Shock absorbers Bilstein or Rough Country

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.

I’ve got 6112s after having 5100 and it’s a noticeably better ride and drive

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.

I have the 5100s and I really like how they ride. Massive improvement over stock.

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).

I put 5100’s on my ‘18 4Runner and it was a massive improvement firming up the horrible body roll from the factory.

Been rocking the 5100’s on my TRD OR, no complaints and going strong after 2 years.

I started out with 5100s and they were definitely an improvement over stock both on and offroad. I noticed a huge difference when I upgraded to icon 2.5 coilovers though, which are closer to the 6112s.

Note 5100s are not soak up the bumps kind of shocks. Depending on what you think is atrocious about your current ride, it might not be an improvement. My 08 V8 feels stiffer/sharper on bumps compared to OEM shocks, though it handles them with better composure, less resonance/vibration on hard hits, and handles washboard and bumps better. Also less body roll.

I put the 5100 on my 15 Terrain, I don't like them much. I am mostly hwy driving. They're so stiff, you can feel every crack in the road. The nose dive at corners is gone, but very stiff.
