Had fox 2.0's (4) on the front of mine, 2.5's on the rear(2). Dampened 40" tires pretty well. I liked them.... never ran bilsteins though so i cant compare.
Can't compare to Bilsteins but I have been very happy with my fox 2.0 remotes. I've had the valving adjusted by fox to get them dialed in perfectly. I use them mainly on the street but also run it pretty hard in the sand dunes a few times a year & they were able to find a very good balance.
The only complaint I have is that I spent the extra $$ for the chrome finish which corroded pretty badly. I then spent a lot to have them rebuilt with new chrome bodies & now 9 months later they're already starting to corrode!

The Fox shocks can be valved, by fox or anywhere that services shocks, for any rebound & dampening you desire. How you valve them all depends on your needs. Most people just run em as they were out of the box. The perfect valving for street, track & offroad are all different so if it's a multi use truck it's about finding a happy medium. I'm not nearly as familiar with Bilsteins so I can't remember if the 5100's are a serviceable shock.
