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

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.
Pros: smoother ride, great look
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.
Pros: ride pretty decent
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 50000 km
Get Bilstein 5100 series shocks and call it a day, best ones I’ve used off road and still comfy for on road use
Pros: comfy for on road
Guess I lucked out when I ordered my B6's (talked to the company first and knew they were 4 days out)
Pros: lucked out when ordered
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.
Pros: nicer to drive, more planted
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Suburban
I have Bilstein on the rear of my 19 now and love how smooth they are.
Pros: smooth ride
I LOVE the 5100s on my '20 Z71. The Ranchos had almost zero damping. Going over speed bumps at my kids' school used to cause the truck to wallow around for a second or two before settling down. There's none of that now with the 5100s. It really does feel like a different truck. Very planted.
Pros: feels like different truck, very planted
Cons: Ranchos had zero damping
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
I put B4's on our 2008 535xi a few years ago. I first thought they were stiff but I decided the old ones were really soft. B4 was listed as the OEM equivalent.
Cons: thought they were stiff
Vehicle:
BMW
I tried the 034's as well, had Bilstein B8's with MSS kit adjustable springs. Broke the top stud off the B8's and when I sent them to Bilstein for warranty they blamed the stiffer upper strut bushing.
Cons: broke top stud
