I just swapped over to the Bilstein 4600s recently. I've put about 1K miles on them so far and they're great. Had both OEM and KYB previously.
I've got OEM LC rear springs, and no lift. I do use the TIMBREN SES system (Front and rear) to aid with towing and added weight.

So, I received my OEM shocks today (ended up buying them at the local dealer, which ended being about exactly the same price as buying them online and having them shipped), and I just want to confirm the correct order in which the retainer plates are installed. The retainer plates on my Monroe shocks are quite a bit different. I'm sure it will make more sense when I actually start installing them on the truck, but any guidance is appreciated.
FRONT SHOCKS:
First, non-flanged retainer plus cushion.
Second, flanged retainer with thick flange.
Third, flanged retainer with thin flange.
Finally, non-flanged retainer and nut.
