Never seen an engine fail because the oil was changed too frequently. Every 5k miles for me (will full synthetic) unless severe duty like heavy towing, etc.

I'd imagine that truck OEMs adjust the headlight beams to be properly aligned with some sort of load in the bed (these are trucks, after all), which would generally cause the rear to squat somewhat. If one is leveling the truck then all they're doing is raising the front rather than causing...

Probably a decent solution to painting the silver "skid plate" or whatever Ram calls it at the bottom of the front bumper so it matches the rest of the bumpers.

Yes. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/17/uaw-calls-for-two-week-shutdown-of-big-3-auto-plants.html

Thanks! Nothing special needed to install the wheel spacers. I probably could have done 1" spacers with the OEM Rebel wheels without having to trim the studs. Nope.

Bilsteinlifts.com $237 Ride is great. Close to stock, maybe a tad bit more stiff. 35s? yes but you probably need 0 or negative offset (or wheel spacers)

The Bora spacers are wheel spacers (1.25") and unrelated to the lift. They are on all four wheels. The Bilstein 5100s are in the front only (OEM Rebel shocks in the rear) and on setting #5.

Stock tires (33"). I wanted a more aggressive stance without spending money on wheels. BORA spacers are rock solid. I've had no issues in 5k or so miles. Hand torqued to spec with a calibrated torque wrench. Brakes Plus did it for me in 3 hours including the alignment. It's just a simple shock...

Just in case anyone missed it in the 5100 thread in the suspension section, I installed Bilstein 5100s on the front of my Rebel last week The 5100 shocks come with spring seat adapters for the non rebel spring seats to properly mount on the circlips on the 5100s. The OEM Rebel shocks already...

Ride is just barely stiffer than stock. UCAs look decent. It's basically the same lift as the Falcon shocks for $250 instead of $1500.

I confirm that the 5100s definitely fit the Rebel. Position #5 has perfectly leveled me, even with 300lbs of sand in the bed. Just chuck the silver perch adapters from the included install kits. The OEM Rebel parts fit perfectly without those adapters

probably those positive camber numbers. Find a shop to get them to zero (spec) or if they can't, negative will handle better than positive. Positive camber is more likely to be found on a tractor.

33 Gallon tank holds 198 lbs of gasoline. I doubt that would cause a 1" drop on one side of the truck.

Hard to tell but I think it's the angle of the shot. Notice the 5100 is angled away from the camera due to the spring seat. Mine arrive Friday afternoon. I'm trying to get an appointment to have them installed Saturday.

The shocks look identical in diameter from the @WickedRebel post #481. I'm be "shocked" if the spring seats from the rebel shocks don't fit. LOL. In any event, it's worth a test for $250. ETA: Per Tasca parts, the retainers, grommets, etc. for the struts are the same for all the shocks listed...

I ordered a set of these last night for my Rebel. The falcon shocks look pretty awesome but hard to justify 7x the cost of the Bilstein 5100s. Thanks for the tip on fitting the 5100s to the rebel.

I'd go back. Or go to a better alignment shop.

Looks great! Front set to the highest setting?

I'm dying to see some photos when complete!
