Shock absorbers Bilstein or OEM Toyota

Bilstein Shock absorbers

I put Bilstein b6 on mine but you’d have to probably do the front too if not going with OEM stuff. I also put 034 mounts which are fine on the front but I’m about to go back to stock on the back due to noise.

Pros: fine on the front
Cons: noise on the back

I installed stock(unmodified) Bilstein B4 shocks/struts on my 2017 REX with 19” wheels and the improvement was noticeable. Overall the ride was less unsettled and bouncy.

Pros: ride less unsettled, bouncy
Vehicle: BMW

I decided to swap in the Bilstein 5100s, gotta say they ride a lot nicer when the truck is empty--We'll see how they do with a gear load on the next road trip.

Pros: ride a lot nicer
Mileage: 30000 km

Note 5100s are not soak up the bumps kind of shocks. Depending on what you think is atrocious about your current ride, it might not be an improvement. My 08 V8 feels stiffer/sharper on bumps compared to OEM shocks, though it handles them with better composure, less resonance/vibration on hard hits, and handles washboard and bumps better. Also less body roll.

Pros: better composure, less body roll
Cons: stiffer/sharper on bumps

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
