I installed mine this weekend at the 6th position and went with Nitto ridge grapplers 295/70 18's.

That's the look I'm looking for, nice! How much clearance do you have with the 295/70/18s? Would I be able to not run at setting 5? Thanks!

Please go easy on me, I’ve looked through the thread and searched it, and must have missed it - does anyone have the part numbers available for the Mopar UCAs? I’m thinking the Bilsteins, a 1-inch read, and new UCAs are going to be a much more cost effective option than the Mopar lift to get that slightly- more aggressive stance. Thanks!

Would the Bilstein 5100 front adjustable shock work on a 1500 4x4 #bighorn with a 6 inch lift? I'm trying to get the truck level after lifting??

Installed today. Went with the 5th position. Gained 2" but that's before an alignment so maybe that will change afterwards. Very pleased with the ride so far.

Anyone know if this would be an issue with this being cut around my shocks? Didn't even notice the guy did this and now some things look exposed. Could this be an issue with using pressure washer for washing truck now?

Why on earth would he cut that out? Really no reason to do that. Shouldn't really hurt anything but maybe let more first up in there. I'd just not power wash with a direct stream at full blast.

I have no idea. Maybe it was a pain for him to get to the too bolt and didn't want to deal with removing it. Might have to get bigger tires sooner to hide the open view now

He should replace them. The material is so flexible there you can bend or pull it out of the way while you remove the three nuts that are located there. You can even get a torque wrench in there rather easily.

Bigger tires are always good

Oh man.. Falcon released their shocks for the 5th gen Ram. I have the Bilsteins 5100's in the front and the Rebel shocks in the rear. I really do like the Falcon rear shocks and the adjustable features. I wonder how they compare. I wish you can buy just the rear shocks from Falcon instead of the set.

Just me , But I would be going back there and make them pay for some new plastic. That’s just laziness. I hate hackers

I'd blow a lazy installer up that pulled that. Get them to replace that plastic.

Hi all quick question, if swapping out factory shocks for the bilsteins, other than the spring and upper mount what other parts are needed for the swap, my plan is to order some new springs, top mount and all other parts so I can simply do a direct swap without having to disassemble the factory setup.

You're going to need the lower spring mount, spring isolator, spring seat isolator, jounce bumper and hex lock nut that attaches the shock to the upper mount and holds the whole assembly together.

The 5100s do come with their own new lock nut.

 

[lawlavigne]

They also come with the shock cap ends. Other than that everything that was listed above. Personally I'd save the money and go with the stock setup that the trucks been riding on. Only take a few extra minutes to disassemble and put on the new shocks.

Could anyone with the bilstein 5100's OFF their truck do me a huge favor and take a picture with a tape measure, meausuring two things...

Total shock length
and the total length of the lift settings from the bottom setting, to the top and the distance in between each setting? I am trying to figure out something with the mopar lift that may help some of us Fox guys out.
