What year is your truck? I ordered Bilstein's part number for 5100 for a 2006 1500 4x4 front shocks. When they came in they were not right. I called and was told that the part number for the front shock was not correct. It will be about a month until the coil over shock for an 06 is out on the market.

Does anyone know if 2002-2005 use the same shocks as 2006-2008?
And does 4x2 or 4x4 make a difference?
20-05 does not use the same shock as 06-08, mega cab is different also.

I just got an email from a guy at eshocks.com Heavy Duty, he didnt give a model # 5100 4600 or anything else. He just said they were heavy duty.
Any of these numbers same as what you ordered?
