Looking to make a big improvement in truck ride quality

2018 Silverado 1500, Rancho level and shocks, factory 20" wheels with spacers, Toyo rt 33x11 (275/60r20).
Thinking Bilstein 5100's on new 18's with proper offset and tires.
Drive on dirt roads with potholes for work everyday and I'm tired of being thrown around. Looking for any setups that people have found that work.

That truck will never ride good with a level.
Bilstein shocks ride rough as shite, get fox
Get smaller rims and tires with more side wall, toyo rt has a very stiff sidewall. An all terrain will ride better.
Run minimum amount of air pressure to get good tire wear

I like my 5100s and have had them on 4 vehicles. I don't consider them to ride rough, but I consider them to ride like I'd expect a truck to ride. I look at this as a good thing though because I feel like the stock F150 ride is far too soft and rolls too much in the corners.

i have 5100's on my f150 on the second to highest setting with 275/65/20's. Honestly i did not think it rode bad until i had a loaner truck for a few days. It definately rides harsher with the 5100 on stock coils. If you really want a softer ride but higher height, get the taller springs and upper control arms. The GM's are know to have weak upper control arms to begin with.

Where do you buy/order them from? I can't find any local dealer on their website.

Oh Lord, I had the stock coilovers with the cheap spacers on top for a while. That was horrible. I do have new UCA's and extended coilovers currently.

I think I ordered my last set from 4 Wheel Parts. Just got a local shop to install them but I made sure they were familiar with them first.

I love my 5100s. I see baws bouncing down the interstate and my shite don’t bounce.
Those Toyos are probably hard as a wedding dick and the 20” ghetto wheels don’t help baw.
My Toyota softened a bunch when I removed the Swaybar, but proceed with caution.

This. I got some fox 2.0s to soften the ride and it did nothing. Changed the coils and it's a world of difference.
