It’s been mentioned above a couple of times. If you don’t want to go the Billy route, the KYBs have been recommend. They are 1/2 the price of the Billies and are reported to be closer to a stock ride. There are members here who actually are using them.

I have KYBs in mine and I'm not impressed. It's too stiff. I bought it this way and only has 3k miles on them. I have front and rear bumpers coming so I'm going to upgrade anyway.

Running sensen front and rear currently with better than stock ride height... moog springs in the back and preloaded sensen’s up front.

For the money, definitely a great quick refresh option

On my ‘98 gave a definite ride height boost over worn out original equipment

I have my Monomaxs on stock front springs and Moog replacement rear springs. It doesn't too rough to me, but the ride quality is very subjective to what you consider to be "smooth " or "rough".

I had tried some cheap Gabriel shocks and struts, took them off within 2 days. They handled worse than worn out OEM shocks. My intention was to use the Monomaxs for a year until I could justify a OME suspension. I really have no desire to change it out now.

Same here - running the Gas-a-Just with Moog 99 talls up front and OME 906 in the back. The ride is quite stiff to where you feel every imperfection on the road. Folks are saying Billies are even stiffer.. I drove a friend's 3rd gen with the same springs paired with OEM Tokicos and honestly didn't feel a difference. I'm considering swapping back to OEM springs unless I can find a lifted setup that is more tolerable.

Man I'm getting my 5th gen springs this week and shocks have been driving me crazy. What made you go with the 4600?

I have 5100s with OME 906 in the rear (I didn't plan any extra rear weight for a good while - 906's are considered mild and for stockish weight.) and they soak things up very well. On the road, I can hit a speed 'hump' a lot faster than I would in another vehicle and the combo is very well behaved - compression is smooth and no rebound kick. Silly example, I know, but your issue may be the strut pairing.

Just put 5100s on with 99 talls in front and Dobinson’s 137 in the rear.

5100’s not really any “stiffer”. More of a low/high speed compression and rebound tune. Handles rough terrain very well but still manages street - Not airing down tires felt like my old gas-adjusts with tires air’d down. Less brake dive, but at low speeds it’s wallowy. hwy is loose when swerving (this could be more related to the 1”-2” lift sensation from stock). Really good for blasting driveways etc, really smooth. Straight-on high speed dips and speed bumps, awesome. Just, not new SUV stiff or flat handling.

Get the idea? I like them
