Default Which Bilstein shocks?

I found out how LARGE a tax return im getting so needless to say my wishlist is gonna get partially fulfilled. I want new Bilstein shocks along with a helwig sway bar. Im not sure what shock model # will best suit me and was hoping to get some info from all you smart guys!
My truck is NOT lifted nor will ever be lifted. Any input is totally appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Bilstein is the way to go, you obviously know that. But I dont have experience with em. I just wanted to celebrate in your tax return victory dance! (I just did a little shake for you)

You know though, the guy with the reg. cab silver hemi, he just got shocks. I wish I could find that thread; i will do a search in a minute

I think Rams are limited to the 4600 and 5100 Series shocks. I wanted to go with 7100's with my lift but was told they wouldn't work. I'm still looking into the reason why.

Congrats. That's a big chunk of change. Remember there is a rebate on certain bilsteins this month- not that you need to save money now though.

Did you say you own a semi truck? I would like to see it.

I have the site you posted up in another window trying to shop prices but i need the proper model # for my truck and my purpose.
Here is my "second home". She now has 730,000 miles on it. Cummins N14 with an Auto Shift 10 speed. Time for a new 1!

Nice truck. The Cummins running good? I have trouble finding the part #'s too. I think the easiest way to find what you want is to call up or visit a shop to make sure you buy the right ones.

The truck is running good when it runs, shes been giving me ALOT of problems lately. Last week i got shut down due to repairs 2X in 1 week. Ill be slipping into something new im thinking next month. If i go used, ill stay Volvo but 780 this time, if new, Freightliner Cascadia with the new DD15 13 speed...time will tell.

I believe that was Truckin151.

Does anyone know if 2002-2005 use the same shocks as 2006-2008?
And does 4x2 or 4x4 make a difference?
