nother bilstein question

[smykowski]

I know this has been asked but my search capability is failing me.

I want to level the front of my truck with the 5100's, which ones do i need exactly???? I've seen about 8 different opinions with all different part #'s....

(2005 QC 4x4 5.7)

sorry for a duplicate question but it's kind of frustrating.

A level is 2" so you need these and the level kit itself

4 Bilstein Shocks 02-05 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 0-2" lift @Top Gun Customz

thanks dave!

No problem

Thats a good kit, when I did mine I had to use different shocks and replace the bushings and eyelets. I would say that kits the best buy for that whole setup.

3rdstrike has em now too. Didn't think they would work for older than 06 but I may just be thinkin of the coil spacer part of leveling differences.

 

[smykowski]

do you have a link? i'd rather support a vendor than some random place. Lastly, are the shocks all that's needed or do these go in conjunction with something else?

Cant the OP use these, and level out with them? According to bilstein, they will provide up to 2.5 inches of lift up front...then he wouldnt have to worry about using spring spacers?

I couldn't find any of the ride height adjustable ones for an 05, they make em for 06-10 grr!

Yeah, I would much rather NOT use spacers if I didnt have too to level out...just buy those and have better ride quality in the long run.

I thought that was the case they are 06 up. OP has to crank the tbars or get new torsion keys. Sorry don't have a link but just click on the 3rd strike performance icon on the top right of your screen and search bilstein 5100's.

well i'll keep looking, i can't do much with the truck anyway since my hand is still split open.
