Billstein 5100s are pretty affordable ($130 each) and will perform better than the stock shocks. They’re pretty much the gold standard for value/performance for most midsize and full size trucks.
Happy to report Dobinsons MRA92-A2522 12” travel fit quite neatly in the Archive Shock relo. The 3-way adjustment and massive finned external reservoir are clutch. The ride is massively improved.
I have the bilsteins, very happy with them.
How are the bilstein b4s holding up
My personal AT4 has Bilsteins on all four corners and it’s SOLID. A nice firm and consistent ride.
Predictable and controlled feel now. No rollover feel going into turns at higher speeds. Truck should have come through with these.
Billstein 5100s ride great.
For the actual shocks, I used BILSTEIN. B6 in the rear, B8 in the front. LOVE THEM. Drive an X6 though, stiff at first but after a work in really smooth.
I currently run Bilsteins, but looking to change to BC Racing ones. Only cos the rear on the Bilsteins don't go low enough (3 finger gap at the lowest rear setting).
Bilstein 5100 are trash unless you're just doing pavement princess driving. Teeth shattering stiffness. I hate them.
