Why this kit
The four-shock Bilstein 5100 set for the solid-axle Ram HD with the leaf-spring rear, covering the second, third and fourth generation 4WD trucks. The 24-185776 front covers stock height through 2.5 in of front lift, so it works on a stock truck as well as the common leveling kit, and the 24-191203 rear covers 0 to 1 in of rear lift. Both are 46mm Bilstein monotubes with velocity-sensitive digressive valving and a limited lifetime warranty. These are the same two part numbers that Ram HD owners have been running for years, in one order.

Questions
Does this fit my 2003-2009 Ram 2500 or 3500?
Yes, on 4WD trucks. The same two Bilstein part numbers cover the 1994-2013 Ram 2500 4WD and the 1994-2012 Ram 3500 4WD.
I have a 2013 Ram 3500. Which kit?
The 2013 Ram 3500 moved to the new chassis a year ahead of the 2500. Use the 2013-2026 Ram 3500 kit (24-251747 / 24-302326). The 2013 Ram 2500 stays on this kit.
My truck is stock height. Is this kit fine?
Yes. The 24-185776 front is rated 0 to 2.5 in, so it fits a stock truck and leaves room for a leveling kit later.
How long does installation take?
Rears are 20 to 30 minutes per side. Fronts on the Ram solid axle are a bolt-in shock, about 30 to 45 minutes per side, no spring compressor needed.
What is the warranty?
Limited lifetime warranty on all four shocks through Bilstein North America, processed through the original place of purchase. Keep your Hannah Suspension order confirmation.
