Bilstein 5100 Leveling Questions

[BB5G]

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.

Im wodering if they did the 7th cause you dont have the ORP springs which from what i understand are 1" taller..... Im going to buy the ORP springs for it before i put mine on i think. can you post a picture before and after?

I called dealer and they say I have the stock oem on org springs. Idk, It's stuck at dealer getting a 3 weeks wind noise out, I think atleast. The pic is with bilstein and nothing in rear, I'll post one with the rear done too.

Ryncody - Just to confirm, that is a non-ORP with 5100s all around, front set at #7, rear with ORP springs? If so been looking for an example of this setup for a while. How's the ride?

What size tires?

Stock rear springs. Non org, I have a coil spacer in rear. Either I need ucas or I'm gonna dropped down a line to 6 and take rear out and install 1" springs.

Okay, sounds like us ORG guys are going with the spring seat aligned with ring #5 and should expect a pretty level rake when the install is complete. Wonder what the distance between the shock rings are and how that dimensions affects the lift height? Great thread, I really like super smooth.

Each clip is at half inch increments. ORG trucks are not to go beyond clip 5. I left mines at 4 which left about a half inch of rake. For some reason, crew cabs with 6.4 beds and the ORP seem to have more rake than everyone else. But, I wanted just a bit of rake left, and have heard some with ride issues going to clip 5 with the ORP.
Below is the install manual page that shows the ring position and height differences.
Love the ride, pretty stock feel. But if I had to do it all again, I prolly go full kit. Good luck

I think I went with setting 2 or 3.. it's been awhile, and have the longbed.

I was investigating the part numbers for the ORG Upper Control Arms and it does appear that my 2019 DT Laramie ORG has a different upper control arm than the 2020+. It also appears the UCA's on the 2020+ are the same control arms used with the Mopar 2" Lift. I will be ordering the new UCA's to pair with the Bilsteins to level out the truck. So the plan is to upgrade UCA's to Mopar. Manufacturer Part Number: 68323530AA 68323531AA and go with the Bilsteins 5100 adjustable front shocks. Will post back when complete. Need a Black Friday deal on those shocks, wow.
