Bilsteins?

[gibby252006]

Has anyone done the whole set up of 5100 around the truck. Was just wondering if I could use the 4WD; Series: 5100 Series; Rear Lifted Height: 0-1"; Rear; 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber as my rear spacer and set the front at 2.8. Anyone Know?

So question I was looking at two places for shocks and I was looking up the 5100s front and I see difference on them. Can anyone help.

2003-2012 Dodge Ram 2500, 3500 4wd (Front Lifted 0 - 2.5) - Bilstein 5100 Shock Absorber (Front) - 24-185776 | $76.95

The rear shocks dont bring the rear up at all as a "rear spacer" the "Rear Lifted Height" is how tall the truck should be lifted in the back for those to be applicable. Only the front ones are adjustable for "leveling" out the truck.

 

[gibby252006]

Any help on the front ones why Im seeing a 2.5 and the other site saying 2.75? Thanks. So at this time I dont need the rear really I can change it out when I Do my 6 in lift. Recommendation on rear spacer then?

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

Don't know of any rear spacer. And the Bilstein 5100 Front Shocks can go from 0"-2.8" settings I believe.

I have Bilsteins on all four corners. Max height in front and a one inch coil spacer from Hell Bent Steel in the rear.

 

[gibby252006]

Hows the ride? I was going to see if I could upgrade the rear ones that come in the RCX kit to 5100 rears.

 

[Texasez]

I think the rides better. Little firmer but takes bumps better. I've been happy with them. I wanted as much height as I could get with them and keep a little rake.

 

[gibby252006]

I cant find the inch spacer. You have a link for it?

 

[Texasez]

I told you wrong. I bought mine from top gun customz. Here's my order info. I think they changed the product number. You might call to make sure.

Thanks that really helpful.

 

[gibby252006]

Ok I feel dumb asking all these questions. Will the 5100 in rear work with the RCX 6 in lift as well?

 

[Texasez]

I'm not sure. Hopefully someone smarter than me will chime in. I only know about what I did. I'd be lying if I tried to tell you about the Bilsteins and that.

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

I don't think the 5100s work in the rear with a 6" lift.

I wonder if one of these could be cut down a half inch or so because the drivers side of my truck in the rear is 1/2" lower than then passenger side? Could I get the set and grind (carefully and accurately) down one for the pass side so the rear sits level side to side?

or just get a set of airlift 1000's, just another idea'r

 

[HLram]

yeah I'm definitely going to do that soon also because my truck hates my camper, even with the load leveling hitch. I wanted to set the Bilsteins at
2.8" one day and I don't think the airlifts will raise it enough to level it right, not without running alot of air pressure in them which would roughen up the ride too much. Thats why I was wanting rear spacers.

 

[gibby252006]

I did a 1 in. in rear and billstein at 2.8 . My truck sits at 40.5 in rear 40 in front.

 

[bendirkss]

I put a 2" level on my front end but wouldn't mind my rear being a half inch, maybe ¾ higher than it is, can I just put billsteins in the rear ?
