Pumped about the new truck. Original plan was to replace wheel/tires & add a mild lift. Gonna stay with stock...even the white letters have grown on me...ordered max steel 2-tone. Wish I coulda picked up an in-stock Rebel 12...a must have package. Rebel woulda looked sick with a quad/short box. My trade's at the bottom...best part about the deal is a $6700 refund.

Congrats on the upgrade sir! I wanted a rebel, but around here they are still pretty salty. So I think I ended up with the next best thing .. lol

Hi....I have a perfect set off of my 19 Red/black Rebel with no tires. I put new Fuel Hardline 18x9 wheels and reused tires and pressure sensors. Only 1500 miles on truck so wheels are perfect. I am in Portland, Oregon. Are you anywhere close? Make me an offer. Thanks!

 

[PorBoy]

That is a great offer from you, but sadly I already picked up a set. Thanks once again for your offer.

 

[PorBoy]

As it currently sits with the Rebel wheels and stock tires lol.

 

[Leif_Ram2019]

Ummm... Why'd you do that?!

 

[PorBoy]

Ummm, because I owned them, the truck, and because well see the first part lol. That’s the great part is when it’s yours you can do as you want and unless others are footing the bill you’re not tied down. The best part is I’m sure they will be those who don’t like it and I’m quite ok with that.

Now if anything that I’ve typed comes across as being mean, that is not my intent. There was a question posted to me and I answered based upon my thought.

 

[Leif_Ram2019]

I asked with such exclamation (lol) because I just bought a set of the Rebel wheels with the Duratracs you took off (which looked badass). I’m curious why you removed the Duratracs. Anything wrong with them?

 

[Leif_Ram2019]

Oh wait... you’re not the OP... lol. Apologies. I got confused.

 

[JBeckman]

I am soooooo confused... lol

Just got a very similar Laramie in granite. Mine came with 18” wheels and possibly looking to upgrade to 20s. Looks great!

After tons of searching and looking for combos. Aftermarket, 18", 20". 33 or 35 tires etc. Stressful stuff. Lol But I still wanted a set of Rebel wheels. Finally found a set. Less than 200 miles on them and still had the blue over the RWL.
So I we made a deal via FB and I planned the 4.5hr road trip 1 way. Get there and they were all to be expected. Paid, shook hands and drove the 4.5hr return trip. Went to the dealer today to get sensors swapped and finally a wash.

9hrs on the road - $120 in gas
Snacks and lunch - $20
Dealership fee - $80
Rebel wheels and tires - $1025

Now black out the grill and color match the bumpers.

I actually thought about color matching the chrome, but it has really grown on me.

 

[JBeckman]

Actually made it even better. Took out the level and added a readylift 3.5". Little dirty, but still sexy!!

 

[PorBoy]

^^^. Now that is the height which these should have come stock.

 

[Leif_Ram2019]

So you're running the 3.5" RreadyLift on top of the already +1" Off Road suspension. I callled ReadyLift and they said it was totally good-to-go to do that. Does it look good from your perspective? I mean.. it obviously LOOKS good. But does it seem to be mechanically / functionally sound?

I completely agree!

Ya I was a bit sceptical. Have another thread I was asking questions on where one of the RL engineers chimed in. After fully installing, slowly driving around the block to get everything settled, torque down. CV look fine. No issues that i can see.

Had one rattle in the rear over bumps. Found i had lot tightened a stabilizer bolt... lol Otherwise is quiet as a church mouse. However i did great the crap out of the bushing in the UCA.
