Bilstein 5100

Have a rattle when going over small quick bumps in the road. Passenger side. Sounds like an old truck that needs suspension work. Anyone have any insight?

Just got mine off the lift, it's possible the factory front sway bar end links are the problem. Might try deleting the whole sway bar and end links or installing aftermarket end links. I'll keep you updated. Mine has a really bad clunking sound over certain types of bumps. I have the off-road package with Bilstein 5100s set at the fifth setting.

Great Thank you. Keep me posted!

Does changing out the UCA’s make the ride better at all? Or is it just to save the ball joints?

Picture request...I'm not sure if anyone is running this setup. Non-ORP Bilsteins at setting #6 with 1" rear spacer?
 
Does anyone know the correct headlight measurement from the ground? I need to adjust. Thank you!

Does anybody know if there are any aftermarket options for strut mounts? I have searched for Moogs and KYBs but no luck for the 5th gens it seems. Local dealers do not have the parts.

I am replacing my ORP setup with Bilstein 6112s and 5160s.
I would like to keep everything intact rather than remove the stock strut mounts for the bilsteins.

Thanks I'm advance.

Ok, so interested if anyone has gone this route. I currently have 5100 on front at #4 and OE rear without ORP. I'm running 34" tires, no issue with rubbing and UCA angle looks real good but with 275 wide tires I didn't expect any clearance issue there. The level of the truck is great; very slight rake.

I'm thinking of putting 5100s on the rear at the .5" or 1" ring and raising the front to #5 (maybe 6?) and putting on 35" x 12.5" tires. Should the UCA's be changed? Any one have this setup with reviews on the ride related to shocks? Basically, it's creating a little lift in back with a front level so it's likely going to draw comparison to the Rebel or ORP in rear with a front level right? Lots of routes that could be used, so curious if anyone has gone here. Thanks.
 
5100 bilstein’s or N3 rough country on 275/65/20s. Thoughts or recommendations? Are UCAs necessary?

The rear shocks will not give you any lift. You will have to install a spacer under the coil spring,

Interesting. The Bilstein site shows they give 0-1" lift. I just assumed....

The shock by itself cannot provide lift. You would have to match it with a spacer or spring to provide 1" of lift. The shock can accommodate that extra travel is all it can do.

I have RC N3’s on mine with no UCA change... My truck sets level and rides little stiffer than stock but I also went to 285 65 20 Nitto’s that caused some of that.
 
Hi folks!! First time poster. I have a 2020 Laramie. I have ordered Bilstein 5100's front and back. I plan to install the front on the highest lift position and add a 1" spacer on the rear. I also ordered the Rough Country UCA's, but on second look, they say they will only work if I have at least 3" of lift. Anyone have the RC UCA's with only 2.7" of lift? If they won't work, I guess I'll send them back and order a different set. Thanks in advance!! BTW, I previously had a 2015 with Bils but didn't go as high. Also having Toyo Open Country A/T III in 295/60r20 put on immediately after the Bilstein install.
 
Morning all!.. Where is everyone buying their Mopar UCA’s from?.. Looking for reliable website pref with free shipping.

Some sites don’t list the Ecodiesel engine for fitment. Would t be a issue correct?
