Bilstein 5100 Leveling Questions

[busa2009]

2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn , no ORP/Air ride....
Front Bilstein Part Number: 24-232203
Rear Bilstein Part Number: 24-233354
When doing this leveling is it necessary to do the rear? If So why?

You don't have to do the rear. It may be beneficial as the front and rear valving are likely matched to provide a specific ride quality. But I do not know that for a fact, just purely an assumption. Hopefully someone chimes in that has installed the rears and can give their opinion.

Do the fronts and see what you think ride wise. If you're going to install them anyway, may as well give it a shot.

As far as I know, Bilstein still isn’t making 5100’s designed for the DT platform. Those part numbers are for the previous generation. Others claim they are okay, but I wouldn’t put them on my truck.

That’s incorrect they have been out and they are for “DT” platform.
I just installed them on my truck.

just the front. I did the 3.5” readylift kit but instead of using the pre load spacer I installed the bilstein shocks and it’s super smooth

I stand corrected.

Which setting did you set the shocks at with the 3.5 RL? Do you have the ORP? This seems like the ideal setup for ready lift.
Thanks

I’m curious too, what setting was it set to? Still good and level?

Just installed my 5100s on my 21 ram 1500 non air , non ofg, the installers put mine on same setting as another 21 ram and for some reason mine is almost an inch taller , and is taller than front, yet they Said they set them the same. , I need a 1" for the rear , and thoughts??

I ordered mine and they arrived in 3 days!!! once i get them installed ill post a picture!

 

[Kone]

Those that arent do-it-yourselfing what are y'all paying for labor to install the fronts?

 

[MikeyHo808]

Yup, watching this thread. Purchased the complete set of shocks through my local 4WP store.
Already have the fronts in, but rears are back ordered.

Well I asked to make it level, but they said 6, yet I see 6 lines under seat, so it's set on #7. Which after contacting bilstein, they said was fine to be at 7.
