Bilstein 5100 Shocks with Skyjacker R25 Front Leveling Springs
This package combines Skyjacker R25 front coil-spring leveling components with Bilstein B8 5100 front and rear shock absorbers for compatible 2014–2018 Ram 2500 diesel 4WD trucks without rear air-leveling suspension.
Included components
- Two Bilstein 24-268639 front shocks — fit 2–2.5 inches of front suspension lift
- Two Bilstein 24-239455 rear shocks — fit 0–1 inch of rear suspension lift; without air-leveling suspension
- One Skyjacker R25 front coil-spring leveling kit — manufacturer-listed 2–2.5-inch front lift
Vehicle fitment
For compatible 2014–2018 Ram 2500 diesel 4WD applications without rear air-leveling suspension. Does not fit Cab & Chassis models. Verify the exact year, trim, engine and suspension configuration against all three manufacturer application tables before ordering.
Why the year range matters: Although Bilstein lists the front 24-268639 for 2014–2026 Ram 2500 applications, its rear 24-239455 application table lists 2014–2018. The complete package is therefore described using that narrower overlapping range, not the broader range of the front components alone.
How this package levels the truck
The Skyjacker R25 is a front coil-spring leveling kit, not a spacer kit. Its springs provide the front lift; the Bilstein front shocks are sized to accommodate 2–2.5 inches of front lift. The shocks themselves do not create lift and are not ride-height-adjustable coilovers.
The rear shocks accommodate 0–1 inch of rear lift. No rear lift springs or spacers are listed in this package, so it retains the existing rear suspension height.
Bilstein shock construction
Both shock part numbers are B8 5100 monotube shock absorbers with manufacturer-listed 46mm pistons. Their digressive damping design responds to changing road inputs to support controlled handling on compatible lifted applications.
