Shock absorbers Bilstein or Sachs

5100s all 4 corners, top lift setting in front with 1" taller rear block on my 2008. No, not jarring. Firm in the sense that the weight of the truck is well controlled, but still comfortable. In no way is it harsh.

I just pulled my stock ranchos from my 15 all terrain. They had some life left , surprisingly after 169k miles. I put the 5100’s on, and it’s a world of difference. Ride is way smoother, less bounce.

I put 4600 on mine to replace the shot OEM ones and I love them.

Put 4600's on mine and consistently get wild offroading and crawling. They're a good option, not premium, but sufficient

I installed the Bilsteins and I like them. Replaced what I believe were the original OEMs on my 2006 that had 120k miles on them, so the ride was pretty brutal.

Bilsteins are great. You will likely see a good boost in handling and feeling like a train when WOT applies. These should last at 200k before they are dying to be replaced.

It now drives much better than stock suspensions with air springs Also, Its now returned to a "factory" Prado. ????????

Upon disassembly, I found the KYB Excel-G shocks were completely shot and offered no rebound. I installed Bilstein B4 "Touring Class" units. The no-name aftermarket strut bearings weren't doing the suspension any favors either and I was glad to get the new German Febi units. So far, so good

I used to have a factory set of optional Bilstein TRD Greys in my JZZ30 Toyota Soarer, they were on the firm side of things - could probably have benefited from a different spring rate.

I personally had Bilstein OE replacements on my E46 that were leaking and failed even though they were practically brand new when we removed them.
