Discontinued Bilstein 5100's??? 3rd Gen (solved) // DIY
My Truck: 2002 Ram 1500 4x4 QC
I have been searching for the last two hours trying to find bilstein 5100s that fit my truck. i've checked summit and about 10 other websites and i can't find the front ones only rears. Did they discontinue making them? I checked Bilsteins website and didn't see the fronts either. Does anyone have a link or a recommendation on something equivalent to get?
I plan on cranking my Tbars and replacing my shocks but i can not find them anywhere
**** Solved ****
Alright after continuing my search I came across this post (Which is a nightmare to read with part numbers thrown around like crazy) feel free to read if you'd like
SHOCK PART #'s for T-BAR CRANK - DodgeTalk : Dodge Car Forums, Dodge Truck Forums and Ram Forums
Basically these are the parts numbers
BILSTEIN
1)Bilstein 5100 series part # BE5-6243-H5
2)Bilstein 5125 series part # BE5-6140-T5
You will also need to order these:
Bushings 98108G (2.99$)
and
Sleeves 423730 (3.99$)
While doing searches for these I was using my truck as the search truck but according to this post it's technically for a different truck but supposed to fit. The lowest I have found is actually on amazon at 78$ a piece with free shipping. I'm going to try and get around to doing the install this weekend so we shall see how it goes.
Some DIY videos and how tos
