I'm confused, Bilstein 4600 vs 5100 vs 5150
Ok so I a looking into a new set of shocks to improve the ride of my stiff rancho rs5000s. You friendly people at yotatech have helped me a lot. So far I'm my research I have gathered the following info.
4600: cheaper than the other two, softer than the other two, and are the oem replacement bilstein for stock height trucks
5100: more serious shocks for mild lifted vehicles, firmer ride than the 4600. Shiny exterior.
5150: the top dog 46mm shock short of the 7100 series.
Is there any incorrect info in this. I'm looking to upgrade for my sig vehicle and would like a more comfortable ride, but be able to gain a little bit of offroad speed. Thanks for reading!

Yes to all that and any one of these will be a huge improvement over those rs5000's. The 5150's have the attached remote res and that's the only real diff between those and the 5100's, at least to my understanding. I have 5100's up front and 5150's in the back and love them. I went with the soft valving for my truck but you may want the stiffer valving for that heavier truck, I'm not sure on that.
