For the really nice ride part, I got the Bilstein 5160 shocks. Install was a bit goofy, but manageable. They really make a huge difference compared to the rough country shocks I had on there. I fly into bumpy areas just to feel how nicely they dampen.
I've been really happy with my Bilstein 5100 shocks and OME heavy load springs with all of my added armor weight. After I picked up a trackbar correction kit and got my geometry right the rig rides better than any new truck!
I just put a set of Bilsteins on my 2016 GMC Acadia, and oh man, what a difference!
I think the billstein 5100 and 5150 are great. After the first set I bought, I've run nothing else.
I don't have a lot of comparison points, but I went Fox and love them. Great ride, but not at all sloppy, and really improved the handling.
Bilstein 4600 for a stock road Jeep. Not quite as squishy as a nitro shock like OME, but a significant upgrade over stock in both comfort and control.
Bilsteins have always been my go to. Nice and Sturdy at high speeds. Worst shocks I’ve had on my jeep were rough country
i have the bilstein b8 on my other car which is lowered sport dampers they are super comfortable and sporty
I then replaced the front with some Bilsteins (I forget the model) along with other suspension components (OEM) a few months later. These pretty much feel the same as stock to me.
I can relate. My B16's made strange noises from day 1. Then after a few months one of the rears collapsed. I gave up and just put the original stock shocks/springs back on.
