Bilstein 5100

Did it give you a full 2”? What are the measurements before and after install?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Gave me just over 2" of lift. Measurements before were 40 7/8 rear and 38 1/2 front. After is 40 7/8 rear and 40 5/8 front. measurements are from ground to bottom of fender flare.

To confirm, you DO NOT need to change out UCA’s when installing these shocks?

I didn't. The angles look fine and the shop that installed the 5100s said everything looked fine and the alignment was easy.
 
Question for anyone that has tried the 5100's on setting #4 and #5. I am currently running #4 but after 1500 miles, they have broken in and are nowhere near as firm as just after install which I liked alot. Does #5 feel firmer in the sense of less side to side bounce through compressions? I still have 1" of rake with my RL 3.5" lift so I still have room to go up to Setting #5. Or should I swap to ORP springs
 
What do the front and rears measure out to be?

They're a little off right to left.

FR - 38 3/4
FL - 39
RR - 40 1/4
RL - 40 3/8

Here's left and right shock. Both appear to be on setting 5. Those measurements were taken with the truck parked in my garage. Left to right is pretty level but the garage slopes a tad to the door, so that might effect things a little. I still think it should be more level than it is though.

This is a Rebel?.. UCA angle looks to be fine

Yes it is. The angle is part of why something seems off. I replaced UCAs and it looks like it was a waste. I'm not unhappy with the look. I do think that when I go bigger with the tires, I may want it a little more level than it is.

With those measurements you’re very close to level. Try measuring from center cap. Gets the tires out of the equation

Those are MOPAR UCA’s?

Looking at my angles, don't bother. I did it just to be safe and I don't think I needed to.

Wondering what a New Ball Joint Job would cost in the future on these trucks?..

Quick question. What size tires would fit well on stock 20’s- 2019 big horn 1500 with the 5100s installed? All stock minus the leveling kit. Is it 295/60/20?

Looks great! No ORP? That looks level to me, I've heard 5 on the orp sits nose high.
 
Looking for pics of a truck with front set to #3 on a standard suspension (no ORG)
 
Has anyone with V6 installed these at setting #5? What did you get for the lift? Can’t be 1.7” with 200-300 pounds less of weight vs Hemi. I just wanted to know before I set the level which I will go with. Thanks guys.
 
Anyone heard when the Bilstein 5100s are supposed to be back in stock?
