Removed 1.5” leveling blocks making the ride so much smoother and replaced rears. Maxed out the front leaving the rear about 1” taller with no load. So plan on another issue to fix when doing that

These struts ride the same if not better than stock. Going over bumps feels like nothing. I am very impressed with these hopefully they last a long time as I am sure they will. I put my struts on the 1.4inch level setting and it brought the front end up quite a bit. The truck has the slightest bit of rake to it but it’s almost level which I like. The next setting up is 2.1 inches and it may give the truck the Carolina squat look which I don’t like. Overall very happy with the struts and 1.4inch level setting.

We live about 2 miles down an old Forest Service road and these shocks transformed my Ram 1500.I have the front shocks set to level the truck and it looks amazing and rides even better.If you are thinking of buying these shocks, pull the trigger.

All I can say is, wow! I have a 2016 ram 1500 eco-diesel with stock suspension and a leveling kit with airbags in the back only. I have only owned this truck for a couple months but thought the front was awful bouncy going over bumps. It almost felt like it washopping off the ground and would sometimes shift the truck into an awkward position after going over very large bumps. I rented a coil spring compressing tool and went right into installing these things. I was expecting an improved ride, but was not expecting miracles. Well, I feel like I got a miracle because the ride quality difference before and after installing these shocks is hardly comparable. I removed the leveling kit spacers from the original shock tower, and set these shocks second from the furthest away, giving it a 2”+ lift. Installation was quite dreadful, but that was not the fault of the shock but rather the fault of 104,000 miles on stock, suspension, rust, and just age. I had to end up cutting off the top shock nut to get the old shocks out of the coil spring. The driver side took me probably four hours because of this, but the passenger side took me about an hour.I took the truck for a ride over the bumps that I used to dread going over and I honestly hardly felt them. So glad I put these on my truck. This is the first set of Bilstein’s I’ve ever had and the quality felt very nice as I would expect.

These were amazing to install and really transformed my ride. I've run bilstiens for many years and they have treated me well. For some reason these ones only lasted 1000 miles before one of them completely blew out the seal and leaked all of the oil out of them. Overall they are amazing i hope that they are able to send me a new shock for the rearUpdate: Warranty upholding sucks and they voided my shocks because it's the longhorn model. Never buy from trends auto again

Not only are these better than stock as far as ride quality goes, but they provide the leveling lift for the front so it doesn't have the stock rake. Makes it look better, handles better (especially on washboard dirt roads!), and doesn't hurt the wallet.

Very nice shocks. If your truck is at all rusty be prepared for a heck of an install. I had to drill out the bolts holding the shock in place to the cap. For a 2018 RAM 1500, a 2.1 inch lift on these shocks will level you. The shocks are a little stiffer but help a lot. Great purchase and good ride.

I had 130k miles on the oem. I put these on before I went on 3k mile trip pulling a camper near max weight. Glad I did because the roads were horrible but these saved my bacon. I highly recommend them. The front adjustability is nice option to have.
