How this leveling kit works
This is not a spacer kit and it does not include new springs. The lift comes from the Bilstein 5100 ride height adjustable strut. You transfer your factory coil springs and upper mounts onto the new struts and set the lower spring seat in one of the snap-ring grooves on the strut body, from factory height up to about 2.6 in. The 5100 rears are direct replacements for the factory rear shocks and do not change rear height.
- You reuse: factory coil springs, upper strut mounts, isolators and mounting bolts
- You replace: both front strut and damper assemblies, both rear shocks
- You need: a spring compressor (or a shop) to move the coils, and an alignment after install
Why this kit
The 5th gen Ram forums settled this one: the 5100 is the way to level a DT without a spacer, and 2.1 in is the setting to run. At 2.1 the truck sits level on stock upper control arms with the ball joints and CV angles inside the range the factory geometry was designed for. Spacer kits push the same lift through the stock strut and stress the ball joints; the 5100 gives you the lift and a 46mm monotube shock in one piece. The matching rears keep the valving consistent front to back.

Questions
Which setting should I use?
2.1 in levels most DT crew cabs and is the highest setting recommended on stock upper control arms. 2.6 in looks nose-high to most owners and is best paired with aftermarket UCAs.
Do I need upper control arms?
Not at 2.1 in or below. At 2.6 in, plan on UCAs to restore ball joint and CV angles.
Do I need a spring compressor?
Yes. The factory coil transfers to the new strut. Plan on 1.5 to 2 hours per side for the fronts, 20 to 30 minutes per side for the rears, and an alignment afterward.
I have air ride. Will this work?
No. Factory air suspension trucks are excluded from this kit.
What is the warranty?
Limited lifetime warranty on all four dampers through Bilstein North America, processed through the original place of purchase. Keep your Hannah Suspension order confirmation.
