I had both. The bilsteins are worth the extra coin.

I got the 5100's with my lift. I have yet to install them but I was told that these are the best bang for ur buck shock. I can't wait to find out.

I chose the 5100s with my TF build. Just be sure to get the right size. After 3 trips taco'ing my sway bar links on the rocks I've finally diagnosed that the supplier sold the wrong size to my mechanic. Replacements just arrived.
