What are the correct Bilstein 5100 front and rear part numbers for the 07 4x4? Also where is a good place to buy from?

I noticed that. The part numbers don't match what Bilstein says for my truck either. But that is what I have installed on my truck. Others on this site have these shocks as well.

Thats because the 5100 series on the Bilstein website are able to be set at
0" lift (stock height, 1" , 2" lift for the fronts. The ones sold thru top gun are only adjustable at 0" ( stock height) or a 2" lift. The shocks are the exact same for the rears since there is no adjusting the rears. Top Gun just uses different part#'s because their 5100's shocks are made for RCD industries and will come with an RCD label on them. I bought a set from Top gun at $379.00
(including S&H) compared to shock warehouse price of $496.00.

Cool.

Since I dont have any RCD stuff on my truck I would rather them not say RCD on my shock. I also like have the 1" lift height even if I never use it.

I was going to buy the shocks that had the 3 settings but realized that to change the setting the coilover has to come off each time. I don't do this kind of work and I said hell with it and will just leave them at the 2" setting and be done.

Just for my info, to cure my ignorance, 0" lift (stock height, 1", 2" lift for fronts... That the same as a 2" leveling kit is that correct?

To boil down my previous post, My '08 SCrew 4X4 has a 2" AS leveling kit, are the Billstein 5100 shocks what I want?

To answer your question if my previous post did not...
You could get rid of the 2" AS leveling kit and set the 5100's on the 2" mark or keep the AS leveling kit and use any shock that fits your truck including the 5100 set to the 0" mark.
Billstein 5100's are supposed to be the best.
