Shocks and ride height?
Does shock length affect ride height? My truck is supposed to be compatible with both the 4600 and 5100 Bilsteins.

No, neither of those shocks will change ride height. The 5100's are for lifted vehicles. They do not lift the vehicle themselves.
This.
Shocks do not carry weight and only absorb/dampen quick suspension fluctuations therefore they do not effect ride height. Springs/coils carry the weight of the vehicle and do effect ride height. You buy different shock lengths depending on the height of your truck, not to make it higher.
Not!
5100’s are for stock to 2” lift, I run 5100’s on my unlifted 2001 Ram and they work great!
