I have 5100s on my Tacoma and they made a great replacement to my OEM shocks. Kept it at factory height. Less nose dive when braking makes all the difference to me.

Pros: less nose dive

Vehicle: Toyota

In my experience, Billstein shocks will not appreciably improve ride quality. They will, however, improve handling.

Pros: improve handling

Cons: will not smooth ride

Vehicle: Toyota

I recently replaced with all four from Blistein B4! However, they are pretty rough and drive isn’t comfortable at all.

Cons: rough ride, uncomfortable drive
