I got the Bilsteins and they are excellent on shitty CA highways. I would purchase them again and highly recommended.
I'm running Vogtland 55mm drop springs on Koni Orange STR.T shocks (daily driver) and the setup has ~50K miles on it thus far (OEM had 80K miles).
I have switched my Ranchos out to Bilsteins 6112 in the front and 5100s in the rear...
Bilstein 4600 at a minimum. Quality shocks make too big of a difference, you definitely get what you pay for.
The combo 6112/5100s ride much better than stock, although it was a bit firm to start.
I have 6112/5160. Rides well. Quite firm at first but that may have been new springs breaking in.
I had 6112s on my 3rd gen 4R and it drove awesome and felt planted (for a lifted truck). When I bought my 470 it came with 5100s already installed. It feels comparatively tippy/sloppy.
I have 6112 up front with 5100s for the rear. I have upgraded the springs that net me ~.5” lift after adding the RTT, etc. rides great - highly recommend.
Shock wise people say great things about bilstein 5100s, but I've got no experience with them.
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.
