerned.

probably a matched set of springs and dampers like bilstein b12 pro kit are best for a daily. i love mine

I went the 5160/6112 route and love them. Coming from stock suspension for the first 50k it was amazing offroad but really helped with the on-road nosedive and with upgrade springs in the rear helped tremendously with the sag from my rtt trailer.

I’ll at least give them points for wanting to use top quality components. Bilstein are nothing short of the best when it comes to shock absorbers.

H&R sport springs 40mm, Bilstein B8s.

I run 33s with a 3 in lift. Biltein shocks.

I have 5100s with 2.25" of lift and I've lost 2" of downtravel

I put Bilstein on and although I loved the way it handled at speed, it was otherwise a disaster, way too stiff and raised the ride height, considerably due to the fact that they were dimensionally incorrect.
