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 daily Koni Special Actives like the other guy, love them.
My roads are also NOT well maintained and the Koni shocks/struts are more comfortable than the M-Sport shocks/struts I started with.
I have regular Bilstein HD shocks at stock height. Also downsized the front anti roll bar from 28mm to 24mm. It rides really nice.
Don’t cheap out on the shocks. I had ranchos then I got bilstein 5100s and it was night and day. I have no problem driving it 700 miles round trip to Moab and back.
I have the B6s on my 18 XT. They are stiffer than original shocks, but certainly not overly so. They should have been stock, as far as I am concerned.
I had Koni yellow with stock springs. Maybe a little better than the stock shocks but started leaking after a few years. Didn’t want to screw around with sending them back to Koni and waiting for their warranty.
I have a K1500 with the 6.5 diesel. It rides like literal shit. I bought the Koni Red adjustable shocks to try and deal with it. It also rode like shit with the factory bilsteins everyone uses as a go to
