... snipped ... You have the wrong Bilstein shocks. The 5100 are their off road shock. The 4600's are the heavy load shocks.
I respectfully disagree. The 4600 and 5100 series have the same internal working bits. 4600's are for stock height ... the 5100's are for lifted suspensions starting with the 0-2" lift range.
This explains the differences:

The OP did not mention a lift to his truck set-up. Therefore, either shock will work just fine and no need to replace them if they are in good working order.
