Shock absorbers Bilstein or OLD MAN EMU

I chose the BP-51s for multiple reasons. First off I wanted external reservoir shocks for the cooling advantages, as I love to bomb trails. I also wanted something that was adjustable... I took these on a wash boarded road yesterday and the ride quality was insane.

I also did the b6’s paired with eibach pro kit, big difference!!

Bilstein shocks and lowering springs, you retain a more comfortable ride whilst getting better handling and making the car a bit lower

I lifted my other 2004GX470 with some Bilsteins and springs (in back). It rode also great. I sold it to my mom and she loved it and the ride.

I put Bilstein’s on my 16. First did the silver ones, forget the model. Those lasted 2 years. Changed those out to the uglier yellow with blue boots last summer. I like the ugly ones better.

I have the bilsteins and have no complaints. Thought they were a quality shock for the money. I really forget that I even have new shocks on the truck which tells me that they are doing their job well. Side note: I go on quite a few adventures with my truck, so the shocks get put through solid testing off road.

See vogtland springs and bilstein shocks. I used on mine and love em.

Stick to Bilstein, just put a set on my truck 10k ago. Rides a million times better

My experience on a 2013 SEL (with lift spacers): - Bilstein B4’s. Pretty much the same as stock - Bilstein B6’s . Harsh. There’s a lot of gas force so you feel every ripple and bump in the road.

From what I remember they have a stiff ride (any Bilstein equipped vehicle I've ever owned is stiff IMO) and they don't really flex that well.
