    Update here, I went with the bilstein 5100 front and back, and what an improvement. Certainly improved the ride and seems to be keeping the truck off the bumpstops on big hits. I've only had a few hard dips at speed that seemed to absorb it but throw the weight back up and settle again after a couple up and downs, really causing a lot of stress. Maybe stiffer leaf springs would help i don't know. Or it's because of the airbags I think I have one side at 45-50 (i'm heavy on the drivers side) and the other at 10psi. I still have the stock leafs with a Tuff Country add-a-leaf.

    The 5100's were worth every penny.

    Stock Bilsteins are not 4600s. They just happen to use the same color scheme. 4600 and 5100 both have 46mm pistons.
