Yes no play

If that’s the word you would prefer…. Then yes “peen” the top. There are other ball joints that have a retaining clip that is installed on the top side but they are usually sold out. I was lucky enough to have bought the last two for backups just incase I need to do another one.

So the top of the OEM has to have the tops grounded down to be pressed out. The replacement I bought didn’t have any clips. So it was just pressed back in and “cold shot” which is you just take a punch and hit the edge out a little to act like a retaining clip.

Here is a picture of the OEM ball joint on the passenger side and the replacement that we did on the driver side.

I will try to get a picture tomorrow, truck is filthy with the early winter thaw.

It works! I have put a couple of hundred miles on the new replacement with no issues.

It worked, just grind the top of the old ball joint off where it is pressed over. Then press it out and press in the new one. Then cold shot the top of the newly installed joint to keep it in place like anyone replacement.

So I am debating on buying the stage 2R kit to replace my 2inch leveling kit on my 2020 Rebel. I am currently running 35x12.5 tires and by reading the specs on what the amount lift this kit gives you I shouldn’t have an issue. Is anyone else using this setup with 35x12.5 tire? If so, any issues?

Nice! I have been thinking of upgrading my Rebel’s suspension to this set up. I am running a Motofab 2 inch front and 1.5 inch rear spacer and it rides stiffer than I like…. I have F rated 35x12.5R20s and the rear gets squirrelly over potholes on dirt roads. What size tires are you running? The...

What did you find out with what was causing the noise? I get a low speed clunk with my 2020 Rebel too. I have 2 in pucks and RC UCA for 3-3.5 lift. I have taken it to multiple garages and the everything is tight.

So I see where there is about if good info on this thread. I would like to offer what I have learned the hard way with my 2020 Rebel. I installed a 2.5 front and 1.5 rear Motofab spacer kit and Rough Country 3.0-3.5 UCA to clear a 35x12.5x20 wit a -12 offset. I found out quickly that with a 2.5...
