In fairness to RAM, it's possible Bilstein discontinued the piggyback-res shocks as well, and the 2020 Rebels made after a certain date have the replacement shock. Ram should have notified the market... but the change may have been forced on them.
It shouldn't matter if the shocks "really aren't that good" or are fine for 99% of the buyers. You could make a similar argument for the Ford Raptor, "the Fox 2.0 is just fine for most Raptor drivers... what's the big deal?" Only difference is magnitude.
If the 2020's get a beefier shock in lieu of piggyback-res ones... sounds like a fair trade. Ram has a duty to notify though.
There are some 2020’s that have the remote reservoirs, so far it looks like it’s the later models that do not. A build date of 02/20 looks like the cut off.
Something as significant as a shock change on their most off-road rated truck should most definitely be conveyed to customers, I just wish we could get an answer from someone.
