Bilstein shock part # for HD

[Viking Truck]

My stock rear Rancho shocks are leaking and I am planning to replace all 4 shocks with Bilstein 5100. When I look at the Bilstein website it lists two options for the front shocks in the 5100 series. One for trucks with 1.5 inch lift and one for trucks with 4-6 inch lift. My truck is stock height, Im guessing the version for 1.5 inch lift is the correct part number but looking for some confirmation. They list no options for stock height trucks.

Can anyone confirm the 24-253161 worked for their stock height HD AT4?

24-253161 For 1.5 inch lift.

24-218023 For 4-6 inch lift.

I wanted to put 5100's on and I called Bilstiens customer service and they told me the 5100's are for trucks that have a leveling kit and or lift on their truck! They told me that the 4600 models are better suited for stock height trucks!
They are internally the same but the 5100's work best on the higher position trucks that have been lifted. I have no plans to do a level or lift and the 4600's work outstanding and out perform the rancho's!

Thanks. I have overthought this for sure. I just canceled my order for the 4600 and ordered the 5100.
