Looking forward to seeing how that works out for you! Do you have the Rebel/ORP or standard 1500?

So I am curious what you are going to try? I assume the 2-3 inch FOX 2.5 coilover kit with a 1-inch top hat spacer to replace the strut spacers on the 4-inch drop bracket kit?

Yes, I am going to sell it as I convinced myself I would be happier with a shorter wheel-based off-roader.

Dang, sorry you went through all of that and I sincerely hope it was the battery. I posted a couple threads on this too as my Rebel went dead on me twice with the first time while on an off-road trip in CO and the second time just over a week ago when trying to get to work. I also have my...

Yeah, I suggested that too the last time I dropped the truck off at the service department. I think it may be the USB deck in the center console as it constantly powers up and down when I am driving. Doesn't seem to be affected until something gets plugged into the USB ports (iPhones) as then I...

Well, this is the end........................................I think. Earlier this week, I had to get into the office earlier than usual and so I go out to leave only to find that my +$60K , low mileage 5th Gen Ram Rebel is totally dead, again. If you recall, I posted exactly a year ago when I...

Not just the 2019 has this issue. I posted almost to the day a year ago when I took my 2020 Rebel with the 5.7 Hemi (non-elec) out for an off-road adventure up in Ouray, CO. Came out in the early AM to start up the truck and found it was totally dead. Paid for a service from another town to...

So soon after the install of a new set of Bilstein 6112s to replace the one busted Dirt Logic coilover, I set out on a short road trip to see how things worked out. First, the 6112s are set at their highest level for 2-inches of lift on the Rebel. I retained the Fabtech UCAs along with the Dirt...

I'll be sure to post as soon as get my truck back. May be a bit before I try them out off road. Great to know; everything I could find suggested the same.

Oh, if BDS came out with a 4-inch Fox 2.5 system, I would be all over it. But I can always revisit down the road, I just needed to get my truck up and running for now.

Update: Well, I had to make an executive decision based on two controlling factors; 1). aftermarket availability is still pretty limited on a lot of parts and systems, and 2). my shop, Desert Rat, had a limited window to get something done for me since my vehicle is currently not safe to drive...

Yeah, I could go with the top hat spacer. I talked to a couple of shops as well as BDS directly and all strongly advised against it as it will severely limit my wheel travel if I try to take it on moderately difficult off-road trails. But getting a true 3-inch lift height and overall stance...

Well, this is an interesting predicament. I thought I had noticed that my truck looked like the passenger side was leaning just a tad but didn't pay too much attention as the truck does lean slightly side to side and I also thought maybe the pavement was sloped a tad and playing tricks on me...

Took the truck to deliver some materials to my cabin that we're rehabbing. On the way there, we drive right past this little development (circa. 1100 AD)...lol.

I have the system currently installed on mine. The Dirt Logic coilovers are tuned more for high speed desert running so a little stiff until you get to speed. For lower speed rock crawling and/or washboard roads, the ride can get very rough. Highway ride however is very good with good control...

Maybe I am taking this wrong myself, but it seems like some folks are getting a little overly critical and off topic. I get it that not everyone cares to think about or engage in some level of prepping. Just not a pleasant topic for any reason (grid going down, war, zombies) as there are...

Totally agree on that which is why I do store enough gas to at least fill the tank, but honestly was already doing that more for any reason. True. EMP could be used initially and if so, at least have a chance to get out of town. If not, I draw no other conclusions other than we're all screwed...

I agree assuming you're at home and able to do so. I was sort of thinking about when something happens that you didn't know about and/or away from home or on the road. But you're right that would protect the electronics!

Interesting (and some hilarious) responses. I didn't think I was suggesting an all out "doomsday" but rather a deliberate high altitude (+200 miles) EMP attack on electrical infrastructure versus what folks are referring to as traditional ground explosions that take everything out. Admittedly...

So, I have been thinking about this for a while. I am not a fatalist or extreme prepper by any means but world events has me thinking more about the "what ifs". Of course, we are all bombarded with the insanity going on over in Ukraine, but the insanity may be spreading faster than anyone...
