Don’t cheap out on the shocks. I had ranchos then I got bilstein 5100s and it was night and day. I have no problem driving it 700 miles round trip to Moab and back.

Pros: night and day difference

I have the B6s on my 18 XT. They are stiffer than original shocks, but certainly not overly so. They should have been stock, as far as I am concerned.

Pros: stiffer than original
Cons: stiffer than original

I went the 5160/6112 route and love them. Coming from stock suspension for the first 50k it was amazing offroad but really helped with the on-road nosedive and with upgrade springs in the rear helped tremendously with the sag from my rtt trailer.

Pros: amazing offroad, helped nosedive
Mileage: 50000 km

I’ll at least give them points for wanting to use top quality components. Bilstein are nothing short of the best when it comes to shock absorbers.

Pros: top quality components

I currently run Bilsteins, but looking to change to BC Racing ones. Only cos the rear on the Bilsteins don't go low enough (3 finger gap at the lowest rear setting).

Cons: don't go low enough
Vehicle: Fiat 500

Bilstein 5100 are trash unless you're just doing pavement princess driving. Teeth shattering stiffness. I hate them.

Cons: Teeth shattering stiffness
