Compared to our Fox 2.0 shocks, the tuning in the Bilstein 5100 shocks is a bit more firm, but not so firm as to make the ride quality stiffer than OEM suspension.
If you like a less floaty more planted sports-car feel, or have some weight added to the truck especially with a high center of gravity, these shocks are a great option!
Fitment:
BIL-24-776 front shocks fit and function withThuren Front Coils only. They are too long to use with OEM front coils.
If your rear suspension has been modified, be sure to read the descriptions below and choose your shock option wisely, so that coil springs do not become loose, or OEM air-bag-springs do not get ripped open.
**BIL-24-464 rear shocks are for all Thuren rear coil springs, with or without up to a 1.5" tall spacer.
**BIL-24-455 rear shocks are for OEM coil springs with or without up to a 1.5" tall spacer installed, or if you have OEM Air-Ride with a 1" to 2" tall bag spacer installed.
**BIL-24-667 rear shocks are for un-modified OEM rear Air-Ride suspension.
Details:
Come with shock boots installed, so they work well in corrosive environments.
These are standard non-custom Bilstein 5100 shocks, chosen specifically to function proper with our coil spring designs.
I bought the springs to replace the factory coils. They are too soft. Its squats bad with a light trailer. With my gooseneck it squats horrendously empty. Even more than with the truck bed full of tools and the trailer fully loaded with heavy equipment. I won't be able to use my truck as a real truck unless I replace these springs or get airbags to assist. Would only recommend on a truck that doesnt work. It is a much softer ride than stock.

Rides better than new with Thuren level kit, dual rate rear springs and bilstein shocks!
Excellent customer service and my 2018 ram 2500 rides better than ever. Wish I would have bought this suspension setup when the truck was new.

Thuren coils
2025 ram 2500 installed the thuren 2.75 coils and bilstien shocks along with the rear spacers and could not be happier.

Not overly impressed with the way they ride on wash board roads.
