I've just installed 5100s at all four corners. The new shocks nicely compliment my rear anti-sway bar and upgraded front anti-sway bar. My truck handles nice and flat on curves of all kinds.
I went 140k miles on my original tokico blues (Mazdaspeed Protege) but they should have been replaced around 100k. They handle great and you could probably autocross on them without much trouble
bought mine on autohausaz 179513031 KYB Shock Absorber; Rear; Gas-A-Just they work great. Technically the best? No probally not the best in the world. but they are OEM equivalent.
Koni yellows will improve the ride, it's a worthwhile upgrade.
I replaced all four shocks/struts with Bilsteins, reusing the Tein springs. This time the setup is awesome. Much improved handling and ride.
So to play safe with any height of spring setups, you add Koni Yellow shock absorbers.
Had 4600s on my 93 k1500, and they were great until they wore out.
I've been impressed with the set of Bilsteins I have on my truck, and they're reasonably priced too.
They eat shocks, brakes and sway bar bushings/links.
When I broke down the struts, I was surprised to see they were completely blown. Konis usually fare much better. But, I’m using Bilsteins as replacements so all will be well soon enough.
