Good Day Folks.
I'm looking for a bit of a favor.
I'm looking for the stock ride height of a 5th gen 1500. Mines a Laramie, but not sure that matters much.
I lost my pics of the before and after when I atempted my level.
My Eibachs have taken a dump and I am going to replace them with a set of Bilstein's, but I need to lower the front a bit for towing.
I may be able to go with the stock size replacement or maybe the 5100, but I'm not sure what the original height was.

If anyone can help me out with the heights, it's greatly appreciated.
Have a great day.

Attach are pics showing my current heights.
Tires are 265/60R20 Michelin's
Measurements are from center of wheel to fender, and ground to fender.PXL_20250713_130947682 (1).jpgPXL_20250713_130938939.jpgPXL_20250713_131026368.jpgPXL_20250713_131011331.jpg
 
Here are pics of my 2022 limited with stock wheels and tire size.

@RichardThanks much!
 
A little off topic, but do you have Etorque? If so, the listed lift that Bilstein provides is incorrect. I think you are going for stock height per your post, so that may not apply. Just FYI
 
@nrpate05 ...I'm not sure if i want to go stock height.
I've got heavy duty springs in the rear end,which raised it some.
I basically got almost a 3" lift all around with mix and match parts.
When I have our 6000lb travel trailer hooked up and weight distribution on, the rear of the truck is just a bit lower than I like in compared to the front.
I don't recall which notch we used on the Eibachs, may e the middle, but judging by the measurements shared here by the other members, I'm just a bit over 2" taller than stock.
I could prolly go with the 4600 for stock height, but like it more leveled when empty...function. matters more than looks at this point.

Do you know what the correct lift number
Ers are for the Etourque is? That's what I have.
Thanks for theheads up.

I went with the tallest clip on the 6112s which is supposed to get 2" of height and I got may 3/4" by my calculations. I spoke with the retailer who spoke with Bilstein and they said they never tested it on the Etorque trucks and they assumed the extra weight is to blame for the lack of lift. Pretty annoying, now I'm trying to see if I want to spend the money on a different setup. Wish I had gone with a more premium option to begin with.
