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.
I just got four replacement bilstein b4s for my 2015 Golf from rock auto they were $301 shipped. Sure they aren’t the cheapest but it’s still reasonable and you get a lifetime warranty.
I put a set of of monroe oe spectrum for my wife's tahoe 6 months ago and replaced them again yesterday with some billstein 4600s. It's worth spending the extra money on them.
I put in 5100’s and wished I had spent the extra few hundred bucks for the 6112’s.
“Upgraded” to Bilstein 4600s with 99’ springs not too long ago and they’re way too rough. You can feel just about every bump in the road and it’s extremely jarring and uncomfortable.
