The Bilstein 4600 shocks are their stock replacement line. The 5100 shocks are intended for lifted applications but have verifiably been found to work on stock applications too.
When looking at the 5100's it can be deceiving, the correct front shocks are listed as being for 2"-2.5" lift but IMO really should say 0-2.5" lift. The correct rears are listed as 0"-1" lift.

5100’s on stock Suspension
Like mentioned above, your tire choice is irrelevant.

I have Bilstein 5100’s on my stock suspension F250 4X4 and they’re the difference between night and day over factory shocks. This company actually documents that they will work on a stock truck. I have been running Bilstein’s for 30 years. Great shocks.
