Wondering the same thing for the 2500....Blistens seem to be a popular choice.

Just ordered Bilsteins, OE ones were leaking and riding like crap, too loose. Anyway glad to hear everyone loves them, ordered from shock warehouse "in stock" for the 06-08. Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Just installed Rancho RS5000's seem to make the truck a lot more predictable and no more squashy feeling just have to see if they are better for towing!

Just installed bielsteins, all I can say is WOW! huge difference, truck drives like new. I guess I had no idea how many issues were related to those crappy leaking OEM shocks! Definitly worth the $$

I'm looking at the Bilstein 5100 for my 07 Ram 1500. I'm starting to hear my front left shock make a rattle noise making me think it's shot. (plus i hear it's common around 50,000 miles.

A side question though - if I got the leveling struts from Bilstein, can I do a body lift as well?

Anyone have an actual ride comparison on the Rancho RS5000 vs Bilsteins? Set of 4 Bilstein only about $40 more for the set. But, dam they are ugly lol
