I'm running Vogtland 55mm drop springs on Koni Orange STR.T shocks (daily driver) and the setup has ~50K miles on it thus far (OEM had 80K miles).
Pros: good daily driver setup
Mileage: 80000 km

I have switched my Ranchos out to Bilsteins 6112 in the front and 5100s in the rear...
Pros: longer bodied
Cons: premature failure
Bilstein 4600 at a minimum. Quality shocks make too big of a difference, you definitely get what you pay for.
Pros: quality shocks, big difference
Cons: shitty ride
Vehicle:
Ford
Part number: 4600
The combo 6112/5100s ride much better than stock, although it was a bit firm to start.
Pros: ride much better than stock
Cons: bit firm to start
I have 6112/5160. Rides well. Quite firm at first but that may have been new springs breaking in.
Pros: rides well
Cons: quite firm at first
I had 6112s on my 3rd gen 4R and it drove awesome and felt planted (for a lifted truck). When I bought my 470 it came with 5100s already installed. It feels comparatively tippy/sloppy.
Pros: drove awesome, felt planted
Cons: tippy/sloppy
I have 6112 up front with 5100s for the rear. I have upgraded the springs that net me ~.5” lift after adding the RTT, etc. rides great - highly recommend.
Pros: rides great, highly recommend
Hi All, just crowdsourcing for good shock absorbers for Toyota Rush.
Vehicle:
Toyota Rush
Currently I run fox on my GX and King on my LC. King is less comfy but way more planted.
Pros: more planted
Cons: less comfy
Rock Auto had Monroe shocks & struts for $12 & $8/ea for it, so I bought new. Turns out that's what came out of the car and his weren't too bad but let's face it, they're garbage.
Pros: cheap price
Cons: garbage quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Fox
