No problem, I would say that their is a very slight rake so I have been debating the 1" rear lift myself but not sure if that requires the longer rear shock. My tires are being installed as we speak so I will have a few pics coming soon with those now on. I chose the #6 position due to not changing the UCAs or else I would have set them to #7 and did the rear spacer for sure. I dont think the #6 position will be to bad on the UCA joint with how little I actually offroad. Time will tell and if they do eventually fail I will replace them then with new UCAs to correct the angles.
From talking to a Bilstein rep/tech, you’ll be fine. They were designed to work with everything else being left stock. My ‘19 has 60k on it already. I have no way to compress the coils, so I figure adding $120 to the total expense (including shop) is worth the insurance, since I’ll likely own this truck at 180k.
How's the ride/noise with the tires? I am having 5100's w/ the Readylift 3.5" kit installed soon, and i'm still unsure of tires. Gonna get 275/65's and was looking at the Geo MT, Milestar Patagonia MT, orif I don't get E-rated tires then the Nitto Terra Grappler SL's.....the only non E i have found in that size.
The ride is not bad in my opinion. The tires do have some road noise. I am not used to running MTs and have always run ATs so its hard for me to compare the Geo to any other MT in terms of road noise but I will say you can still hear them in the cab. I have not had a chance to take them on the highway yet to see if they tone down a bit at higher speeds but Yokohama claims they produce less road noise then the competition. I got these from a member for such a great price that I could not pass them up but to be honest if I had to pay full price I think I would have went AT for better ride and less road noise considering im on pavement 95% of the time. But man do they look good..hahahaha
Looks awesome! I have the North in white as well, and you have really helped me with my future level decisions!!
Looks great, we pretty much have the same truck. I think I gonna give the Geo's a try, if I don't like them, they have a 30 day return on them....then I'd go with the Terra Grapplers. I do want to give MT's a try, never ran them before either.
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.

I highly doubt there would be much of a ride quality difference considering the ride height is only changed about .5" between those two settings. Mine set at #6 is perfect in terms of level/slight rake and rides great. Position #7 would probably put you nose high for sure.
