Weekend at the cabin with the Rebel: Rigid 360s final hooked up with the amber backlighting:

Woohoo! I think mine is arriving next week but won't have it installed until end of the month. 😞

Ah, you knew I was getting close...lol! Couldn't pass up on the year end sales! We'll have to compare notes once installed!

So, I have this sweet system coming in: BDS 3-inch with Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Coilovers with Dual Speed Compression (DSC): Instead of the Fox 2.0 Rear Shocks, I upgraded to the Fox 2.5 with Remote Reservoirs and DSC as well: Since the system is basically the 4-inch Fox PE system for...

It only took about 3 years to finally hook up the backlighting on my Rigid 360 Series Driving and Spot lights. I used a Cali Raised Switch Controller and In-cab Panel as I also want to add some ditch lights and rear backup lights. The switch controller system is great as you only have to go...

Gotta love the Holidays! Weekend at the cabin.

Finally hooked up my Rigid backlighting using a Cali Raised switch controller and in-cab panel. Only took me about 3 years...lol.

I had to think about this some more and then it finally dawned on me that I should be changing my Fabtech 3-inch UCAs as well. On the BDS site for the 3-inch PE dop bracket kit, if you choose the UCA option, they state that they use an indexed ball joint cup to correct the ball joint positioning...

I agree that you can fit 35s with a 2-inch lift on the Rebel as that is exactly what I am running now with my Bilstein 6112 setup (actually, it netted just under 2 inches of added lift). I was just referencing what BDS says will fit between the two different 3-inch systems. Regarding the UCAs...

That’s my thought. Hopefully it does work out.

Okay, I finally got it all sorted out with BDS with one last round of emails. I basically stated that if I order the non-drop bracket 3-inch PE system for the Rebel, I will net out 2-inches of lift since that is the same system for both the Ram 1500 and Rebel (same part numbers). I could...

Further clarification from Scott Fox at BDS: Hi Paul, the base kit components of the rebel 3 inch PE kit and the standard 1500 4 inch PE kit are exactly the same. There is also some adjustability in the coilovers themselves. I would go with the 3 inch PE kit for your rebel. It should give you...

I really want to believe that as it would be close to the perfect set up for me, but still struggling with the BDS response. I had asked a few questions but really only got a response to my question about the new 3-inch systems. My question: There are two 3-inch Fox PE systems; one with coil...

But then I noted that the 1500 4-inch system will fit 35s and the Rebel 5-inch system will fit 37s (like the 6-inch Race shock system). So definitely a 6-inch system (but not sure why the 6-inch Race Series systems are not advertised the same way). Makes me wonder then if the BDS 3-inch drop...

The 5-inch kit is a hybrid kit which combines the drop brackets needed to correct the suspension and front drive train geometry while also providing superior coil-over performance. So yes, you have to do some cutting and welding to relocate diff brackets and add cross members, etc. I think...

On the BDS' Rebel webpage, I saw that BDS came out with a 5-inch Fox PE coil-over system; they advertised it as fitting both the Rebel (which I have) and the 1500. That is interesting because on the 1500 webpage, they show a 4-inch Fox PE coil-over system under a different part number but do not...

Used the Ram to bring some supplies up to our mountain cabin for the weekend.

Honestly, two different kinds of shocks with different purposes: Dirt Logic 2.5 Coilovers: definitely tuned more for higher speed Baja style running. They did provide a good balance between ride comfort, increased ride height/clearance (especially since getting close to 3-inches of actual lift...

Okay, I had my rant! I just can't part ways yet with the Rebel and the battery has not died again since my last episode a couple weeks ago, so I am back to wanting to keep it. But if it does leave me stranded again, I will definitely be giving it the boot. So, I decided to tackle the install...

Talk about being a yo-yo! Been doing a lot more heavy research on the dead battery issue and finding all sorts of potential causes and fixes. So I decided to try them all out to see if I can at least narrow down the field before making another complaint and bringing the truck back to the...
