Hi guys, I'm looking at upgrading my suspension since I have 110,000kms on my 2020 Ram Bighorn (non ORP). My truck feels like a boat and going over any bump feels like it going to fall apart. I was looking at getting this set but wanted to see if anyone has done this setup before? Also if I did purchase this set, would it be a good idea to get the Rebel upper control arms instead of the normal ones that are on my Bighorn? I was going to order the setup with the #6 clip, not sure if going to the #7 clip would be more ideal or not. thanks.

Bilstein 5100 coilover set with 5100 rear shocks/Bilstein B12 1" lift coils question
- Thread starter GoJetsGo
- Start date
Thats what I run 5100s all around with B12 springs in the rear. I also went with Readylift control arms up front because I wanted something beefier than the Mopar 2” offroad arms but didn’t need to go all out on some of the more expensive options available but those arms are fine. Yes at the very least go with the Mopar offroad CA.
I believe I got 1.25-5” lift in the rear unloaded with the B12 springs. (Rambox here) so more weight in the bed plus I carry around 400-500 in the rear between my Jobox, Cooler and tote so it settled down to around 1” when loaded. I would keep some rake in the rear just in case you do load the bed so it doesn’t look nose high plus with the sports hood on my leveled wouldn’t really looked leveled and the rake doesn’t look obvious once you get rid of those pitiful 32s in stock form and in my case went to 34s.

Awesome, thank you guys so much for the helpful info. You think I should upgrade the lower CA to those Mevotech ones just so I won't have to worry about the lower ball joints, since mine are still stock? I was told they are still good and have no play, but if I'm doing the upper CA's, should I just pull the trigger on those lowers? And last question, for sway bar links, for the front and back, what should I change those to? Not looking to get anything crazy like that one expensive brand, but would anything else be better than stock? And do I need any different lengths with that setup?

No need to change the LCA's.

These new Mevotech TTX Front (first link) & Rear (second link) endlinks are HD versions of the OEM models..and very reasonably priced. Order from Rock Auto for great prices.
Mevotech does make a TTX Upper CA (and Lower also) that is intriguing and worth looking into.
(they look kind of gold color in the pics, but they're more of a olive/army green color in person)
