    California squat lol SoCal native. I thought they did that in Texas. I just installed the Bilstein extended shocks yesterday also on a 2x4 Ram 1500. Its a 2016 with 60k miles the driver's side was leaking. Its had mostly freeway deriving. I had problems with the boots also they don't leave much room.

    Great Video bro! Thank you for taking the time to make a quality video, i actually LOL'd for real! Seriously i hate the how to videos where they talk about all the safety crap before they start doing anything. When I change tires I use a home depot "Homer" bucket to sit on and then I can use my feet to keep the tire elevated a bit while I snuggy up the Luggies...

    Hey bud, since you’re a highly trained amateur and I’m just an amateur, do you know if the 2012 ram 1500 4.7 2wd ,all stock, uses the same configuration? I sure as hell hope so. BTW, great video and commentary, I was informed and amused. Lol just as entertaining as them DD’s on a treadmill 😂

    Hey great video 👌👨‍🔧 quick question I’m running stock suspension and stock wheels, would you recommend the 5100 over the stocks 4600? Do you think there will be a big improvement if I run the 5100? 4600? Or what’s your opinion 🤔…

    I have a 1” level spacer on the coil springs. These shocks are 1.5” longer than stock so you dont have to run the shock extenders. Still running stock upper control arms. Think that issue is when you go to a 1.5” - 2” spacer.

    I’m sending it with a 2.5 spacer, stock shocks (no extender), and stock upper control arms. 15k+ miles with no problems yet, but I’m planning on installing 5100 bilsteins to eliminate some noise from the stock shocks.

    Id make sure the 5100 series is rated for that much lift. IIRC they are only rated to 1.5”. Otherwise find a shock that is long enough to have the correct amount of travel so you dont “top out” the shocks.

    Hey buddy do you need the spacer to put this shock on? Bilstein website doesn’t give any references for 2wd except that yellow crap.

    No the 5100 series is longer than stock so you don’t need to run the shock extenders if you have a coil spacer

    I added a 2" leveling spacer on my 2014 2WD Ram 1500 and have had a terrible ride ever since. The shocks just don't seem to have enough travel on them when going over speed bumps or larger holes. Did you have the same problem before, and did these 5100s seem to fix that issue?

    Yes i should have put 5100s on when i leveled the truck in the beginning. They fixed all the problems i was having.
