Default 5150 Bilsteins Shocks?

I am getting a 4in lift and i was looking at 5150 bilstein's shock and i was wonder if they are worth the extra 400 and how good is the ride quality?

If you want the best ride quality then yes they are worth it.

you could just get the 5100s. they are cheaper. the fixed resi is for added oil for more high speed stuff. plus they look cooler. i run 5150s up front and 5100s rear. one of the better things i have purchased.

i had 5150 at all 4 corners of my jeep. I ended up breaking the top eye off of one of the rear shocks. I replaced them in some Rancho RS5000? shocks cause i had a wheeling trip the next weekend. Wow! what a difference, Ranchos are junk.

x2 on the 5150s up front and 5100 on the rear.
