Bilstein 5100's be a good idea?

[CopperBeauty]

Got a 2013 1500 Hemi Express, Have a 6" RC Suspension lift on the way with 20x10 Rockstar Machined rims with 37x13.50x20 Nitto Mud Graps. I have also ordered Boondock Front and rear replacement bumpers, Need some opinions on if getting the Bilstein 5100's would be a good addition to what I have on the way, I'm currently in Afghanistan on a deployment with the Army, but all will be sitting at home waiting for me to get back, Just need some thoughts!

i would get the bilsteins you can adjust up to 2.8" and it will ride better than the rc shocks

I don't have a 6" lift, but I love my 5100's. You can set them to what you need to level out your truck even with the 6" lift. Couldn't tell you how it rides though on a 6" lift. There are a few here that have this setup though that may chime in. Post some pics when you get home and get this installed. Thanks for your service!

Lots of guys running that very setup. I've heard no complaints.

You'll definitely want them with that bumper. It's gonna sag quite a bit up front. I'd set em at 2.8 to accommodate.

Thanks for the input guys, I think I'm pretty set on gettin' them now. Searched a little more and seen even more people that run the set up, and good thinkin' mattman_13 with the sag of the bumper, didn't even really think about that just yet.

Another question, would I need to get 4 shocks to put all around the truck because of the lift kit, or would I be able to just buy 2 for the front, the suspension lift kit comes with 2 new rear shocks. Or would running two different shocks be not a good idea? Suggestions?

Me personally I would have to buy all 4 shocks cause it would kill me to have mix match components of any kind aside from car audio lol.

Yeah you're right bout that, I'd probably go nuts thinking about that all the time lol.

I honestly have no complaints about my rough country shocks. I don't know what part # bils would he either for the extended length needed for the rear. I might swap someday though.
