It’s interesting- link didn’t work but you can just select it on the left from the drop down menu. They have a specific 2019 air ride Rebel kit, but the pics don’t look like a Rebel. Look more like a black package. If it’s really a 4” lift up front (looks like it is), that’s awesome. Plenty of room for more than the recommended rubber or more negative offset, whatever your deal is.

What's everyone's opinion on the BDS vs Rough Country kit? Looks to me like they contain basically the same components. Would the BDS be worth $850 more? I have been waiting to see the BDS kit before deciding, but not really sure its worth the cost difference.

I ordered the kit through a local BDS dealer/installer. He said he has 2 other 2019 Limited's in front of me and can't do mine until mid December! What's another month and a half, I've waited this long lol. Looking for wheels and tires. Going to probably go with 22" Fuel Forged and Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35's.

It is a very interesting kit. The instructions indicate no welding. It has an extended upright in front and requires zero-offset wheel. BDS has kits for the 2500 with air suspension also. Interestingly, they have 2500 kits that replace the single leading arm with a 4-bar linkage like the rear.

Is anyone trying this kit considering going to try the Milestar Patagonia M/T tires?

Nice Racer.

I would be interested in hearing more details like; How does it drive? Did you loose the air ride feel? Does the added height adjustment still work? Costs involved....those sorts of things.....

What advantage would you expect in the 6" kit over the 4" kit?
