Default bilstein 5100s

Anybody know if an adjustable bilstein 5100 will fit a 2007 1500 Sport 4x4. Been looking online and it says it fits the laramie, but shouldn't my suspension set up be the same. And has anyone tried the adjustable bilsteins to level truck? Is ride quality better than the strut spacer?

I have them on my 2008 1500 SLT 4x4 in the front only. Bought them because of feedback on here. Ride is great nice and tight and handles much better. The install wasn't fun bolts where very hard to remove and was done on a lift. Very happy overall with looks and ride. I will do the rears next.

Do they make Bilstein 5100's for an 04 1500 4x4 with a 6" lift for front and rear?

I'm not sure if/how the Bilsteins are different for one make or model to another. I used them to level my Toyota 4Runner and I love them. Mine is a 2011 and it had a well known bad nose dive problem when braking. The billies got rid of the nose dive and the overall ride is much improved - nowhere near as squishy as it was with stock shocks. On mine, the fronts are adustable up to 2.5 inches and the rears aren't adjustable but are compatible with up to 2 or 3 inches of lift.

I've got them on our Jeep and love them. I have Rancho RS5000 shocks on my truck, but have been toying with the idea of getting Bilsteins and cranking the torsion bars to level it out (it has a 3" body lift). I just haven't had the motivation to get around to it. The Ranchos have only been on there about a year. I'm not sure what the part numbers are for an '05, but I know people have done it with the level.
