Why this kit
The four-shock Bilstein 5100 set for a leveled fifth-gen Ram 2500, with the part numbers already sorted out. The 24-268639 front is sized for 2 to 2.5 in of front lift, the 24-302043 rear is the 2019-and-newer coil-rear shock for 0 to 1 in of rear lift, and both carry Bilstein's 46mm monotube and velocity-sensitive digressive valving. The result is a truck that stops porpoising over expansion joints and keeps a trailer planted, without the harshness of a cheap lifted-truck shock. Limited lifetime warranty on every shock.

Questions
Ram 2500 or Ram 3500?
Since 2014 the 2500 uses a five-link coil rear and the 3500 uses leaf springs, so the rear shocks are different lengths. This kit is 2500 only. The Ram 3500 kit uses the same front with the 24-302326 rear.
My truck has the factory rear air suspension. Will this fit?
No. Bilstein does not list the 24-302043 rear for trucks with the factory air ride option.
My truck is stock height. Is this the right kit?
No. The 24-268639 front is for a truck leveled 2 to 2.5 in. Use the Bilstein 4600 Front & Rear Kit for a stock height Ram 2500.
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.
