This is what I was told by a Bilstein rep.
“I would probably expect Septemberish on 4600 & 5100. And on 6112 & 5160 probably late October into November.”

Hi, everybody! I’m the kind of driver that only wants to get from point A to point B safely and comfortably. My truck is mostly street driven and has no mods to the suspension.
Rarely do I take a ride into the backcountry for fishing and it feels like I’m driving a tank (not that I ever drove a tank).
I’ve been thinking of replacing the stock shocks with Bilsteins: https://4wdlife.com/shocks-for-dodge-ram-1500
What do you guys think?

If your driving 2018 or older you can use those shocks. I’m waiting for bilsteins for my 2019 which they haven’t come out with yet. So if you have a new ram like myself you’ll have to wait with the rest of us.

Man I hope they really do get the 5100’s out by Sept., that’s what I’m waiting on, nothing but crappy options or really expensive options available right now.

I’m not aware of a 4” Bilstein 5100 shock for leveling of any kind, are you talking about 4” diameter shocks?

Someone on the RAM facebook page said something about RAM having the rights till the end of 2019 for something. Im kinda in the same boat as you, the way im looking at it is the struts are still new so i might just stick a 2.5 inch spacer lift on and maybe in a couple years switch to the bilsteins.
