I put the Blistein 5100 Fronts on at 2.1.
For ***** and giggles the first thing I did was to engage 4 wheel drive. Had a hard time getting it out of 4 wheel the first time but since it's been fine.
Not sure if I can post this not being a site vendor, but I got mine last week from Jackit. They had them in stock.
You can absolutely post where you bought then from. I think they don't like it when people try to sell things from their shop on here. But no issues with saying where you bought something

I just installed Bilstein at 2.1 on my 14 Ram, only have about 500 KM on it and so far so good! I choosed 2.1 because there seems the be no issues at 2.1, most of the issues seem to have been with the 2.8 configuration. Also at 2.1 it almost leveled my truck, with a small rake of 3/4 of an inch. That's pretty much how I wanted it... I'm also sticking with stock wheels/tires...

How are you liking the Bilsteins? Is the ride harsh?

Same here, Bilstein 5100's all the way around @ 2.1" up front which got me to ~ within 1/2" level unloaded front to back, with 17x9 wheels and 33" tires, at about 500 miles with this setup (which includes pulling a trailer ~ 100 miles round trip, and one mild trip offroad) no issues on my '14 CCSB.

If you're looking for a cost breakdown, you're looking at something like this @ 4WP...

Shocks ~ $400
Install ~ $250
Alignment ~ $100

Edit: Ride is like butter, WWWWAAAAYYYY better than stock. Though with the 18' Traveleze trailer got a good bit of rear sag so installing Airlift 1000's this weekend.

Hope that helps!
