I replaced my old worn out KYBs with some Bilstein 4600s and it's a night and day difference. The Bilsteins give it a way comfier ride and they're a little firm but they aren't harsh, I'd definitely recommend Bilstein.
Tuned by STI. Often shortened to TBSTI. Was never available in North America. You get some exterior bits including wheels, Brembo brakes, STI 6 speed, Bilstein struts & other suspension improvements, some interior bits (namely seats), strut tower brace, different mufflers, and of course the ECU tune.
I've been on B4s for two years on my 2nd gen. Granted they're on springs that sit almost an inch lower than OE height, but performance is solid and consistent all the same. Id imagine they're even more plush at OE height versus that small amount of preload from sitting slightly lower. Worth the money.
Here's what it took to bring this old diesel back: ...New Bilstein shocks...But every time I drive it, I feel good.
What i did to eliminate my bounce was adding air bags. change out the shackle bushing to either OEM or polyurethane, you choice i went with polyurethane. Your leafsprings are probably gone, especially if they are OEM. You can change them. But try out the air bags /shackle bushing and also shocks (bilstein) if you haven't yet. For my motorhome, when im loaded, i run around 80psi non loaded 50psi no bounce even when driving on dirt roads to campground.
I would get the Bilstein 5100s, Bilstein 5100s are a night and day difference from the Westcott preload collar lift (it's essentially a spacer lift)
I did 5100’s on my ‘19, 4/5 setting front lift, zero back. Nice and level-ish now that I’ve got a steel bumper. Feels better than stock by a wide margin
I've had these 4600s for a little under a year and they've been a huge improvement over stock, but the rear is sagging with my spare tire + carrier on the hitch.
I run bilstein sport with lesjöfors oem style springs and it holds great in corners but little too harsh on ruff roads. Also helps to have r16s instead of r18s even tho they look a lot better
Just had new upper and lower control arms installed yesterday, with Bilstein 6112s ( set at the 2nd setting which is supposed to be 1.9inch of lift) and 5160s in the rear. The truck rides very odd, seems very bouncy between 10-50 miles per hour on regular roads. Also noticed that there are chunks missing out of the LT/RT struts, looks like the springs are making contact with the upper control arms.
