I lifted my f250 and am very limited on shocks for a 4" lift. Bilstein doesn't make any to fit mine with a lift. Gonna have to settle for another brand. There are a couple, but I don't have them in front of me.

I dont remember exactly but I'm running a 3"-4" lift i think too... Does that mean the 5100 series wont fit mine either???

I've been looking on SD spring, tire rack, amazon.
All the Bilsteins are for lifted trucks
I knew their 5100's were for lifted trucks. Didn't think ALL of them were. In fact, I thought on the website that some of them were specifically for stock trucks.

The 4600’s were for my stock F350, Amazon will tell you if it fits your truck if stock, is lifted it gets a little harder.

I'm running rancho rs5000 shocks in my truck now, rides pretty good is a little more sporty/stiffer I supposed but hit a big bump there gonna take it I'm also on logging roads in the mountains a lot so they help there lots of large pot holes and washboard. Cornering was improved a lot also with them but I was also running completely dead old shocks before this lol

Those are about 28 bucks a pop cheaper... Looks like I got some more homework to do.

The rs7000 rancho shocks are fully adjustable but the price goes up a bit but I was just looking for a good quality mid range shock that didn't totally break the bank

Idk if I necessarily want or need adjustable... Truck is tall already.

Yes they don't adjust ride height just firmness, since you mentioned your lifted the rs5000 maybe a good set since they are a little stiffer they helped my truck from swaying on corners since mine didn't come with sway bars. unfortunatly I've never rode in a truck with bilsteins so I can't compare the two
