How is the ride? Stiff or?
Ride seems to be pleasant, not stiff at all.
 
I replaced the rear factory Rancho shocks on my 2014 Sierra. I had a clunky noise coming from the rear suspension and found out one of my shocks was bad. I decided to go with Bistein 4600 per recommendations on a GM truck forum. They ride is maybe a little better then the OEM Rancho's but where they really shine is controlling bounce. With my factory shocks, the truck would continue to bounce when hitting a dip in the road at highway speed. With the Bistein the truck recovers almost instantly. Towing my boat seems to be a little more controlled too. A way better shock overall. I would like to replace the front OEM shocks with 4600's (or maybe 5100's if I decide to lift it a little).
 
Just wanted to say thanks to those who recommended the 5100s. I installed them today and adjusted the fronts to remove the "rake" that existed. The FX4 sits nice and level now and the ride quality is outstanding. After 150K, 3 of the 4 shocks were toast and the Bilsteins are awesome shocks.

Thanks again!
