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.
Pros: levels the truck
On my 2007 GTI when my stock shocks went I paired the Eibach springs I had used with the stock shocks with a set of Bilstein B6's and it was literally perfection.
Pros: literally perfection
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
How do those ride compared to stock? I just got bilstein 6112s put on mine with SPC uppers and it rides way better than stock even around town.
Pros: rides way better
belstein 4600's are a great stock replacement, they came factory on the fx4 level 2's.
Pros: great stock replacement
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
Bilstein B14 (non-adjustable) or Bilstein B16 (damping adjustable, rebound + compression together IIRC) are also decent choices, and I believe there are versions that will fit both FWD and AWD GSWs. My Alltrack on B14s appears below. I have them set within 1/2\" of the top of their adjustment because the tires are 245s and I don't want too much rubbing. The can go at least 1.25\" lower.
Pros: decent choices
Cons: rubbing possible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
So far it rides really smooth, much better than the OEM suspension that has most likely been.
Pros: rides really smooth
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Part number: 24-261425
Bilstein B4s are cheaper but fail significantly faster.
Cons: fail significantly faster
The Bilstein B8's they have should be solid and properly valaved to the OE WRX spring rates. Bilstein makes good stuff.
Pros: solid, good stuff
Vehicle:
Subaru
