Default Bilstien Shock question

I'm looking at getting a new set of shocks for my 06 ram 2500. It currently has the revtek ones on that came with the 4.5 inch lift I put on. I was looking at getting a set of bilstiens, but I cant find anywhere if the 5100 series will be long enough for travel in articulation. Does anyone run 5100s or the 5125?

There are websites that will list them by part number and application. IE mine are 0-2.5 inches of lift. Try suspension connection. Or SD Springs

I run 8 bilstein 5100s on my 1500, all designed for a 2500 with 0-3" of lift, I matched them all by extended and collapsed lengths. They are listed for inches of lift as well.

also, for the rears. Since the lift came with 4.5 up front and a 2 inch block in the back, id assume id only need shock for a max of 2" lift correct? Or would I have to make up for the factory rake it used to have on top of the 2 inch

Shocks will not lift the truck. You can run the same length all around.
