I LOVE the 5100s on my '20 Z71. The Ranchos had almost zero damping. Going over speed bumps at my kids' school used to cause the truck to wallow around for a second or two before settling down. There's none of that now with the 5100s. It really does feel like a different truck. Very planted.

Pros: feels like different truck, very planted
Cons: Ranchos had zero damping
Vehicle: Chevrolet

when you guys order your bilstein b4's, do you order them for alltrack or SW? i suppose you want them for SW so their not valved for the taller springs on the AT right?

Monroe OE Spectrum. It had better valving than what comes stock. Where I live it’s about 70-80 a pair so easy on the wallet and produces a nice smooth ride.

Pros: nice smooth ride
Cons: better valving needed

It might not matter, but those 5100’s are specifically valved for stock springs. I realize people put aftermarket springs on with them, but your best ride is going to be with stock.

Pros: best ride with stock

The Bilsteins put somewhat of a level on it, and this may be a n00b question, but curious if they can be modified to add a couple inch lift to the truck? It could use it with the bigger tires.

Pros: levels the truck

I got them on my 97 Yukon and they do not off-road too terribly well, and feel too soft. I bottom out and bumps and they’re only like a year old.

Cons: feel too soft, bottom out
