Bilstein 5100

[GraniteRam]

There is no poke. They sit in there just like the factory setup. Also no rubbing from what I can tell. I did a uturn no problem on the way home with them.

I'm assuming no issues with the wheel and wheel weights clearing the brake caliper with that offset? I know some 18's won't clear the brake caliper or will have issues with the wheel weights hitting the caliper with/close to the factory offset.

Am I the only one who thinks our leveled trucks look too nose high? I’m leveled and want to go to a smaller tire and then 5100 maybe 3 or 4 just keep it looking normal. Currently running 285/65/20 on stock wheels with ReadyLift 2” level.

For what it's worth, mine still has a good bit of rake to it after having the 5100's installed on setting #4. But, that's exactly what I was wanting. I didn't like how low the front end sat and wanted to raise it up just a little. I don't plan on changing from stock wheels and tire size. I'm happy with how it turned out. And the ride is even more improved from what was already a nice ride.

I'm very locked into your particular truck, which brings me to ask why do you foresee smaller tires and do u feel your front end is to high? Looks good to me that's y I ask

Thanks. It usually does look leveled but then sometimes I'll look at it wonder why the rear looks squatty. I don't know, it's all perception at the time I suppose, and how it's parked. I didn't really finish out my thought in that I think I would like the look more if I went with say a 305/55/20 with a custom rim and more of an offset with the front end a little lower, like going to a 5100 in a 3 or 4 setting. I don't think I could take the front end lower and even more go with a wider offset with the 285/65/20 tires I'm currently running. Or don't, and go max setting on the 5100 with a rear spacer. I'm a conflicted human

Mine was nose high for sure after the RC 2in struts. Thats why i did the rear spacers.

I do like the look of your truck

Thanks for the feedback! Glad it turned out how you wanted. Love your username, BTW

What part number for the 5100s? I haven’t been able to find any for the 2019 rams

Thanks man! I’ve been looking and the only thing that would show up is up to 2018 for some reason. Whether it would be the bilstein site, Amazon, eBay or anything, it would only show 2018s

No worries. I think the 2019 only showed up very recently.

Has anyone confirmed how accurate of a lift you get in the front with the Bilsteins chart with the notches? My front is currently sitting 2.25" lowers than the back. Don't want to Max the shocks out and put even more stress on the coils and UCAs.

Just got the tires installed. 275 65 20s off road package bills at 5 with mopar lift uppers. I like it

That’s awesome! Looks kind of like a 2500 from the rear

That looks really nice. How close to level does the truck sit now?

I plan on taking better pictures but have waited a long time to contribute to this thread.

Wheels = 18" Method NV 305 +18
Tires = Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/70/18

Maybe I missed it but what setting did you use on the Bilsteins?

I've got just under a half inch of rake.

I’d like to know the same thing. Mine measure out just like yours at 2.25. Need to decide as these are going on the truck Wednesday and the new tires and wheel on Thursday.

Well like I said before on setting 5 I got 2 full inches but that's on the off road package so I can only think that what the chart shows is accurate.

So the #6 at 2.2 inches would make it level I’d think.

On the off road package you're not to go above the 5th ring

No off-road package here.
