Always a fan of Bilstein
Figured I'd give it a shot on a stock ride height truck. So far with only the fronts the difference over OEM is amazing. My community has a lot of pavers so it is very uneven and jumpy when entering and leaving, and let me tell you how much better the front end rides. Little difficult getting the boot into the smaller opening on the 2WD but just take your time and it will pop in. Install was a breeze

Review shared from Bilstein B8 5100 Series Front Shock for 0 to 2.80-Inch Lift (09-18 4WD RAM 1500 w/o Air Ride)
2018 Lone Star -
Installation Time: Weekend
Just finished putting these on my wifes truck!
After years of buying another brand of shocks decided to go with these this time. I did the 2.1 lift on these shocks but wish I would have went just one notch lower.n I did a full set all around with the 5100's. Definitely a upgrade over factory. The Factory shocks were beating me to death. These seem to have smoothed out the road. I also noticed that when she applies her brakes now I don't feel like I am about to go through the windshield.

Better than factory!
I got the shocks pretty darn quick. Installation was pretty straightforward. Nothing trivial except fit the one bolt at the top to remove. After that it went quickly!

Back shocked
These shocks are great! Installed in my driveway. Super easy once you cut a wrench to make it stubby for top bolt. Took about 10 minutes per shock. Rides better than new!

great strut
This is a great strut comes great ride quality. for RAMS with some mileage on them be ready to replace the lower strut bolt, and bushing, I did not have access to a press so I ended up replacing the entire lower control arm, as all the bushings were shot (112K miles) I had to order the lower strut bolt from mopar online as well. Keep this in mind for the higher mileage RAMS

Easy fix
I replaced my old worn out factory shocks with B8 5100’s on my Ram Big Horn. And man can I tell the difference. Even though the top bolt is in a difficult spot. It still only took maybe a hour and a half for both sides. I even did my front shocks with B8’s as well. Improved handling and the ride height is about the same.
