Best mid budget suspension upgrade for daily hwy driving and mild offroading

[EarleyTimes]

Do you have an update?

Just finished installing my Bilstien 6112/5160 combo. Only went on a short 5 mile test drive, but they feel great. Very composed over bumps. You feel them, but at the same time it’s super smooth.

Installed them myself, so I’m out of pocket $1000 for pretty good setup.
Well. $1400ish since I had previously install some ReadyLift UCAs previously.

Any pictures?

I can snap some tomorrow. In general it doesn’t look any different than the 2” front spacer I had previously. The shocks sure look nicer though!.

Thanks for the input everyone, I really appreciate it. Here’s a small update:
1) I have ordered the Rough country 3.5” kit with the front struts and upgraded V2 mono tube rear shocks. Ordered through my shop, parts, labor and alignment: $1500.
2) Gibson has shipped my cat back system. Should be here Friday
3) wheels/tires: this is keeping me up at night. I think I’ve got it narrowed down so I’ll share what I have so far; (side note) I have to purchase through Discount Tire
Wheels:
1. Method nv605 black 20x9 -12 offset
2. Raceline gauge 950b 20x9 0 offset (leaning Towards these)
3. Black Rhino Barstow (black or bronze?) 20x9 +18 offset
4. Most interesting/unique: Fifteen52 Turbomac HD (co-designed by Ken Block) black or bronze 20x9 -12 or +18 offset

Ready to buy now, just have to decide

Mods: if I need to move this to a “build thread” please let me know.

So how is the ride and what did you decide on? Looking at this set up or wait for 6112?
