any movement on Bilstein development for replacement shocks?

I heard there was an issue with the 3.0L Diesel and the 1500 AT 4 so far as Bilstein shocks. Issue (IIRC) was that the shock tower had a different bolt pattern than previous years and could not accept the common shock swap that folks were doing.

Any movement on this? I just drove across country and the Rancho shocks were HORRIBLE. FREAKING HORRIBLE.

I swapped some 5100's in without any problems with fitment. Are you referring to the assembled fronts? I reused the OEM parts and just replaced the shocks.

I have 6112s/5100s on my 3.0 and no issues (knock on wood) and got maybe an inch lift. Just shy of 39” to the underside of the plastic wheel well trim piece. This is on factory wheel/tires. The shop used the top hats off the factory shocks as Shock Surplus couldn’t give me an assembly time for them to do it.
