Bilstein shocks come with beefy bushings that last and last. Bilstein shocks seem to be perfectly tuned for the weight of your ride. Stock suspension geometry go with yellow 4600 shocks. Lifted suspension go with 5100 shocks. With bilstein shocks you haul azz on crappy roads and the truck will be more stable.
Ivee seen lots of trucks on the road with aftermarket rear shocks and the bushings dont last.

Would it surprise you to know many Bilstien engineers and tech/reps actually say they should have/could have done better for the Ranger, but don't? If only I recorded phone calls..
I have to agree, Bilstien does.., alright best bang for the buck if you will but there's still better out there but lets face facts. The Ranger community at large persistently seeks out the cheapest answer for a shortcut.
Toyota and Nissan guys who get Bilstien shocks stock eagerly chuck them to the roadside for far better gear and its almost as if, Ranger guys find gold bars scrapping up the leftover and discarded parts like they're the best things ever next to front pockets in Levi's...
It should be no wonder why the lack of vehicle support is spotted at best if not non existent for us. Few support the aftermarket in of itself, how do you expect to get market support whenever someone comes up with things and everyone's like "yea, yea,... yea!" but then picks at the support like a kid refusing to eat there asparagus and does nothing to support itself?
