Any suggestions on simply replacing the OEM shocks, they don't feel that great and there is likely better out there.

I am:
Not lifting
Not leveling
Not putting on bigger tires
Not off-roading

I see Fox (Performance Series 2.0 IFP) has a set, Carli has the same but 'tuned' (Commuter)...
BilsteIn site isn't helpful as all their shocks come up as 'For Lifted XXX'
Any other suggested shocks to review?
 
Thanks for the input... folks.
So looking at Blisteins from what little I can find it seems the 4600 and 5100's are essentially the same shock (internally) with the 5100s primarily for lifted trucks..
For the rear I see part# 24-239455 for 0-1" lift... however, not finding a corresponding one for the front... 24-268639 says 2-2.5" lift.
There is no 4600 series for the truck... guess I'll have to call and see what's up.
 
Hey Gondul, my findings are the same as yours for the Bilstein 5100s and 4600s. However, Shock Surplus has the 4600s listed on their website: Shock Surplus
Maybe worth reaching out to them to verify fitment. I sent them a message when I was researching shocks a couple of weeks ago and they sent back that the 4600s are not available yet for 2019 2500 stock height, "They do not produce 5100s for the front if the vehicle has not been lifted at all you would run the 4600s which have yet to be released."

I hadn't gotten so far as to contacting anyone so you've saved me that hassle...thanks!
 
I had some Fox 2.0s on my 19 Cummins. I had no lift, but I did put some 35x12.5s on the stock 20s. I liked the ride quality, and Fox offered units for trucks with no lift. They were pretty easy to install myself. I haven't put any new shocks on my 20 yet, but i think I will be doing something similar.
 
Someone elsewhere recommended/mentioned the Rancho RS9000XL adjustable shocks... really haven't seem much on them at all.
 
I buy NAPA shocks for stock replacement. Lifetime warranty which works for guys like me who keep the trucks for 15 years usually.
 
Thanks.. looks like NAPA shocks are made by TENNECO who also make Monroe and Rancho shocks.
Limited Lifetime warranty appears to be the same for NAPA and Monroe.
