I went this route last winter. Got rid of the awful factory suspension and went with GTWORX set up, it includes the Bilstein struts and RaceComp springs. The car is a lot more planted than before. I would say it's the best upgrade you can do, coming from stock, so well worth the $$
Best bang for your buck would definitely be bilsteins. If you don't do much off-road then bilsteins will be plenty good enough
I used Bilstein 5100s forever on previous trucks and they worked well and gave me some added lift. I now run Bilstein 6112s in front and 5160s in the rear. More expensive set up but way better ride than any Rancho shock could give you.
I have Bilstein 5100’s on my ‘15 and love them. Leveled the front with them to within a 1/4”.
Did you test the ride quality at different ride heights? I think if you raised up about an inch you would see that these are vastly superior to stock suspension. I had mine moderately low then raised them up 3/4 inch and the ride quality is much better. I have B16s.
This is the way.
I'm running 4600's on my blazer and they've been great.
I have B8 5100s in my 4Runner. Off-road or on-road I have never had an issue with them. I thought they were a noticeable improvement over my stock ride in terms of comfort, even with the 2" lift.
The Bilsteins put somewhat of a level on it, and this may be a n00b question, but curious if they can be modified to add a couple inch lift to the truck? It could use it with the bigger tires.
I had 4600s on my k1500 and it still rode awful. Tried Pro Comp premium shocks and they were even worse vs the 100k Bilstens.
