    Group Buys: RB Performance Brakes BBK for 18" Wheels and Downsize Kit for 17" Wheels

    You're welcome! These two kits being offered by RB DO NOT replace the OE rear caliper due to the integrated electronic parking brake. The kits DO come with rear two-piece rotors in which you will re-use the OE rear calipers but could change the rear pads to an aftermarket option. Therefore, you...

    Group Buys: RB Performance Brakes BBK for 18" Wheels and Downsize Kit for 17" Wheels

    The biggest limiting factor with the OE brake setup is the super thin rotors. They don't have much thermal mass so they heat soak quickly. You could replace the pads with ones that have more bite and rotors with an aftermarket option that may be made of a better alloy to hold more heat but...

    Group Buys: RB Performance Brakes BBK for 18" Wheels and Downsize Kit for 17" Wheels

    I've been helping RB Performance Brakes host a couple of group buys over on the TRX forums. Since all the DT 1500s share the same brakes, I figured I would share the information over here too. This is a perfect opportunity to get either brake kit at a group discounted price making the cost...

    Intake manifold removal/install

    It's relatively easy if you have any experience wrenching on vehicles. The only part that gave me a little trouble was disconnecting the fuel line. The key is to push the fuel line disconnect tool and fuel line toward each other to release the retainer clip, once that is released then you pull...

    Just got quoted $3900 for a leveling kit at my local dealer for my 1500

    Did you check the ball joints to see if the mechanic added grease to them? I would not be surprised if the dealer missed that step during the installation.

    Just got quoted $3900 for a leveling kit at my local dealer for my 1500

    I had the ReadyLift leveling kit with UCAs when I had my 2020 Rebel. It was $370 for parts, $500 for installation, and another $500 to convert back to stock when it came time for trade-in.

    Windshield tint and HUD

    I have 35% on the windshield and a 5% AS1 banner. I've never really paid attention to the headlights coming on earlier but the HUD looks perfectly fine. I wish it was a little bit darker on sunny days and a little bit brighter at night. Overall, I'm extremely happy with 35%. At most, you can...

    2021 Ram Rebel - Leveling Kit

    I had -12 offset wheels. It rubbed slightly on the tiny factory mudflap that came on the truck. I removed the mudflap and drilled two small holes in the wheel well liner to put a zip tie through and pull the liner back. The latter was more of a preventative measure to make sure the tire never...

    Pulsar + Pedal Commander

    I always ran Sport+1. It drastically improved the throttle response. I had an unlocked PCM with a Jay Greene tune so I can't chime in about the Pulsar throttle sensitivity. I got so used to the PC that I even now run it on my TRX.

    UCA Thread

    I had the ReadyLift level kit with UCAs on my Rebel. They worked great and suited my needs. I thought it looked great with the 35s I had on it.

    Are you kidding me Ram!?

    I know this is an old post but I had the same thing happen to me when I was converting my Rebel back to stock. I had to press the red lever inwards, toward the PCM so the plastic gears would engage the sliders to unlock. That only worked so much so I needed to use a flathead to help force the...

    2021 Ram Rebel - Leveling Kit

    I ran the Readylift leveling kit with UCAs and 35x12.5s for all 3 years that I owned my 2020 Rebel. I never had any issues and even tested them a fair bit off-roading.

    Tire size recommendation

    Thank you very much! The only downsides are the minor rubbing, loss of power, and worse fuel economy. The rubbing can be easily fixed. When I slam on the gas in a low gear, I can feel the difference of the heavier tires at the very low range of the RPMs but as the motor winds up it starts to...

    Tire size recommendation

    I personally like the look of the bigger tire filling in the wheel well. Here is a set of Fuel Block 18x9 -12 offset with 35x12.50r18 Toyo Open Country AT3s and a 2" Readylift leveling kit with UCAs. The heavier tires are definitely noticeable but I have enough performance mods done to still...
