The Gas-A-just model is pretty stiff, go with the excel g’s. They have a much smoother ride.
Pros: much smoother ride
Cons: pretty stiff
I’ve been happy with the 6112/5160 bilstein combo. I just did it it at about the same mileage 245k. Rides smooth and absorbs bumps pretty well.
Pros: rides smooth, absorbs bumps
Mileage: 245000 km
My factory shocks were all totally blown and I did replace those with Bilstein 5100. You lose the electronically adjustable shock valving by not replacing with factory but...meh.
Cons: lose adjustable shock valving
I actually did Bilstein 5100 all the way around with .85” lift in front (to “level” out the rake) but kept my rear airbags and did a slight adjustment to the rear ride height sensors for the level. Mine rides great and I like that I still have the self leveling rear.
Pros: rides great, self leveling
Add new Ironman shocks.
Cons: rough as guts
Vehicle:
Toyota Hilux
Actually, it rides worse cause I went with Bilstein B6
Cons: worse ride quality
Vehicle:
BMW
