What did you do TO your RAM today?

[CharlieL]

Today, at 65,625 miles, I had the OEM shocks replaced with Bilstein 4600's. If I had realized how rough the truck was riding I would have done this long ago. Since this 2500 is my first HD, and my prior truck (10 years owning) was a Ram 1500 with 4-wheel air suspension, I've always thought it just "rode like a HD truck." What an incredible difference!

It's funny how new shocks make a incredible difference.

Why the 4600 vs 5100?

Why the 4600 vs 5100?

They are essentially the same inside. The 5100s are designed for lifted trucks vs 4600 are OEM length; and are silver instead of yellow.

I was wondering the same thing. I had the 5100s on my 1500 and they were great for that soft suspension. I was wondering if they’d be stiffer or about the same as oem on a 2500

New shoes!
Satin black Raceline Krank 18x9 +18mm offset
Cooper ST MAXX 305/70R18

Truck drives AMAZING compared to the lower profile 20s and ZERO rub at full lock. No more TPMS issues and dont have to worry about crappy Michilen tires anymore. Nothing against that brand, just not a fan of the tires I had and they had 60k miles on them

I had the 5100 on my stock height 2006 2500 4x4, when the shop l used placed the order for them they were asked if the truck was lifted or not to be sure to get the correct shock for a stock truck
