I have read a ton of posts on here and another forum about different things for leveling out these trucks, but I have not been able to find anything on leveling a TRX4. From what I have been reading it seems like the bilstein 5100 is the preferred option for the 1500's. Has anyone done this with my somewhat unique niche truck of the Ram family? Does anyone know if the vibration that some are feeling with the 5100's at 2.8 have been noticed in the TRX as well? I appreciate any help that I can get

Once you replace the stock TRX struts, it's no different than any other model. Having said that, I do get a little 4wd shudder with mine at 2.1...

ok, from all that I have been reading it seems the 4wd shudder is more common at 2.8 than at 2.1 but does seem hit or miss for both. Are you completely level at 2.1 or still have a little rake? I do a fair amount of fairly heavy towing (7500 lb roughly) I have noticed the truck squat a little even with the airlift bags in the rear and dont want to go nose up with this thing either.

My outdoorsman ( trx really) has 2" leveling kit with factory struts up front. I get some shudder in 4wd under heavy acceleration up to about 35 mph. Nothing too bad. I wouldn't lose any sleep if you go all the way to 2.8 on the 5100's
