Shock absorbers Bilstein or OEM Toyota

Bilstein Shock absorbers

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

I put 5100's on my 2011 SR5, set it at the highest setting on the front with the stock springs. I put TRD springs on the back, which did raise the back a touch. The ride is harsher in the back and much better up front.

Pros: much better up front
Cons: ride is harsher

If you have the $, Bilstein 5100s run fantastic on Toyota pickup and 4wd/4runners. They are a little pricey but you'll feel the difference.

Pros: fantastic performance, feel the difference
Cons: a little pricey

Put new OEM springs matched with Bilstein B4 and they're a bit stiffer now. Awesome for cornering but definitely not as "lush" as they once were. Hopefully they settle a bit more.

Pros: awesome for cornering
Cons: bit stiffer now
Vehicle: Saab

They're definitely a more budget friendly option so don't expect them to preform like fox or king shocks, for a daily you don't care too much about I'd run them, but for a truck you care about and want more performance out of I'd run Bilstein 4600's

Pros: budget friendly option
Cons: performance not top tier
Vehicle: Ford Ranger

The original shocks were completely shot so I replaced them with Bilstein B6 shocks. The ride feels incredibly stiff on most roads.

Cons: ride feels incredibly stiff
