Hi, I had a 2017 1500 Laramie Longhorn Ltd, with a level and loved it...unfortunately it burnt. :-(

I'll be picking up my new 2021 Ram 1500 Classic tomorrow and I want to do the same.

Currently, I'm looking at Bilstein 5100 2.5 front, UCA's and 1.5 in block and Bilstein 5100's for the rear.

Here's my question...To order parts, i'm getting mixed info. I know its 2021, but it's still a 4th Gen...Yet, if I compare part numbers from 2021 classic, 2018 or 2014...everyt part number is different...How do I know what I order will be the correct part?

Thanks in advance

Why would you be ordering it anywhere else when we have preferred vendors on this forum that all offer forum discounts. I see that this is your first post so I'll give the the benefit of the doubt. You are in for a treat click on this @Nick@GotExhaust then select start a conversation and tell him what you are looking to get. He will send you a quote that you wont be able to touch anywhere else and it will be the right parts. Best price, guess work gone win-win

Hi and welcome to the forum. We can assist you with selecting the correct parts and offer you a quote. That is a pretty standard setup with the exception of the rear spacer. Have you considered a better rear coil that will also provide lift? Message me if you would like a quote on anything

Whether you use any particular vendor (no disrespect, just answering OP's question) your 2021 Classic should have all the same suspension parts as any '13+ 4th gen Ram so if you want to avoid the confusion just pick a year, like 2017 or 2014 and pretend that's your truck while shopping. That will help you avoid the ambiguity that comes with Ram building two generations of truck at the same time.

It is great that we have preferred vendors. I am sure most of them are really good.

Preferred vendors are not required vendors. Do not feel pressured by anybody, use whoever you want.

Good luck with your project.

If you can get something at a better price would that not be a favor to someone?

Also the preferred vendors pay to be here which pays for the servers this forum runs on. Support those who support this forum more than just financially. Some of us preferred vendors are also the ones here helping members get through issues or figuring out what they need to get the results they want WITHOUT selling them more than they need.

What part# are you looking at that seem to differ from 2014 or 2018? Should be the same parts when it comes to your suspension. Classic will use the same ones.

I live in Canada, so with the exchange, delivery costs and brokerage fee, the deals aren't so great. But I will get some quotes, as you never know. :)

As an example, Mevotech UCA has a different UCA part number for 2017 and 2014 and no part number for 2021 Classic...That's what confuses me

I feel your pain. I have asked about canadian based vendors twice with zero luck.

might be a business opportunity? To fill a void
