I ran Bilstein 4600s for a few years, then swapped to Bilstein 5100s with a 2\" spring lift. They are firm, but work very well.
i get about 4” of lift with the OME 884 on bilstein 5100s on my V6 with no weight. even though it’s advertised as 2.5”
I did a suspension replacement in late November with the same Bilstein 5100s and the stock springs to level the 4runner and I love how they immediately improved my ride
Monroe is the way to go honestly. They are some of the best on the market for OEM fit.
Why don’t you just replace the shocks if that’s all that’s blown? Go with stock size OEM or Bilsteins if you’re not looking for a lift
I installed the Bilstein B6 shocks. I can happily report back that not only has handling improved noticeably, but the real shocker is that the ride quality also improved significantly. It's much smoother on broken pavement despite also being much tighter and flatter, so the car is both more comfortable AND more sporty. The difference in ride quality was night-and-day on horrible roads. Even on OEM springs it is a vast improvement and seems perfectly matched. Be aware it slightly lifts the car about 1/2 inch.
I put Bilstein on the front of my BMW and KYB on the rear and the car drives like a new one.
I totaled my beloved 2020, and got a 2021 recently, the only difference being the Bilsteins to lift, still setup by Primitive Racing. I immediately broke myself to get all the same stuff as the 2020.
I'm running Bilstein on the rear with the quadralift airbags. Seems to be a decent match.
Dont go Bilstein 5100. They rode nice at first, but then rough and didnt last long.
