Bullram,
As for the 2WD, the Bilstein setup is for trucks with coilover setup's, the 2WD drive is a similar setup as it is a coilover but it is a different system. in our 2WD trucks the setup consists of a shock or strut whtever you want to call it, inside of a coil but they are not joined and can be installed independently, Where the 4WD version has to be done by a professional since the strut and coil are joined and have to be pressed to get apart. Look at this thread and there a great pictures of the 4WD Ram's suspension and then look at your suspension and you will see the difference.https://dodgeforum.com/forum/4th-gen...onversion.html If I get time I will try to take a picture of mine and post it so you can see.

Please do, this is what I'm looking at, also if you don't mind give the cost you paid.

I bought the shocks and spacers from Top Gun Customz. I googled around and found the shocks cheaper elsewhere online. But, I was already dealing with TGC, they give a discount for members of the Dodge (no space) Talk forums and provide support there, so I paid more but got the shocks from them. You can go to http://www.topguncustomz.com to see the parts and prices.
I don't know yet what the exact cost is going to be for the install and alignment, if that's what you're asking.

Stu, can't wait to see the pics. Did you take any measurements before the install so you know how much lift you're actually getting?

Yes, I took measurements.
I thought my truck would be done by lunch, but it wasn't. The idiots at the alignment shop found the sealed up box on the floorboard in the back seat that contained front spacers - which I was planning to return to Top Gun Customz - and installed them. Then they were having trouble getting the front height right because once they put the shocks in, the front was too high. No duh!!
Arghhh!
