04 stock height, but reading guys are using the 5100, but not saying if they have a lift. Bilstein shows those shocks for 4-6" lift. Would they work or do they work for stock height or go with the 18 and 19 recommended?

I do a lot of hauling with gooseneck. 20-24,000 lbs from MN to CO.

Thanks!!

My truck 2004 is stock height and I bought the blue & yellow ones (can't remember the part#)

that is the one you will need.

I only have a levelling kit, but I'm running 5100's. I think they look better than the yellow ones.

There is a company on eBay, TopGunCustomz I think that advertises regularly, a set of the 5100 series for 2-3" [ie: leveling] lift in front and 0-1" lift rears for just under $300. Bilstein is a real quality product imo and with the planned tow weight/distance etc you may want to go to the 5100 series over the blue/yellow versions...I don't know for certain myself but if you find these guys on eBay I guarantee you they will steer you in the right direction as they have both.

If I was in the market for new shocks, I'd go to eshocks.com, I bought my gauges at egauges.com, a sister site, and was impressed with the service and price.
