Bilsteins?

[Fieldoc]

2018 southfork longhorn with coils. Which Bilstein, 4600 or 5100? Not wanting to level but of the two which will preserve the ride that the Ram is known for. When go over bumps, road seams etc , seems that the box shakes a little making me think that the shocks do not keep things from resonating so to speak. Not interested in it feels more like a truck ride but if helps with that shaky unplanted bump feeling and still keeping factory ride?

I only have experience with the 5100's. I have mine set at 2.8 and it rides OEM smooth imo. OEm height should be just as good.

Put the 5100's on mine recently and it now has a much more planted feel. When you go over bumps, the wheels get back to the ground quicker. Truck doesn't dip as much in the turns either. Set mine at 1.4 which doesn't seem very common but I like the stance and like a bit of rake. Should help out when towing also. I was going to wait to do this mod but scored the fronts brand new plus the dee zee tailgate shock brand new for $140. Couldn't pass it up and glad I didn't. Truck only had 8500 miles at install.

Either one will improve the ride over stock. Since you don't want to level, I suggest the 4600's.

The 5100's right better than stock. I installed mine a few months back and set them to 1.4 and it brings the front up just enough to take some of the rake out. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade.
