I did look at that bumper! It's a sweet setup but I determined that since I am constantly accessing my truck bed, it would limit my ability to haul things with the tailgate down as well as being kind of annoying to have to keep moving it aside to access under the topper (especially when in the...

I mounted the spare tire on the factory spare tire wheel but did not try to place the new spare tire back into its factory location under the truck bed.; the inflated tire is just way too big as it is 35.3-inches in diameter. Instead, I am going to secure it in the truck bed under the topper...

Just got some new meats mounted on the wheels too! After an exhaustive spreadsheet analysis, I pulled the trigger on some Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T LT305/70R18s (35.3 inches tall x 12 inches wide on my 18x8.5 Black Rhino wheels). Even under load when mounted, the new Baja Bosses are...

I have the 3-inch BDS-Fox 2.5 Performance Elite coil-over lift for the Rebel (which is the 4-inch BDS-Fox 2.5 Performance Elite for non-Rebel/ORP 1500s which have different length coilovers). With the tires, I am right at 4-1/8" inches of additional ride height over the factory Rebel or about...

Got some new shoes!

Thank you! Hope to have new photos soon of more off-road adventures as well.

@boogielander - great write up and suggestions. I had the basic understanding but putting that into practice when first using new equipment is another thing, so hearing about your actual experience and preferences is greatly helpful as well. I think a lot of readers would appreciate reading this!

Yeah, the larger high speed adjuster was really hard to turn at first but seems like it is a bit easier to do now. The smaller low speed adjuster is almost too easy and hard to feel the clicks. Right now, I am running the low speed at 2 clicks from fully open and the high speed at 3 clicks. I...

Thanks. I only took a front measurement so have to finish taking the rest. But I wanted to do a quick comparison against the other suspension systems that I tried. End result is I got just a tad over 3-inches of actual net lift over the Rebel's factory ride height (or 4-inches over a non-Rebel)...

Well, hope mine makes the company in here.

Finally able to get a quick photo shoot of the finished suspension. As mentioned previously, I decided upon the BDS 3-inch lift with Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Adjustable Coil-overs with remote reservoirs and dual speed compressors (DSC) paired with new BDS UCAs for the front and Fox 2.5 Shocks...

Another, close up.

Also, I finally got the truck into the shop for the installation of the Rebel specific-BDS 3-inch Fox Performance Elite suspension system. It took them a full couple of days to complete the installation and alignment, but the geometry is now all back where it needs to be and the alignment is...

So, things are starting to come together. Finally have the winch all spooled up and operational. Yah! I did purchase a second clutch handle, grinded down the foot a bit more to better clear the Warn fairlead, and sprayed painted a satin black to match the rest of the assembly instead of...

That is interesting; not sure how you can dial similar ride quality if all you're doing is adding more tension to the spring by adjusting the coil over more. BDS lists Part #88406383 for the front coil over kit for the 4-inch Fox PE suspension and Part #88406335 for the front coil over for...

Spent the day escaping a winter storm...made it home!

No, I need to stay with a 18x8.5 or 18x9 wheel. -12MM offset would be ideal but 0MM offset would work. But as far as I can tell from the Brink Wheels website, there are no 18-inch wheel offerings yet.

It’s basically the 4-inch PE kit for the 1500 but net 3-inch PE kit for the Rebel: https://bds-suspension.com/product?ma=2&mo=96&ty=99&yr=2019-2022&kid=1760FPE

Well, too late for the sale and too late for anything being in stock. I really was looking for 18x9 -12MM to replace my Black Rhinos and those Insurgents in smoked titanium are nice enough to lure me away to 20x9's! Nice job on the new wheels!

Looks great! I was excited about these (and even more so for the Insurgents) but unfortunately no 18-inch and/or negative offset options (yet).
