I LOVE the 5100s on my '20 Z71. The Ranchos had almost zero damping. Going over speed bumps at my kids' school used to cause the truck to wallow around for a second or two before settling down. There's none of that now with the 5100s. It really does feel like a different truck. Very planted.
New Monroe (factory supplier, found their stampings on the shocks) front shocks en route.
I got a e92 328i with sport suspension, just put some b4s on this summer. Im liking them, think they are a little stiffer than the stock.
when you guys order your bilstein b4's, do you order them for alltrack or SW? i suppose you want them for SW so their not valved for the taller springs on the AT right?
Bilstien. Price for performance can't be beat.
Bilstien’s, just ordered a new set cause my truck is getting bouncy, They’re recommended every 100k.
Monroe OE Spectrum. It had better valving than what comes stock. Where I live it’s about 70-80 a pair so easy on the wallet and produces a nice smooth ride.
It might not matter, but those 5100’s are specifically valved for stock springs. I realize people put aftermarket springs on with them, but your best ride is going to be with stock.
The Bilsteins put somewhat of a level on it, and this may be a n00b question, but curious if they can be modified to add a couple inch lift to the truck? It could use it with the bigger tires.
I got them on my 97 Yukon and they do not off-road too terribly well, and feel too soft. I bottom out and bumps and they’re only like a year old.
