With stock 33" tires would the 3.5" lift look silly? Curious on your opinions. Thanks guys.

I have seen plenty of them with 33s but with wide offset wheels which isnt my style. I think this setup with the 35s is perfect though.

I don't think mine looks silly but decide for yourself. Just had the ready lift 3.5 installed with rebel takeoffs and the stock 33" goodyears that come on the rebel. (275-70-18).
I didn't go with the 35 in tires because I use mine for off road a lot in the summer/fall and just don't feel comfortable squeezing 35's under the fenders with the suspension articulation that happens off road.
Did they use the whole kit? The reason I ask is because Readylift says they work for the Rebels, but shouldnt be used for vehicles with 23" of distance between the center hub and fender. 4 wheel parts called their tech and they were yold it would be better to use the two inch leveling kit. Essentially, we will be doing a 2 inch lift all around, vs the 3.5" in the front at 2 in the back.

They used the full kit, 3.5 in the front and 2 in the back but mine is not a rebel, Just the rebel wheels and tires. Pre lift it measured 21.75 from center hub to fender

This is the 3.5" readylift. However, I didnt use the spacers in front per readylifts recommendation, so this is a 2 inch lift all the way around....probably go taller in the future, but it lets me squeeze my 35s in there.

3.5" ReadyLift, 35x12.50, 20x9 0 offset - straight from the RL site
How’s the ride after this setup? More stiffer or still comfortable? Do you think 2” leveling also good for 35” tire without rubbing? Thanks

so according to readylift you are not supposed to use that kit on the rebel. you can without the preload spacer in the front but then you are not going to be level. witch i think looks like ***. the thing is you drive components were not made to have the org 1 inch lift plus 3.5 inches of lift in the front. that is a total of 4.5 inches over regular and you would need more modification than this lift kit provides to support it. so the part of the lift kit you can actually use in the front is identical to the ready lift level kit. and then its a rear lift to go with it witch will not be level. or just buy the level kit

I like the stock look of the powerwagon so I went with 2.5 front and 1.5 rear spacers, added UCAs since I was in there. Not silly just preference.

The 3.5 kit or any puck kit is for looks only. You have a Rebel. If you want to keep the offtoad capabilities without damaging your front end, you need a suspension lift like Bilsteins that will give you 3 inches and contribute to your capabilities.

I got a 3.5” rough country lift with N3 shocks and struts. My truck is mostly on Pavement and dirt roads so don’t need anything too extreme. I put on 18x9 -12 offset Mayhem Warrior wheels. This is before and after with 275/70r18 Wrangler Duratrac tires. When these wear out I’ll stuff some 295/70r18’s on it but looks ok for now I think.

Yep 33s and 3.5 look silly really needs a 35.


With a 2-2.5” level… 33s-34s looks good.

I'm curious, when you do the level do you need to recalibrate the adaptive cruise control and/or re-aim the headlights? I haven't seen anybody talk about this so I wasn't sure if these things are impacted or not. I'm just researching to do a level on my on '22 Rebel and want to understand what all I"m getting into.
