For starters, I recently bought an '05 Ram 2500 4x4. The truck I wanted for hauling my slide in camper, among other things. Two weeks ago, I loaded up the camper for the inaugural trip into the mtns. of Va. Truck did great, as well as I'd hoped for, although a little bouncy. My first thought was new shocks, at 68k miles, probably originals. No problem. A little poking around on this forum, I'm seeing good things about the bilstein 5100s. Great, I'll buy them. Got them today and they're a smaller bore than the ones I'm replacing, about 1/2", thoughts? In looking at the truck to see what I'm about to get into, I see the mounts on the front are like nothing I've ever seen. The shocks don't have the clevis ends I was expecting.
Also, as the truck has spent some time at/near the coast, I don't expect the bolts to come off willingly. I'd like to replace all of the mounting hardware. Is that a Napa thing? I'm trying to post pics, not sure if I'm doing it right. If they don't make it, I'll try again
Thanks in advance for ANY advice, you guys are great!

 

I see one pic made it, I'll try another

 

Dammit! Wrong pic. I'll figure this out eventually
