Shock absorbers Bilstein or OLD MAN EMU

I've been happy with my bilstein B4s i got from rockauto. the highlander of same generation shocks also fit in the rear. the ride is still smooth.

The most popular setup on the [FJ Forum](https://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/) is the Blistein 6112 up front and 5160s in the rear. This is for good reason, when it comes to bang-for-buck the 6112's are hard to beat.

If you prefer a firm ride, go with B6. The damper shaft is almost twice as thick as stock (and the B4 units). I had B8 with ACS springs and rrrrreally enjoyed the setup (same as B6 but shorter). If I wanted to maintain standard ride height, I’d definitely get the B6.

I swapped in Bilstein B8 shocks, now it looks great and the ride is great too.

I have an Alltrack with GTI springs and B4s. It's well controlled but doesn't take as hard a set when cornering as the Koni's I had previously. I got tired of replacing the koni struts and they were too firm for the wife so the B4's were an easy choice.

I got the Bilsteins and they are excellent on shitty CA highways. I would purchase them again and highly recommended.

I have switched my Ranchos out to Bilsteins 6112 in the front and 5100s in the rear...

Bilstein 4600 at a minimum. Quality shocks make too big of a difference, you definitely get what you pay for.

I put in 5100’s and wished I had spent the extra few hundred bucks for the 6112’s.

“Upgraded” to Bilstein 4600s with 99’ springs not too long ago and they’re way too rough. You can feel just about every bump in the road and it’s extremely jarring and uncomfortable.
