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.
I came for the shock, I stayed for the personality 🤣
Snuggy loose!! I love it! Definitely gonna start using it!
Enjoyed this man. Kept it interesting and funny. Appreciate all the info and nice stable tripod video.
U had the best video that helped sm compared to everyone else
Save me a bunch of money. Going to pick up the shocks today. Thank you
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...
Thaaannnnnkkkkk you for real.
Great video.. wow looks so easy for you to do it. Only remove the shock. . I would give myself a try. I have 2019 1500 2wd . Wondering if is the same work. Please help me thanks dear
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 😂
Great video only 20 seconds in lol
I am a silverado guy, not a Ram owner, but damn it if I didn't feel and relate to the same frustrations.

I wish I would have seen this video before I bought blue tooth shocks on my 02 dodge ram . Dang it
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 🤔…
Bluetooth Bilstein. Killed me bro. Lol.
Great video, would you happen to remember the model number of the 5100's? Thanks!
Where do i get my wireless shocks at?
Hi, I have a question. So, I have the 2016 Ram 1500 sport. I believe everything is stocked nothing added. Can I use these struts without any issues?
You funy bro good vid 👌 so how do you like thr shocks would you recomend ? Did this level your truck out ? And did you have to upgrade your upper control arms?

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.
Thank you. Lol double Ds on a treadmill. That actually describes it to a T
Do you remember what size your leds are? Been wanting to add some similar to that on my ram

STS Performance theyre the 8” roadshocks from harbor freight. Im happy with them. Youll have to make your own brackets though to get them inside the bumper how i have them.
Was about to purchase all 4 of the Bluetooth shocks for my 16 Ram 2wd lol but saw this video. Would you recommend the Bilstein 5100 over the 4600?

Absolutely. I have zero complaints with the 5100s. Ive got probably 40-50k miles on this set without issue.
We’re did you find the 1 coil spacer i can’t seem to find one all I find is 2inch spacers I had a 2 inch on my 17 ram and I had to take it off because it rode like crap I bought new fox shocks for “leveled rams but I can’t find a 1-1.5 spacer we’re did you find yours?

Theyre ready lift spacers
Bro I got a question. I just installed a 2.5 level spacer kit on my 2015 ram 1500 2wd and my factory shocks are already leaking which shocks do you recommend for the new height of the truck

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
shocker!! lol
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.

Brother can you reshoot this without shaking the camera? And remove the Porno music??? What kind of idiot likes that music?? Have a cocktail and calm the shaky hands.
