I have b4 shocks for sport suspension, the ride is never harsh, takes hits and potholes very well, but when cruising down a freeway the car is a little busy feeling as in firm/ with a slight jiggle but never harsh if that makes sense

Handles very well on backroads,

Pros: never harsh, takes hits well, handles well
Cons: busy feeling, slight jiggle

I really like how my Bilstein 5100s ride. They have different notches in the body for the different height settings from stock to 2.5" lift, iirc. I originally had mine at the stock, but put them one below the top height shortly afterward. Night and day difference in ride quality in both settings over the worn-out stockers.

Pros: ride quality improved

Billstein 5100s are pretty affordable ($130 each) and will perform better than the stock shocks. They’re pretty much the gold standard for value/performance for most midsize and full size trucks.

Pros: affordable, better performance

Just swapping to konis with stock everything else on my 325ic made a huge difference for autox. Comfy enough for thousands at a time lol.

Pros: huge difference, comfortable ride

Ended up swapping the fronts for 5100’s, while for my drive style they handle exactly as i need them too it’s a lil harsh for me on the smaller bumps so i’m debating on going with a coilover or the next option up from bilstein

Pros: handle exactly as needed
Cons: lil harsh on bumps
