Put 5100's on my 2014 to replace the blown out ranchos about 3 years back. Worth it, i reused my existing springs and they mounted without a problem. Ride is awesome and you can get them on amazon.

Pros: ride is awesome
Vehicle: Nissan

I find the 6112s ride a bit better at a slightly higher speed compared to 5100s. Taking rough gravel roads in my truck at 25-30 mph is a little rough, but it surprisingly smooths out around 40-45 mph.

Pros: smooths out around 40-45
Cons: rough at 25-30 mph

I have 6112’s on my third gen and the difference is pretty amazing. My brother has 5100s on his third gen and I would say my truck feels a lot more planted and controlled. Both are a massive difference over stock.

Pros: more planted and controlled

I prefer the ride of the 6112/5160 configuration. They are a bit stiffer at first, but once they're broken in, you'll see a huge improvement on and off-road (handles washboards/logging roads, moderate trails, and highway driving beautifully).

Pros: huge improvement on/off-road
Cons: bit stiffer at first

My suspension progression has been S-line stock -> Euro S-line springs on stock dampers -> Bilstein PSS10 -> Ohlins R&T with Euro springs. I did like a lot of aspects of the Bilsteins, but they are just a little too harsh for me on uneven pavement around town

Cons: a little too harsh
Vehicle: Audi A3

I had a 2018 Z71 and went with the Rancho RS 9000XL Quicklift. Was a great setup. I now have a 2020 AT4 and put on a set of the Bilstein 5100’s. Don’t like them at all. Ride quality is not much better than the factory and I still have the rear end hop going over bumps at speed.

Cons: rear end hop
