Hey guys,
Im stuck between the HD's and the 5100's. Are the HD's for stock suspension heights only? For those of you that have leveling kits, did you use the shocks rated for up to 2" of lift?

Thanks,
Mark

on my 02 2500 my leveling kit is skyjacker D25 springs up front and the 5100 which have 2" more travel I also added 5100 to the rear and that adds 1" more travel

with a leveling kit you need the 5100's (silver), stock spring height take the HD's (blue/yellow)

I run the 5100's and like them a lot

You Can Run The 5100's On A Stock Truck, You Cannot Run The Yellow/blues On A Lifted Truck Just To Clarify

high bid

......and you may want to research the "not so favorable" return policy that some have posted on here. Some have stated that they're great at first then the shock fails.

I would be one of those individuals with unsatisfied results and "not so favorable" results with return and customer service. My dodge is a DD and is a road queen. I went through the entire front end of the truck this summer between tie rods, sway bar, intermediate shaft, wheel bearings, universal joints.. etc and had the Bilstein shocks on for about 40k miles (5100 series) the front shocks were shot and when I went to return them to the store in which I purchased them they could not get them because of being on national back order. I even spoke with regional rep and tried to come up with a fair resolution: he wanted me to send them in to be revalved (not an option due to DD, could not replace them, asked for credit- was denied and I informed him that Bilstein could not honor their warranty hence I wanted my money back. Needless to say, I delt with auto parts store, spent more money with them and went with KYB shocks. After having Bilstein on three vehicles and the way customer support was, I will never deal with them again...
