Bilstein or King?
Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of all you have experience with both or know any feedback about them and which could be better (overall= heat soak resistent, firmest, long lasting components, etc) between these two models which I'm looking for a lift of 2" for a Jk Rubicon used mainly for sand/dunes use and not for rockcrawling. That means sporty/fast driving in the sand/dunes, lot of irregular roads, etc etc. but att he same time it's a daily driver Jeep so I wouldn't like a super stiff nor bouncy Jeep for the daily use, just firmer overall. I know it has to go with some good matching coil springs, so no problem there.
Well here are they, not sure what are the PRON & CONS of both...
Suggestions?
Thanks

X2.. no need for the overbuild if thats what you are looking for. I run 5100s and plush till i get them on dirt roads at speed, then I want Kings.. Kings 2.5 in my future but for now happy with the 5100s.

Thanks for the input guys, but I would like to stick with either of these two models/brands in particular. I have experience in the past with regular well known brand shocks and for what I used to do with my modified XJ in the past, I know I will regret if I go with the 5100 sometime soon, rather spend more only once and get one of these sets Just would like to hear more details/feedback from all you.
Thanks
