Bilstein 5100

[Mainah]

I have the North Edition so it has the ORP, I went with setting 5 which was 2" (and the highest Bilstein recommended with the ORP). They definitely ride better than the stock shocks and I am glad I waited for these over the other options available.

Does installing any of these void any warranty? If so does it get protected based on if the dealer installs compared to sell installed?

Did you change the UCAs out?

I did not, my dealer said the angles looked okay. They were surprised, I guess they are starting to see ball joint issues with the 2" ReadyLift they normally install.

I have the north edition which has the 1 inch factory lift. I did the bills set at the 5th setting which is max on my set up along with the mopar lift uppers. I still have about half inch of rake. Still on stock tire but going to 275 65r 20 next week. First pic is stock 2nd with bills

@Rocko thanks for positing this, truck looks great! I have the North as well. Could you by chance take a picture of the UCA's? I would like to see the angle and compare to some of the photos of those that did not replace the UCA's. Thanks

I'll get one soon as I can. Won't be tonight though. Heading to bed shortly but I will.

Had mine installed on Friday and drove it all weekend. Ecstatic to report that it rides wonderful. Much better dampening, steering and responsiveness on these western PA roads. Even though I thought my leveling kit rode ok over stock, now it makes it seem that it rode awfully with the kit on. So happy that I had these installed. Ordering Bilsteins for the rear now.

I used setting #5 (1.7") also and it seem like it netted more than my 2" leveling kit. Front fender sits at 38 1/2" and rear at 39 1/4" with 295/60/20s on it. 3/4" of rake which i'm happy with.

Your truck looks great, thanks for posting the pics

Now! But I’ll admit I want to get those same tires and the bilsteins so I want to know what you think of the setup and how it looks

Less chance of possibly salt and sand chipping them. Also gives him time to ceramic coat them if their not already to protect them for next winter.

This is a pic of the mopar 2 inch lift upper control arm using the bills on setting 5 with the off road package. Don't know that you'll notice much of any difference from stock until full droop. That I wasn't able to get today.

They must be very fragile.

Do you have a Black Diamond Crystal Pearl truck? I am looking at the same rims, fuel blitz in ddt, 20x10-18 offsets. Slap those bad boys on and take some pics!!!!! Loved the rims when I saw them in person and I am dying to see them on a truck.
