I've had both...ran the 4600 HD's on my '04 Lariat front and rear and now have the 5100's front and rear on my '13. Both give a firmer ride especially with LT tires but offer better handling and ride control then the stock shocks. Pretty much the same shock on the inside but the 5100's have a longer travel and the option to level the trucks front if you want. For the price difference I'd go with the 5100's. I don't know how much you're planing on towing but if in the 6K pound range and up airbags can be installed later to level the rear of the truck if it sags too much.

Is there a shock anyone suggest???
