Has anyone used these and had any problems with them? Fitment? Looking to get about 2" lift in the front of the truck to level her up a bit.

Bilstein 24-187367 - 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber 5100 Series, Ride Height Adjustable

Nothing? I understand that these are better to level the truck then the spacers for the top of the shock. Spacers with a 2.5" lift will allow the top ball joint to bind because the A arm can drop farther than intended. The above shocks will only let the suspension drop to the stock length of the OEM shock.

Cheers Don.

Put 5100 series on my '14 and they worked out nicely.

Looks good. My math is telling me I will have about 1" rake still if set in at the 2.1" setting.

Do you hook any trailer on the back? Will I be looking for an air bag kit to use my trailer?

This 15 is 1.5" taller than the 06 I had but rides so much better......

Cheers Don.

P.S. here is a picture of the 2015. Shes a bit dirty but you can see the before how low the front is to the back.

Yes I set mine at 2.1". Your truck looks to be a bit lower in the front than mine from the factory. I do pull a trailer but I use a load leveling hitch so no issues. I was prepared to install new springs in the back from SD TruckSprings if necessary.

Here she is after. Set at 2.1 from stock. The odd thing was that the rear went up .5" when adding these. I now have 1.5" rake to the truck. Going to put some time on it today and take it in tomorrow for a alignment.

So stock I have 4.5" front to top of wheel to lip of wheel well and the back I had 7.5" top of wheel to lip of wheel well.

Now set at 2.1" I have 6.5" front and 8" even in the back.

Cheers Don.
