2013 1500, Leveled with Bils, 1.5" Body Lift, 4" Zone Suspensionw/1" Rear Coil Spacer, and 35's. Running the Zone Nitro Shocks right now but looking for something that rides better. I get its a lifted truck and I'm not trying to make it ride like a Caddy but I am sure that there is a better set of rear shocks than the Zone Nitro Shocks. Im looking for "best riding shock i've ever put on my truck" recommendations. Basically looking for a very noticeable difference. Thanks in advance

120 views and not one person has a preference on shocks? Anyone?

I got the new Fox adventure series rears with my 6" Zone. They ride really nice and are supposed to be comparable to Bils 5100 rears.

Probably going to do the exact set up you have. Bils, zone 4, and I'm thinking of going Bils on the back as well.

Since the Bils have 1inch adjust on the back I'm assuming I could just forgo the spacer and have them raise them.

no. the bilsteins will compensate for 1" of rear lift. they will not lift the rear on their own.

Just spoke with Bilstein tech. They don't have a lifted Ram specific shock. He said I could measure the Zone shocks that came with the kit but he would just be recommending a generic dampening shock. Not specific to our trucks. Regular (0-1") 5100 will not work with a lifted truck. Not long enough.

My 4 inch Zone will be installed in 2 weeks. I ordered the upgraded Fox for the rear so went ahead and spent a bit more than the Bil's and ordered the Fox 2.0 for the front. Read many good things
