I would highly recommend the 5160 in the rear. Matches the front performance better. I took my 5100 out in a month and replaced with 5160 and didn’t look back.

Pros: highly recommend, matches performance better

I ran Bilstein 4600s for a few years, then swapped to Bilstein 5100s with a 2\" spring lift. They are firm, but work very well.

Pros: work very well

Cons: firm ride
