I have had the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks on the front of my 14 for about 50000 miles. I’m starting to get a clicking from them when going over a row of bumps at slower speeds. So I’m looking into some options for an adjustable shock to replace them with or do I just go with Bilstiens again?

Id get the same ones. My last set were on my truck for a rough 80k. New truck they went on 1 day after I signed my paperwork.

You could try eibachs but I’m not sure they’ll last 50k miles like the Bilsteins

Should you check with Bilstein? I put almost 200k on my 5100's on my Tundra and they were fine when I sold it. 50k doesn't seem like enough.

The clicking noise could be an indicator of improper installation, if I remember correctly. You might be able to get new strut top mounts and put them back together with the Bilsteins you have and be good.
