Fox Vs Eibach Vs Bilstein Shocks?

Let me hear your guy’s choices and why.
TIA!

 

Fox > Eibach > Bilstein. Assuming we're talking the low end comparable stuff. Fox is arguably the best shocks being built right now. Eibach is extremely good for the money. Bilsteins (like 5100s) are like cheap Eibachs. Eibachs and Bilsteins are both throwaway, so they're kind of in a separate tier than Fox which can be rebuilt and last forever.

What about moderately priced bilsteins like 6112/5160 which are both rebuildable? Eibachs still better?

 

I spoke to two different site vendors about Eibach Pro Truck vs Bilstein 6112 and they both recommended Eibach.

 

Eibach’s valving is significant better than Bilstein’s.

 

I think it also depends on what you plan on doing with your truck. For me personally, the Bilstein 5160/6112 were a great value for the cost. Now mind you I’m not rock crawling every week, and haven’t done anything extreme in terms of off-roading (still have stock bumpers) but it does see some easy/moderate off road excursions and does very well for daily driving.

 

I got the 6112/5160 just based on the great reviews - both on this forum and when speaking to shops about what they have and what they recommend. To me the next step up (and a huge step) would be adjustable Fox or Kings
