I personally have Bilstein 4600 shocks, and they're pretty smooth after break-in.
Put mine on at 90k getting to 125k deep into a Canadian winter, couldn't be happier.
I have b4 shocks for sport suspension, the ride is never harsh, takes hits and potholes very well, but when cruising down a freeway the car is a little busy feeling as in firm/ with a slight jiggle but never harsh if that makes sense
Handles very well on backroads,
I just installed Sachs shocks, and I love the ride
I’ve had both for a rwd N52, currently on Sachs. But the Sachs are still really good and worth it for the savings over the B4.
I have a 2017 that I did 6112/5160s on and it's hands down my favorite mod.
I really like how my Bilstein 5100s ride. They have different notches in the body for the different height settings from stock to 2.5" lift, iirc. I originally had mine at the stock, but put them one below the top height shortly afterward. Night and day difference in ride quality in both settings over the worn-out stockers.
Billstein 5100s are pretty affordable ($130 each) and will perform better than the stock shocks. They’re pretty much the gold standard for value/performance for most midsize and full size trucks.
I replaced everything on my front suspension at 150,000. Went with Bilstein B4s, but I wasn't super happy with them when they were new. They're well-damped, but ride on the stiff side.
My bilstein 4600s lasted 50k miles and are blown.
