I did the Bilstein 5100s and very happy with the result. On a 5.3 truck, the 2" cir-clip setting put the truck pretty level. Rides so much better.
Pros: rides much better

Personally I run the ultra heavy (500kg) shocks by Tough Dog, but I would recommend the adjustable mid duty for your application, again a little bit pricey, but you can adjust to your liking.
Pros: adjustable, to your liking
Cons: a little pricey
Vehicle:
Toyota Hilux
On my 2016 prius, I bought kyb structs and shocks for $400 installed it for 350
Pros: kyb structs and shocks
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
I recently did my shocks and struts from fcp also Bilstein and I have no issues or complaints
Pros: No issues or complaints
I just installed Bilstein B4 kit front and back on my 06 E90 last week. Feels amazing. Wish I had gone with B6 or B8 but the B4s are great.
Pros: Feels amazing, B4s are great
Cons: Wish for B6 or B8
Vehicle:
BMW
Bought full Bilstein B4 kit for my e90 w/ sports package. Great kit, came with everything you need to replace and all the smaller stuff like strut mounts etc… highly recommended FCP and the Bilstein replacements as the absolute best replacement for OE suspension. Bilstein is a high quality, reputable brand and well known in the industry.
Pros: Great kit, highly recommended
Vehicle:
BMW
I also just went through TreatyOak for a Dobinsons twin tube. 2.5 up front, new UCA, rear bag delete(1”) and 1” springs. Sitting nice and level.
Pros: sitting nice and level
I used Bilstein 5100 and Old Man Emu medium duty springs on my 04. Very cost effective way to get 2.5 inch lift and decent ride quality.
Pros: cost effective, decent ride
I had Old Man Emu shocks and springs put in my 07 sport. The XREAS was sagging severely to the left and was leaking fluid.
Cons: XREAS sagging, leaking fluid
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
I got them on my 97 Yukon and they do not off-road too terribly well, and feel too soft. I bottom out and bumps and they’re only like a year old.
Cons: feel too soft, bottom out
