Just another set of example pics for the Bilstein 5100 Adjustable Shock Absorbers. Before photos = stock 2016 1500 Express 5.7L HEMI 4x4 crewcab / crew cab. Strictly speaking this is neither a lift or a level job. With the Bilstein, you are simply replacing the front shock absorbers and adjusting where the bottom of the coil springs sits, allowing your truck to look like it has been lifted. Mine is dialed to the maximum setting of 2.75" inches... which essentially makes the front end look like its around 3" inches higher than stock. Personally I hated the way the stock front end rake looked... and since I do not ever plan on towing anything, this is a massive improvement. I have also driven it around 200 miles around town, going over speed bumps, maybe a couple of test curbs and there is a pleasant, but not-drastic, improvement in front end handling. In other words I don't quite cringe as much when I see a speed bump, or a pothole coming at me.
