I have the Bilstein's and would recommend them. I've never owned the Fox but have heard they are a better choice for off road.

My last shocks were the B 5100's, great all around shock off and on road. Now running Fox 2.0 remote res that are nicer off road than the Bilsteins. Truth be told, the fox' are a stiffer ride on road, the 5100's were a smoother road ride. Either are nice though.

I couldn't be happier with the Fox remote res shocks. The ride is fantastic on and off road.

I just installed the Bilstein 5100s this evening. I had them on my Titan, and was very happy with the way they performed.
