Just bought an 07 1500 with a 5.7. Front struts were shot and it sat to low so thought I would get the Bilsteins 5100. Went to 4 wheel parts and they said they were on back order but had the pro comps pro runner ss ride hight adjustable shocks and they would lift my truck 2" so I bought them(same thing right) Installed them and only got 1 1/4" lift. Yes I put them on the lift setting. I went back and told them about it and they say its because I have the hemi and I wont get any more left from the bilsteins. I call B.S.
So I was wondering if anyone els has/is using the procomps and how much lift you got?
Also for those of you running the bilsteins did they level your truck or did you only get 1" or so?
I really would like to level out this truck but don't wanna use spacers. Thanks!

I have these ones. Google around, I found them cheaper than here, this is just the first one that popped up. I LOVE them. A little stiffer ride, but not much, than stock. And they made my truck look A lot meaner and tougher and most of my buddies are 5'7" or less and **** and moan when they have to climb up into my truck.

I guess I should have read your post more thoroughly...anyway, I have the Hemi and I got a full level out of them. I don't have any pics to show you, and right now it is sitting on Jack stands cuz I have a bad CV axle, otherwise I'd go snap a pic for you. If you aren't satisfied with the amount of lift, consider replacing the coil springs, as they wear they aren't pushing up on your truck as much. But I love the Bilsteins, I think I bought them off eBay or Shock Warehouse now that I think about it
