looking for other Bilstein models

I'm pretty sure that I am going to upgrade to some Bilsteins, but I just wanted to check and see if there were any better / other options than the 5100s. What about the 5150s or 7xxx series? Thanks.

Everyone talked Bilstein's up and down on this site, they do ride well, problem is they rust bad. Donahue's don't.

Donahoe is just about as good as it gets. I emailed them about a month ago begging them to make a short lift kit for our trucks. Not sure if it will ever happen, but its nice to know they have shocks available.

Well I have a 4 inch lift on my truck and I believe I ran a 3-7050 on the front and 3-7502 on the back but I am sure it depends on the height of your truck. I know my shop sells them for $98 apiece but I am sure they get them cheaper. There is probably a dealer around you.

Donahoe is the company that makes the Edge lifts that Ford drivers swear by. If they were to make stuff for Dodge id seriously consider them. Ive heard nothing but good things about them. I know their leaves are made by Deaver.
