Why the Bilstein 5162
Solid-front-axle HD trucks that want to level the front with a spacer and step up to remote reservoir shocks at the same time. The Bilstein 5162 kit for your 2014-2026 Ram 2500 2WD/4WD is a front leveling kit: coil spring spacers matched to 5160 remote reservoir monotube shocks. You get the level stance and matching shocks in one box, with damping valved for the new ride height rather than a spacer on factory shocks.

Questions
How much does it lift the front?
2 in Lift, enough to level the factory rake on most HD trucks. It does not change the rear.
Do I need an alignment?
Yes. Any front ride height change on a solid-axle HD truck needs caster checked and set.
Can I run bigger tires?
A leveling kit clears roughly one tire size up on most Super Duty and Ram HD trucks. Bilstein does not publish a maximum tire size for this kit.
How long does installation take?
Two to three hours for the front axle, plus an alignment.
What is the warranty?
Two-year limited warranty (Bilstein North America). Bilstein warranties are non-transferable and processed through the original place of purchase, so keep your Hannah Suspension order confirmation.
