    I am thinking of purchasing a pair of coilover adjustable struts to replace my cheap spacer lift.
    There are a lot of products available but which ones are the best?
    I dont mind paying a little more if theyre high quality and durable.
    Ive read a lot of threads Recommending bilstein 5100. But ive also read that they are bad about leaking.
    are they bad about leaking if used heavily offroad? Or are they just not a very durable product?
    What about FOX? KING? TOYTECH?
    Some are a little more expensive than others but what is the real difference between them?
    Are some more suited to offroad use?
    I dont want to spend $900 if a set for $500 will work just as well for daily driving with occasional offroad use.

    Does anyone have experience wigh the different brands?
