The ones I have in the truck are
Pro Comp ES 9000 white truck has a 4” lift 35” tires
2015 Chevy 3500 HD
Hope this is enough info. They just seem to soft when I go over the pass or rough road they bounce to much

Bilstein 5100’s are a good starting point for most trucks. I put a $2k fox kit on and highway ride was better more control and offroad high speed whoops were better but for general forest service roads the bilsteins provided a more comfortable ride offhighway. The fox didnt soak up the little stuff as well.Crazy you have the exact opposite feel of the Fox compared to Bilstiens in the little stuff . I was a Die Hard Bilstien guy ( still have them on my F 350 ) . Had them on my Jeep and loved them . Put a set of Custom tuned Fox 2.0s on it and OMG what a difference. Any railroad track or small bump with the Bilsiens was a sharp annoying thing, the Fox just soaked them up way better .
But anyway Bilstien 5100s , unless you want to pony up for Fox

I think the difference is mine was on a very soft sprung 1500 ecodiesel (900 lb payload). It rode very nice if you didn’t push it then it wallowed or bottomed out. My jeep is not plush on similar roads and no doubt would be better everywhere with fox.

I've noticed the same with the bilstiens on my Taco. They're great but things like rail road tracks are awfully jolting

Bilsteins on my Tundra worked greatSame here. I have 6112s with piggy back reservoirs and they are great. The 5100s i put on my old dodge made a world of difference as well.

I had a set of Bilstines on my Dodge 4x4. Wore out faster then the cheaper Monroes. Never again. Not worth the extra money.Was it a diesel? The Cummins weighs A LOT. Burns up everything in the front end. Ask me how I know...

No diesel. 2004 half ton. When I bought the new Monroes at NAPA, even the counter man said people have been saying the Bilstines aren't worth the money.I had a set of Bilstines on my Dodge 4x4.

My 2017 Ram 2500 had a Carli tuned suspension on it when I bought it with Fox 2.0 and it rides very nice.

Of all the info offered up here there doesn’t seem to be any Pro Comp users. I wouldn’t go with Pro Comp. I had them on my 2007 Ram 3500 and the front blew seals 2 times. Right before I sold it I put 2 new Bilsteins on the front. Couldn’t tell much of a ride difference but I will never buy Pro Comp again.

I had pro comps on my duramax. I think I replaced them at 110k with a set of the same. I didn't have any issues.

Agreed! Nothing like a bunch of oil blowing down the side of your rig from a blown shock seal.
