REAR BILSTEIN 5100'S - SPACER QUESTION

[Jeffro99]

18 RAM 4X4 CREW - Looking to install bilstein 5100's on the front set @ 2.8 , with new UCA's.
For the rear I want to do the 5100's and then add a spacer block

Does anyone know if the rear 5100's will work with a 1.5" spacer ?? I cant decide between a 1.00" or 1.500"

My truck now has about 2.375 inches of rake, I don't tow very often but don't want it to sag when a small boat or amount of weight is added

Yes you can use a spacer

Yes the stock 5100's will work with a 1.5" spacer. You can also use longer 5100's (I can dig up the part number if you want) but you will need to extend your bumpstops to prevent damage to the longer shocks. There is a spacer for Jeeps that bolts in pretty easily.

I was thinking going stock 5100's part # - 24-187374.
has anyone had experience with the ready lift 1.5 rear coil spacers? how are they? or can you recomoned one? trying to get my kit on order

I just installed these last week with my stock shocks. No issues so far but can’t comment on longevity.

They look exactly like the spacers I bought off ebay. In the q & a it says they are metal but they sure look like a poly or similar to me. For the brief time I had them in they were quiet & fine. I just decided in the end i wanted variable rate springs instead.

Stock springs don’t hold weight very well. Aftermarket coil springs are a better choice.
