Shock absorbers Bilstein or KYB

Bilstein Shock absorbers

I don't. Based in the research I did when I lifted mine, there is no reason to run dual shocks with modern shocks. I don't remember where/what different shock mount I bought and paired it with a single Bilstein.

Make sure the shocks you buy ars KYB. These cars are heavy and have a tendency to eat cheap shocks.

Pros: Good for heavy cars
Cons: Cheap shocks wear fast
Vehicle: Ford

The Bilsteins for the rear aren't that expensive. They are a little bit firmer than stock but the increase in wheel and body control are worth it.

Pros: increased wheel control, increased body control
Cons: firmer than stock
Vehicle: Saab

stock height 4600's are a big improvement as well. The valving is the same as 5100's, but for non-lifted vehicles. My youngest son just updated his old Inherited H2 with 4600's, that's how I found out about the valving - he called Bilstein! Also, his shocks have the zinc finish, which is a nice anti-corrosion upgrade.

Pros: big improvement, zinc finish, anti-corrosion

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

I put 5100s on the front of my 2018 SR5 at the stock clip, they were about a 3/4 of an inch longer than stock and it leveled the front out so that it sits almost level.

It rides about the same, less nose dive, but nothing significant?

Pros: less nose dive
Cons: nothing significant
Vehicle: Toyota
