Alright guys.. BILSTEINS post your pics!!!

[infernoxd45]

How do you like the ICON rear coils? I currently have ICON rear shocks now and want to add those. I ordered the front coil overs from ICON and those will replace the front Bilstein.
FYI, Bilstein are digressive vs ICON is digressive & linear. Personally, I am going all 4 ICON with their coils.
Anyways, lol, let me know how the ride is with the coils.
Thanks

The icons ride really nice! I prbly can’t accurately compare to stock since I didn’t put many miles on the truck before I swapped. But I’m happy with the ride now, for sure!

Now you need bigger tires.

I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

How do they handle a load in the truck?

Finally installed Bilstein 5100s front and rear. Set front at 2.1, left half inch rake. Put 1.5" supreme suspension spacers on. Great ride so far, feels more solid, planted. Bad pics with a Sloped Driveway.

So mevotec makes an economy, daily driver and heavy duty front control arms now. Which ones does everyone run with the bilsteins. I thought the ball joints were bolted in and not pressed as wel

 

[Rmauch]

Totally new Ram guy, so sorry for the dumb question. When putting on the bilsteins is it better to do all 4 or can a guy just do the front?

You can do just the front, but you’d be better off doing all 4. When I installed mine I did the fronts one day and the rears the next day. So I had one day driving it with just the front and the truck drove and handled better with all 4 matching.

Only 2WD but I added the Bilstein 4600's and put on the Falken AT/3's as well. Love the ride!

So I was looking more and more at my cv axles, I did my bils 2.5 years ago at an on base shop in kind of a hurry. My cv axles are damn near straight, so i got to thinking that what if my ******** set it at 2.1 and not 2.8..... well....

 

[Hemi395]

Yup looks like 2.1 to me. Trucks looks great like that tho[emoji106]

 

[fadetoblack188]

Bilsteins at 2.8
Rear 3/4 spacer
Stock rims

[jknappen]

Has anyone here just set their Bils to the .8 or 1 inch setting which is what the 2nd notch? If doing that would you still need to align? just a question is all really. not completely sure I want to completely level out but maybe just raise the front a little.

 

[Gary2]

I did at 1.4" and yes it needed it badly and you will also even at an inch. The IFS alignment changes any time ya change ride height not to mention tire prices today.
