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.
probably a matched set of springs and dampers like bilstein b12 pro kit are best for a daily. i love mine
I went the 5160/6112 route and love them. Coming from stock suspension for the first 50k it was amazing offroad but really helped with the on-road nosedive and with upgrade springs in the rear helped tremendously with the sag from my rtt trailer.
I’ll at least give them points for wanting to use top quality components. Bilstein are nothing short of the best when it comes to shock absorbers.
H&R sport springs 40mm, Bilstein B8s.
I run 33s with a 3 in lift. Biltein shocks.
I run 285’s with my 5100’s. No rub, just have your alignment tech do their thing.
Those appear to be Bilstein B6 or B8 shocks. They're Bilstein's sportier upgrade over the OEM replacement B4 shocks. The difference between the B6 and the B8 is that one of them is made for lowering springs and the other is designed for stock height. Because these are just struts and not coilovers, the ride height is not adjustable.
I have 5100s with 2.25" of lift and I've lost 2" of downtravel
I’m actually not a huge fan of the bilstein after having the 5100 on for a couple years now.
