    Rocking bilsteins 5100s right now maxed out and they honestly just handle like crap. Looking for an upgrade without destroying my wallet.

    Lots of different options out there. Maybe try lowering clip settings? What tires and psi you running? Digressive shocks as well.

    You could keep the bilsteins, drop them to the normal setting and install a new longer coil spring so you’re getting lift from the longer spring instead of back-loading the stock coil. That’s why it’s riding like shit. That would be the cheapest fix for you.

    all tore up already
    Bilstein 6112/5160 combo is popular "good" suspension without being crazy expensive like kings or 8112. I've run mine for 6 years in new england and they are not looking too pretty but are still doing what they should
