Bilstein B8 5100

So, I think I found them?

BILSTEIN B8 5100 (Ride Height Adjustable) - BILSTEIN Off-Road

Designed to level the front of mid-size to half-ton trucks and SUVs, BILSTEIN B8 5100 (Ride Height Adjustable) shock absorbers are the perfect alternative to coil spring spacers.

I'm looking to level my truck. I dont want to use pucks, and am very unsure of the ready lift leveling kit. The mopar / Fox lift kit is also out of the question, as it lifts the back.

Would this work?

Can anyone point me in a good direction?

Yes. Those work. Check the threads in this section as there's ton's of info about those in here.

I'm running them on my truck now, great upgrade to the stock shocks. Waiting for the rears to come out next to complete the package. I am running them at the 5th notch, 1.7" of lift with my top hat spacer on it as I needed 3" of lift for the front of mine and my rear air bags leveled it out for me (even at only 25psi).

Hows the geometry looking?

At 25 lbs in the bags that sucker has the a bouncy/rough ride when empty.

Not at all, was running 10lbs in them with just the 2" spacer and 25-30 is not even half way aired up (they max at 110 lbs psi) so its actually helped with bumps to absorb the upward travel (as they were hitting the internal bumpstop) since the original bumpstops are removed to install. Now they are just right.

Its in need of new UCA's as expected with that much lift over the stock setup, but the lowers and shaft are well in spec.

Anyone have pics of their ride with these installed? Comments on the ride compared to stock? My 19 Laramie doesn't have the ORP or Air suspension also so if you fit that category your input would be greatly appreciated.
