    Leveling kit

    Mine is a 2019 (new body) 1500, Hemi, 4wd, 3.92, nothing special. I'm just trying to post what I did so folks can see it. I don't know jack about the Rebels but I'd assume it's the same perch seats, same springs, and a stock spacer. If that's the case, no reason these wouldn't work for you...

    Leveling kit

    The springs settled a bit. It's about 2" higher than stock unloaded and around stock height with good weight on the hitch (500-800 lbs). Still very happy with my choice to buy the Dayton springs. I installed the Bilstein shocks with the external reservoir. Rides really nice now. I'm happy...

    Active Grill Shutter Removal

    Cool. To each, their own. For those who are interested, this is how.

    Active Grill Shutter Removal

    This post is for anybody interested in removing your Active Grill Shutter (AGS) system. In my case, I tow the boat a lot and I'm honestly not comfortable with the oil and coolant running 225-230 degrees pretty much all the time, especially not when it gets up to 238 while towing. The first...

    How to verify Bilstein 5100 setting

    Yeah. Pulled a tire and checked mine today. I put my Bilsteins all the way up on that 7th ring (the back is lifted too). See how the bottom of my spring is around the 5th ring? Yours is ~1 RCH higher than that since the spring seat is different. So whatever these are when maxed out...

    How to verify Bilstein 5100 setting

    Make sure the spring seat is not flipped upside down. Easy mistake to make. The 5th ring should be around 2” and it should be a tad lower in the front still. But if you’re looking for a reason to spend money... ;)

    new toy hauler, first tow home delayed to adjust for immense tongue weight

    I bought a set of these. They helped out tremendously. It rides like a truck should now too. https://www.stengelbros.net/350-905XHD-Dayton-Maxx-Heavy-Duty-Coil-Springs_p_41403.html

    Leveling kit

    Go back and read my longer post on the last page. The replacement springs added 2-3". The ride improved a lot. You can run stock shocks with a couple inches of lift in the rear, but I wouldn't recommend it long term. Longer shocks in the rear are next for me.

    Leveling kit

    Yes. I'm running these: https://www.stengelbros.net/350-905XHD-Dayton-Maxx-Heavy-Duty-Coil-Springs_p_41403.html with stock rear shocks right now. Remember that shocks alone don't change ride height. You'll need to swap the springs or add spacers if you want lift in the rear.

    Leveling kit

    I was going to start a new thread for this, but probably not worth it. Just wanted to get the info out there somewhere on a recent thread. The history and woes playing with the suspension on my truck... Front: - I installed top mount 2" spacers on the front coils a few months back. The truck...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Those things fall out all the time during shipping. The holes are slightly too big and they just fall out. I always silicone mine in place so they don't move or let any air out.

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Gotcha. I picked up that tip from somebody around page 10 of this thread. Maybe there's some more info on the comparable Android app back there. And yes, those are the speakers I grabbed. They had them in stock at Best Buy, so I grabbed 2 sets. (If I had planned on buying them, I would have...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Yeah, I did the same speakers front and rear. For me, the 4 door speakers ended up being wired backwards, all 4. But that's what worked for me and may not totally be the same for you unfortunately. That "Speaker Pop" app at least got them to all be the same. Maybe check them with the app...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Yeah, I hear what you're saying. I'm just shy of 3k miles now so it's time to start tinkering. ;) The ANC system itself can be quite beneficial. I think a lot of folks have been getting screwed by Ram's weird wiring and ended up with speakers out of phase causing the ANC drone issues. Down...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Yes, just the base 6 speaker system with the 8.4" deck. I bought some Kicker 3-way 6 x 9s and threw in there. They sound WAY better than the stock speakers. Those were garbage. Also, don't always believe everything you read on Crutchfield about speakers fitting. I've had 2 of these Rams...
