Default Aftermarket front coil replacements?

Looking to replace my front struts with new drop ins not sure with what to go with I was told Moog was great... And I heard Monroe is another option and I can pick them up at any autostore. Also going to replace rear shocks with Bilstein 33-187501 5100 Series because I was told they are well rounded and last... Any input is well appreciated

How much do you want to spend? A lot of options but they are at different price points.

Any reason why you want drop in? The 5100's for the front are fairly cheap and it isn't that hard or expensive to take them to a mechanics shop and have them swap the springs over.

If you are set on drop ins
Look at the bilstein 6112's then.

Can't go wrong with bilstein 5100 if you just need struts and shocks. I am going with rancho quick lift 9000 series stuts/coils as I am overhauling the entire front end in the process and getting a little lift as well!.

You're worried about your coil springs breaking?

if you thought about a leveling kit now would be the time to get the Rancho Quick lifts. new springs and shocks already to bolt in. I am with you if you are doing all of it yourself, Monroe or Moog would be fine. you never stated whether 2wd or 4wd would also come into play.
