    Bilstein Availability

    I'm guessing they did. There could be many reasons why stock of one side gets depleted faster than the other (warranty replacements, people buying just one for whatever reason, unexpected scrap rate for 1 side, etc.). Not sure what their operation is like, but when you encounter delays like...

    CAI, what did you end up installing and why?

    I installed the Corsa CAI and followed the instructions exactly. Didn't have to disconnect the battery and had no issues. Chose the Corsa for looks and price since you don't gain much from the intakes other than sound and minor flow increase.

    Bilstein Availability

    The 5160s are out of stock mostly on the rear right (25-299267). I confirmed with a Bilstein rep that the only difference between right/left of the 5160s are the sticker placement and direction of bracket that holds the external reservoir. I bought two lefts (25-299946) and installed them a...

    285 or 295?

    Yeah definitely the spacers. Everyone needs to take into account effective offset for rubbing potential (whether through spacers or aftermarket wheels).

    285 or 295?

    Looks great. Thought for the sake of others I'd add my experience. I just put on 295/70/18 Toyo Open Country AT2 Xtreme tires on stock rebel wheels. These are specified as 34.3" diameter. With 1.5" wheel spacers and Bilstein 6112 set on 6 (~1.2" lift over stock in front), I had rubbing on...

    Wheel Spacers

    Little dirty from the recent snow, but should give you an idea. There's a raised circle that I trimmed just to the side of and then straight down taking out the "bulge" where it was rubbing.

    Clunk with 5100's on Rebel

    Check the bolts where the shock mounts into the top hat and also your bolts on your links to the sway bar. I had a clunk after installing 6112s up front and retightened those. Went away after that.

    "Some kind"of a Rebel?

    "We start with a $48k truck, add $25k in parts, and your price now is only $89k" Is that $15k in labor, or a $15k markup for making the truck look that way? I also like how he talks about the "crazy off road specs" haha I would love to see someone try some real offroading on those rubber bands...

    Products to use with local car wash?

    I won't enter the debate of car wash vs. hand wash, but if you move forward with the $10 unlimited I would recommend the following Adam's products for home use. Basic, easy to use, and quality... Exterior: 1. Good microfiber cloths (click) 2. Detail spray (click) - I go to a self car wash and...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I like this. Can you post a link or list exactly what you used?

    What are your top five upgrades?

    Interesting to see the differences/similarities between everyone's list. I guess I'd put the first 5 things I did to my truck: What I consider important (and what I got for each) 1. Spray in bed liner (Line X) 2. Tonneau cover (Retrax XR) 3. Side steps (Rhino RB20) 4. Mud flaps (Husky) 5...

    6112s/ fox 3in lift coilovers

    Differences in spring rates?

    Tonneau Cover

    As Reverse indicated, the space taken up by the canister in the bed. With the revolver x4, you don't lose any of the bed and it was fairly easy to remove the cover when absolutely needed.

    Bilstein 5100 vs spacer level

    It depends on what you choose to install. Something like the 5100's where you're reusing the stock spring, you get roughly the same amount of lift (from your current height) per ring location as you do for non ORP/Rebel. This means you do get 3" total lift if you set it for 2" lift on the...

    Tonneau Cover

    A lot depends on your needs and requirements of the cover. Things like ease of removal, how much room of the bed is still usable, how secure it will be, etc. Also, make sure you look for opinions from those that have had multiple types/brands/etc. of covers to compare. I often find responses...

    Wheel Spacers

    I just installed 1.5" wheel spacers on stock suspension. Had to trim the front husky mud flaps I have on the truck, but nothing else.

    WANNTED: TONNEAU COVER; BUT WHICH ONE?

    I've had the following tonneau covers: Fold-a-Cover G4 elite (hard 4 panel folding) BAK Revolver X4 (rolling aluminum) Truxedo Lopro (soft rolling) Retrax XR (hard retractable with t-slot rails) Each one was chosen for various reasons and uses, but I liked the BAK Revolver X4 the best...

    New 2021 Ram Rebel Running Board Debate

    I was between the GR RB20 and DSS. Ended up going with the RB20 and am happy with my choice. I like the mopar off road ones, but they were more than double the price.
