Shock absorbers Bilstein or Rancho

I used Bilstein 5100 and Old Man Emu medium duty springs on my 04. Very cost effective way to get 2.5 inch lift and decent ride quality.

I went with Bilstein 6112's up front and 5160's in the rear. Leveled the front and went one clip position up on the driver's side because Taco lean. After breaking in, the rear sags ever so slightly. It rides great, though!

Same shocks on my 18 platinum. Really helped with the rear end hop; feels more planted too, generally.

Just installed Bilstein 5100 Shock absorbers on my ‘18 Platinum. The truck takes those harsh bumps much smoother now and the silver shocks add a great look to my trucks Black/silver theme.

I run bilstiens, my last set was installed on my tacoma at 245k, i now have 295k and they still ride pretty decent. Im not easy on it either, regularly off roading, pulling 4klb trailers, hauling firewood, stone, scrap metal etc.

I'm really happy with them. They have eight adjustable settings both the front and the rear for preload and dampening. Otherwise my feelings about the Rancho shocks have been very favorable and the ride quality is at least equal to original factory with some adjustability for when I want to tow or go off-road and I like that.

Get Bilstein 5100 series shocks and call it a day, best ones I’ve used off road and still comfy for on road use

I have them on my k2500 suburban and they’re great. It’s much nicer to drive and helped things feel more planted when towing.

They're definitely a more budget friendly option so don't expect them to preform like fox or king shocks, for a daily you don't care too much about I'd run them, but for a truck you care about and want more performance out of I'd run Bilstein 4600's

B4s are garbage don’t listen. Mine blew in about 2 years.
