Default Need Help Finding Bilstein 5100s
I'm looking to level my new trunk and I've had a pair of Bilstein 5100s on backorder for almost two months now and getting tired of waiting. Does anyone know where I can find a set for the front of my 2012 1500 laramie, 4WD ?

Try summit racing. Ordered mine and received them 2 days later. This was a couple of weeks ago.

I saw your note and checked with them. THey are on BO until at least the 6th. You must have gotten their last set.

i moved this to the lifted section. A while ago 3rd Strike said they were on national backorder, so to get them is basically getting lucky to find a place that happens to have them sitting in stock

BTW...i though you ordered the HBS 2.5" spacers? Why are you not going to use them?

Thanks, I did order the 2.5" HBS spacers and have them sitting in my garage. Living in AK and in 4WD for 4-6 months out of the year I'm concerned with the vibration issue. Probably not a big problem if you’re in and out of 4WD some, but It gets used allot here.

I figure I can start at 2 or 2.5 with the Bilsteins and can adjust down from there if needed to stop the vibrations. The other option is a lift. I have 6 inches of clearance between the roof of my truck and the garage door. I understand that no one makes a 3 inch lift, and a four inch lift with tires would be pretty close to rubbing. It’s to darn cold here to have a vehicle that doesn’t fit in my garage.
