It shows a different model # for 5th gen vs 4th gen. Assuming valving difference but anyone know if the 5th gens are same length or possibly taller?

2 diff Gens .... 2 diff PN’s .... 2 diff shocks .... Just get the right one for your truck ....

Same fit though. Some of the parts can transfer. If it’s taller it would increase down travel and reduce preload. That’s also how the higher end coilovers are setup. The newer rams use the same mounting but readjusted the strut to sit at a different ride height.

Anyone running these with the upgraded mopar UCAs? Can you push those to the highest clip without stressing the ball joints?

5th gens are taller and would work in a 4th gen. They would net an extra inch

May have to look into that then and see because if I can save some preload would be awesome and get extra length. I may email them for better info

I found some info. They measure 22” and the ones for 4th gens are 21.5” so 1/2” longer. Worth it? Maybe. If I can find some.
Edit: I did email them as well so I can make sure lengths.
Edit: bilstein replied. They said they cannot release the collapsed and extended lengths and told me if I need something I could order custom as they do not recommend using parts from other vehicles for liability reasons. So until further measurements are released...

The clip ring grooves are located higher as well. And since 5th gens are the same part for 2wd and 4wd there are more clip choices

I have someone with a used set from a 4th gen so I’ll probably just buy theirs. Super low miles. I still have a 1/2” top spacer I can use to get that 1/2” longer and use slightly less preload to keep my desired height.

Right on
