Does anyone have first hand experience switching between Bilstein 5125 and Fox 2.0
From what I have read Bilsteins better for hwy handling and Fox better off road? Seems like most K5 owners go the Bilstein route anyone have Fox 2.0 that could tell me their experience

I have fox 2.0's on lifted my 2022 gmc service truck and they ride like a dream, I know that's different animal than your k-5 but just letting you know the 2.0's are a great shock.

My 77 k-5 has bilstein 5165 shocks all around , 255/70 valving and they work really well. I had white body hydro shocks on it before and on the street they rode better, (softer) than the bilstein's but off road they were way more bouncy. So are the bilsteins worth the money, not really but they sure look cool and they do a bit better off road. Maybe i would try the foxes
