Searched quite a bit but can’t find a definitive answer…

 

Bilstein doesn’t show a 5100 adjustable strut available for the 2023 1500 Crew Cab SLT.  Does anyone know a reason why the ones listed for the 2021 (Part # BIL-24-293297) would not fit at 2023 SLT? I’m not aware of any suspension changes, but the online sellers just say, “It says here that it won’t fit.”

 

Can anyone help?

Does your SLT come with the X31 package (2 inch lift), you may need the Bilstein 6112 series.

Yes, but I thought the X31 was stock height and the AT4 has the 2” lift.  I can’t tell any difference in height on my SLT, but the AT4 is definitely a little taller.

X31 / Z71 is NOT a 2” lift

I appreciate the clarification on the X31.  That helps.  Does anyone know the answer to my original question?  Are there any suspension differences between 2021, 2022, and 2023 that would prevent the same 5100 shock/strut from fitting a 2023?  I contacted Bilstein and can’t get a response.

I don’t believe there are any differences that would prevent them from working.

 

I read that TB/AT4 got new upper control arms on 2023s but that doesn’t affect you.

I used that same part number on my 2023 SLT X31 without any issues. Same as the 19-22's.

Thanks for the response!  Yeah, I bought them and installed them about 3 weeks ago.  Set the front to +1.5” and I still have just enough rake so the back end doesn’t droop when a trailer is connected.  I’ve been really happy with them and the ride is much better as well.

Thanks for the compliment.  It’s the Sterling Metallic they added for the 2023 model year.  Replaced the Quicksilver Metallic from 2022.  Sterling is a little darker than the Quicksilver was.

It’s stock size (275/60r20), but the specs for that tire (Cooper Rugged Trek) actually show almost a half inch bigger diameter (33.5”) than the stock Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner A/T.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
