Bilstein

My suspension on my 2006 F150 FX4 is stock right now, and I am in need of new shocks and struts. Is there much difference between the Bilstein 4600 and 5100? Which is generally preferred?

I only off-road for hunting and fishing and I tow a boat 4-6 times a year to the lake.

I've always used Bilsteins in the past but the last set I got for my 08 4x4 really disappointed me. I put less than 30,000 on the HD yellow Bilsteins and they were DONE! I do mild off road in the desert but mostly freeway. I went with Monroe Reflex and so far I am very happy with them, not teeth shattering ride, not as stiff as Bilstein.
