I cranked my T-Bars 2" to level the front. The ride still seems okay, but I want new shocks.
I'm going with the Bilstein 5125's. Is this correct? FRONT - BE5-6140-T5 REAR - BE5-6248-H5 The rear of my truck will NOT be lifted. What will I need to get to make the Bilsteins work? I've read you have to modifiy something... If so, where can I get what I need? Black 2005 Std. Cab SWB Dodge Ram 1500 - Aeroturbine AT3030 dumped, Bilstein 5125 shocks front and rear, True Flow CAI, Superchips 3815, 2" T-Bar crank, 35x12.50 Toyo M/T's on stock 20's, 180* Thermostat, Taylor 8mm shorty wires, Black Chrome shorty antenna     |

I ordered:
BE5-6140-T5 for the front. BE5-2550-H1 for the rear. 2 bushing - 98108G 2 Sleeves - 423730 About $295 for everything. I opted for the HD replacements for the rear because I will rarely off road my truck and these are a little cheaper and easier to install overall. Hopefully they'll ride a little softer as well.

Yep, those will work. I think you'll like the ride improvement.
