4th Gen shocks on 2nd gen?

Posted

Hello. I found some 2018 Ram 2500 Bilstein shocks here locally, for cheap, will these bolt up to my 2001 2500 long bed 4x4 truck, with little modifications? The rears is what I’m after, but if fronts fit as well, then bonus.

If the 18 is a leaf spring truck then they might fit but fronts will not.

Thanks for the quick answer. 

I looked them up and they appear to have eye bottom mount and post upper so will bolt on our trucks however I'd assume the bt size is the same. 

 

I also have no clue what kind of suspension is on 14-18.length could be way off. Not sure these trucks mount shock inside coil. 

 

Good luck.

 

Also no any shock can be made to go anywhere with enough effort thought and time

I've done a lot of custom work when I was messing with cars and trucks back in the day, the only limit is your own imagination.

94-2013have pint top front shock tops and go through the coil. 13.5+ font mount outside the coil and also don’t have pin tops on front. I’m sure you could figure out a way to mount them but not worth the hassle for stock bilstein shocks
