~ REAR shocks (RS7000 vs Bilstein 5100's)
Im going to add a 2007 rear 2" block to replace my stock block to give a bit more lift in the back. While I am doing the install I was gonna upgrade my crappy stock shocks and looking for a good replacement.
CAme across these three options and wanted to get everyones opinion. (Bilstein 5100's v Rancho RS7000 v ProComp ProRunner)
The Bilsteins seem to get mixed reviews on harshness and there are not much info out there on the RS7000's.
Price is comparable...I can get them both for around $70 a piece ($140 total)
Anyone have REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE with these two? Not looking for opinions on those who think they know based on "here Say"

What do you have on the front?? Recommendation would be to match that. But, based on those two shocks you've listed you really can't go wrong. My experience with Both is either one will be awesome and I'd bet dollars to doughnuts you'd never know which shock you had even on a good day. If it were me, pick the one you have any brand loyalty to and don't look back!
But...if you're still stock on the front, my recommendation is still to save the money and do all four corners with a matching, balanced brand/set/product.

I'm stock up front for now....but will be changing them after a while.
As mentioned....I am gonna change out the blocks and was gonna do the rears at the same time so I was gonna go ahead and do it now.
Up front Im really stuck on either the Rancho Quicklift or the Bilstein 5100's. undecided but will match the rear when I do them.....so that leads me to the question on whioch setup is better overall!?
Rancho Quicklift w/ RS7000's
or
Bilstein 5100's all the way around
or
Pro Comp ProRunner SS in front w/Pro Runners in back
