Shock absorbers Bilstein or GABRIEL

I put 4600 on mine to replace the shot OEM ones and I love them.

Put 4600's on mine and consistently get wild offroading and crawling. They're a good option, not premium, but sufficient

I installed the Bilsteins and I like them. Replaced what I believe were the original OEMs on my 2006 that had 120k miles on them, so the ride was pretty brutal.

Bilsteins are great. You will likely see a good boost in handling and feeling like a train when WOT applies. These should last at 200k before they are dying to be replaced.

It now drives much better than stock suspensions with air springs Also, Its now returned to a "factory" Prado. ????????

Upon disassembly, I found the KYB Excel-G shocks were completely shot and offered no rebound. I installed Bilstein B4 "Touring Class" units. The no-name aftermarket strut bearings weren't doing the suspension any favors either and I was glad to get the new German Febi units. So far, so good

Looking at potentially going with Bilstein B6 shocks/struts and Steeda Ultra-Lite springs combo, as I've heard great things about each part/company individually though I haven't seen any reviews of them used in tandem, at least on the 2005-2014s.

Look into Eibach shocks. I have bilstein 5100 on front with eibach in rear. I like them at the price point and they are like a 5100 but they dial down the harshness.

For years I used Gabriel brand shocks on my pickup trucks. Couldn’t tell the difference between them and Monroe shocks.

Gabriel and Monroe shocks are super trash. You’ll be lucky if they last two years typically.
