There is a pdf on their site that gives an explanation of how they are different from spacers or pre load spacers, but basically they are adjustable shocks for lifting the front end of your truck.

Correct, I'm trying to find some shocks to make it ride better. I dont expect it to ride like a cadilac but i got some ranchos now and they ride like complete poo!

They do not have adjustable Bilsteins for the 2nds gens.
I currently have the 5100s on and over stock hit rides like a Cadillac, but again it is a SFA.

They are just smooth running shocks, took advise from fellow dodge owners and installed a set on mine two years ago and love them.
