I have a 2010 1500 5.7 4x4 and Im looking to lift it at some point. Could I get bilstein 5100's for the front to level it out for now and then down the road install a 6" lift in conjunction with the bilsteins? Also, any opinions on rough country? Offroading? Longevity/Durability?

Yes. You can level out the front end of your truck with bilsteins, and then use them in conjunction with a lift kit. There will be many with opinions but the rough country lift is seen by many as a cheaper component, looks only street lift. If your gonna be doing any off roading/wheeling you should look into zone/BDS.

Yes, you can run the Bilstein's on a lifted truck . That's exactly what I did with my 14 Express. I leveled with the Bilstein's and then later down the road I installed a 6" BDS lift and set the front Bilstein shocks up one notch to level the truck. It's been over three years with no issues.
