Rebel leveling/lift help

[dbakerrr]

Just purchased my 2021 Ram Rebel, but have a few question I cant seem to find the actual answer to they all just ignore the question and recommend something completely different.

The Rebel package comes with the 1" lift that's achieved through struts and springs, comes like this from factory. I have a shop that tells me the 2" RC leveling strut (w/ UCA's obviously) is enough to level out my truck... But my math tells me I'm really only gaining 1" on that setup? I'm thinking if I went with the 3.5" RC struts that would actually raise me up 2.5" in the front. Has anybody gone with the 3.5" RC strut up front and kept the rear stock? was it level? if not, what did you do? Remember, I'm only talking about the Rebel or trucks with the ORP.

Any help is much appreciated!

Don't waste money on RC. For the same price you can get Bilstein's or Eibach's. These are the very best low end levels.

Same price, NO. But Bilstein and Eibach are better.

Yeah. You can get all 4 Bilstein's for $450.

anytime you change your coilover setup just minus 1" from whatever the advertised lift height is.
for example, if it's advertised as 2" then you will only gain 1" over your stock setup.
if it's advertised as 3" then you'll only gain 2" over stock height.

and yes, it's called ROUGH country for a reason.

You can get RC full strut assembled for $350.

The the Bilstein is just the strut with no coil spring. Most people are not comfortable with or don't have the equipment to decompress a spring. So that's more added cost.

Again, Bilsteins are better but they are not the same price, otherwise RC wouldn't have a market.

So for just $100 more you can have as solid suspension that will last instead of cheap Chinese garbage. This NOT apples to apples.
