I did a quick search on Bilstein. Looks like they have them. You'll have to go in with more specifics though. Once you narrow it down there, you should be able to get the part number at various places. I used Shox.com, and was happy.

You can adjust the ride height on a classic NBS with shocks?

5100 series Bilstein shocks for an 03 1500 4WD are...

BE5-C153-H0 for the front with 0"-2" torsion bar adjustment (shock has a clip to set the distance)

BE5-D147-H0 for the rear

They are about $75-$80 each at most online shops. But good luck finding them. I have an in-need 03 also and have been waiting almost 2 months now. Bilstein is backordered nation wide. Last time I talked to them they were just getting back into producing them and only about 120 C153's had been produced. That's only 60 pairs. I have been considering the Edelbrock Perf IAS myself as I can't wait much longer. But the IAS are not adjustable and Edlbrk does not specify a PN for the front with the t-bars turned up. KYB on the other hand has a good rep and does make a length for the t-bar adjustment. Ends part number ends in a 76 I think. Price similar to the Bilstein. If you can wait, the 5100's are supposed to be pretty nice. But HD's, 5100's, 5150's, backorders all over the place.
