Had them on for years with swift spec R springs. On 16s with 215/45 tires the ride is about a million times better than stock.
I also bought front shocks absorbers from autodoc for £70 each Bilstein B4 (really good brand)
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.
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 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.
All these shocks like Bilsteins, OME, etc are firmer than OEM, no matter what they say. They will limit lean more than OEM, but they will not be more comfortable overall than a set of new OEM shocks.
