Should I go for Bilstein HD on all 4

I love my 2000 TR5 6Cyl 4 Runner and since I changed to Bilstein in my BMW and feeling such a welcome change been thinking on changing my stock shocks in my 4 Runner to Bilstein.
Any experience here with this?

:thanks:

You should post this question in the 3rd gen section. They will be able to answer your question. I have heard great things about the bilsteins and are highly recommended on the site. Good luck.
 
I got the Bilstein HD's... and while they are nice and help cushion a lot of stuff that I used to feel... I dislike the amount of body roll I have now. It went from a relatively nice stiff feeling to a cadillac-ish boatiness..

I think I just went with the wrong ones. I wish I'd have gotten the Bilstein 5100 series shocks.
 
I have a 98 limited and just finished doing HD Bilsteins and sway bar bushings two days ago. I had Tokico's and now notice an improvement in steering response, it absorbs small bumps, smoother travel and crisper steering input.
The floaty thing mentioned earlier...yeah its not stiff but I like that. I just sold my 08 GTI that had PSS9 Bilsteins and can honestly say I didn't like the ride quality because it was too stiff. I also own a Mercedes CLK 430 with H&R coils and HD Bilsteins which is lowered and has a better ride quality than oem.
I like control but I like smooth control even more.
