I really like how my Bilstein 5100s ride. They have different notches in the body for the different height settings from stock to 2.5" lift, iirc. I originally had mine at the stock, but put them one below the top height shortly afterward. Night and day difference in ride quality in both settings over the worn-out stockers.
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.
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 have 5100s with 2.25" of lift and I've lost 2" of downtravel
Bilstein 5100 are trash unless you're just doing pavement princess driving. Teeth shattering stiffness. I hate them.
