So I had the shocks swapped out on my 09 and got the blue and yellow Bilsteins. I got them because I had no interest in much of a lift if any. Well long store longer I got them put on and now I have zero rub even at full turn. I took it in for alignment and well I was paying the tech who did the alignment says, "That is a really nice truck.... I never thought I would say that about a Dodge."

I said you are a Chevy guy huh? he says yeah and we laugh. I OF COUSE pitch the Ram and explained how awesome they really are.

Walked out feeling great I just love when I open someones eyes. Yeah he may not buy a Ram but he won't talk **** anymore either.

Closer to level and higher than stock it is now the same height as Outdoorsman in front. I have LT285/65R20 All Terrains before when I would turn full lock to the left it would rub on the little bulge inside drivers side wheel well. Now rub free and more level.

No just the Bilstein HD shock and they blue and yellow not Chrome. They are same model for Outdoorsman and other 1500 4th gens it seems. It has it in the instructions what to do based on model since I wanted a bit higher I had him do it like Outdoorsman and then got an alignment.

I love the ride and also feel handling is better around the corners is much better.
