I'm confused! I'm getting 2 different part #'s from 2 different websites, and Bilstein's site isn't any help. I'm looking for part #'s for the 5100 series (don't want the baby blue and yellow look) - 02, 4wd, stock height.
FRONT Shocks

Important: Units for trucks with double shocks. See Bilstein for details. Compression bump stop on chassis may need to be modified to prevent damage to the shock absorber. This is standard when placing longer shocks in the stock location.

Important: Use on 1999 - 2004 models with up to 2-inches suspension lift. On 2005-up models, use on trucks with a 2 to 4-inch suspension lift. Compression bump stop on chassis may need to be modified to prevent damage to the shock absorber. This is standard when placing longer shocks in the stock location.
That's one of the sites I found too, but when I called them they gave me part #'s BE5-2818 and BE5-C296. 4wheelparts gave me BE5-6246-H6 and BE5-A464-H6. I'm not real sure what the differences are.
Something's up with what they told you on the phone... either they misunderstood you or mis-quoted the part numbers or you might have mis-understood the numbers they quoted.
The"2818" is the standard HD yellow and blue shock you're NOT wanting, and the "296" number is for either a Jeep or Freightliner. I got that info by searching their site with those part numbers.
The part numbers from 4wheelparts match exactly the schockwarehouse.com numbers I listed above in my first reply, and I believe that is exactly what you need based on what you've told us thus far.
Sorry one last thing. When I search part # F4-BE5-A464-H5 at Bilstein's site it shows BILSTEIN - LIFTED TRK 5100 10"TRVL 170/60 * Position: Front /Rear * Setting: 5100 Series
OK,does this sound right for my truck.It has a 2.5 inch leving kit.This is the part# that i got but its ony for a 2 inch lift,does it make that much of a difference if a have a 2.5 inch lift.F5-BE5-6246-H6
