I prefer the ride of the 6112/5160 configuration. They are a bit stiffer at first, but once they're broken in, you'll see a huge improvement on and off-road (handles washboards/logging roads, moderate trails, and highway driving beautifully).
I put 5100’s on my ‘18 4Runner and it was a massive improvement firming up the horrible body roll from the factory.
Been rocking the 5100’s on my TRD OR, no complaints and going strong after 2 years.
I started out with 5100s and they were definitely an improvement over stock both on and offroad. I noticed a huge difference when I upgraded to icon 2.5 coilovers though, which are closer to the 6112s.
I replaced my Limited’s stock suspension with Bilstein 5100’s at 65k myself...the truck rides great on and off road now, literally no downsides.
I have a 2002 Yukon with a leveling kit and Bilstein 5100 all around. The ride is way better like Gorilla said. It feels lighter and takes the bumps very smooth
I've been running Bilstein 4600's on my 04 Titan(Stock Height) for almost two years already.Though its not driven everyday of the week,I drive it casually and the shocks and struts have been holding up well.They're a tad stiff,but overall still comfortable for street and highway driving.And they feel stronger than many other Titans I drove with oem.
I put 5100s on my 2007 Titan back in 2016, and they still ride great.
My suspension progression has been S-line stock -> Euro S-line springs on stock dampers -> Bilstein PSS10 -> Ohlins R&T with Euro springs. I did like a lot of aspects of the Bilsteins, but they are just a little too harsh for me on uneven pavement around town
I had a 2018 Z71 and went with the Rancho RS 9000XL Quicklift. Was a great setup. I now have a 2020 AT4 and put on a set of the Bilstein 5100’s. Don’t like them at all. Ride quality is not much better than the factory and I still have the rear end hop going over bumps at speed.
