Bilstein Availability

[Thekidcasual]

Same size I’m wanting.

not sure if you’re aware, the 35x11.5 has 2mm deeper treads and weigh about 7 more pounds than the 295/65/20

No I wasn’t aware I know 35x11.5 is a 34.5in and a 295/65 is a actually 35in..
But I just got my truck leveled I’m going with th 285/65 wildpeaks I just can’t wait any longer

Just picked up my RAM this evening after getting the Bilsteins installed by a local shop. 4 hours labor plus putting on the new wheels and alignment...$373. After reading this, that’s not too bad

That looks fantastic! Nice job!!! I am so loving the leveled look, definitely completes the truck. Did the #6 setting work out for you as you would have hoped on your truck?

 

[Morenar]

Shop here quoted me $750 with Alignment. Just waiting to order my tires.

Should have stated this is along with the Readylift 3.5 lift installed as well.

Thank you! I agree big time. Yup, setting #6 was everything I hoped for. I wanted level with no rake. Was going 5 until your post! And I actually think it rides better now.

Just a quick update. All of my bilstein parts are here. I still haven’t been able to get my tires. However today I ordered the icon rear springs. If they come in before the weekend I may try to install everything Sunday. And just ride around with small tire until I can get them.
I am going to start a new thread with before and after pics on the install.

I’m riding on small tires right now too

Got my Bilstein put on today. I have a 21 1500 Big Horn. No ORG or air. I went with the 1.7 #5 setting and it is perfect. I did not want to seem nose high even though the number worked out. I was at 21.5" middle hub to bottom of the fender in front and 24" middle hub to bottom of the fender in back and I'm now withing 3/4" from being level. Turned out great and couldn't be happier. I have the billet silver night edition and pretty torn on the 285 60 20 or the 275 65 20 Toyo Open Country AT3.

Pictures? Sounds like a nice setup!

I will tomorrow. It has been raining today like crazy (but need the moisture.) I will be getting the tires next month.

Same here but I’m on setting 5 with the ORP . I’m looking at 285/65/20 or 295/60/20 Nitto Ridge grapplers but I got 2” Bora wheel spacers so I will probably rub either way . Wheels look small right now but the spacers help a bit

Do you happen to know how much rake you retained front to back??

I’m even

I’m even

Also to let you know I stayed stock in the back and did 5100’s only on front for now

I don’t think you will rub. Discount tire direct has the ridge grapplers in our size. 370 a piece.

I just dropped my truck off at my dealership for maintenance and spoke to the manager in service and all dodge dealerships are running a promotion right now buy 3 tires get 4th for a dollar . I asked him what the price was per tire thinking it would be high and it was the same price I’m seeing everywhere per tire . He himself ordered a set of 35” Nitto ridge grapplers but they are on back order everywhere. He said he had the Nitto rep in yesterday and the earliest is August that they can fulfill the orders . I’m not sure I can wait that long

My tire supplier said the same thing. However discount tire shows them in stock and ready to ship. I’m assuming they had a stock pile

I installed the Billstein 5100's on setting 6 last night after work and took it in today to get the tires (Toyo Open Country AT3 285/55/22) mounted and the truck aligned. I love how it looks. Tires and shocks firmed up the ride a bit and it feels, "heavier" or "more substantial" I guess. I noticed that the passenger side is 1/2 inch higher on the front than the driver's side, not sure why though. I checked the groove on the shocks and both are at the number 6 spot. There is a slight amount of rubbing on plastic on the passenger side but it's just on plastic so Ill "fix" it. A week ago I used a DB meter to check cab dB on a few diff roads. I only got to 1 of those roads with the new tires so far. My decibel reading before at 50 MPH was 78 to 81 dB, now the same stretch at 50 MPH is 83 to 85 dB. I'll check the freeway at 80 tomorrow or Friday.

It’s common issue that the drivers side sits a bit lower cause of the gas tank and the driver . Mine does it as well and I looked into it and read one guy had a brand new truck with no lift and his sat about 3/4 lower on the drivers side and the dealership put a shim in but he was still low by 1/4

How are the transmission shift points now with the 285/55/22's? That is my biggest worry with going to the same size tire on mine when I get my lift. I have basically the same truck as you with the 3.92, non-etorque.
