Hi'yall.

Just finished the below installation on my (granite crystal metallic) truck. Looks fantastic if anybody else is considering a similar setup;

Wheels:
Method 305 Bronze
18x9
PCD- 6x139.7
Offset -12

Tires:
Cooper AT3 XLT - 295 /70 / R18

Lift:
Achieved using Bilstein 6112 shocks and coils up front (ring 7) and 5160 in the rear. No wheel spacers and no strut spacers.
Mild 1-3/4" front. 1/2 Rear.


No rub at all. Clearance is approx 1cm in the front at full lock. Tires sit pretty much flush with the fender...probably stick out 3/4 inch.

Looks great, -12 Methods on 34" tires is the combo I'm going to do as well, your truck definitely lets me know I'm making the right decision.

I have Bilstein 6112 on ring 7 up front, 5160 in the rear. Gave me 1-3/4" lift in front and around 1/2" in the rear.

How do you like the 5160’s compared to the stock Rebel shocks?..

I gotta say, if think they're excellent. On road they feel very similar to stock but perhaps you would expect this on a almost completely flat and smooth surface. Off road is where they shine. My driving is almost exclusively desert/sand so lots of bumps and they (6112s & 5160s) just absorb it all up. The stock suspension was being driven close to its limit and was bottoming out quite frequently. I could tell I was hitting the bump stops regularly. I have not had that issue yet with the 6112s amd 5160s. FYI, I do not jump my 2019 Ram Rebel...yet 😁 However, lots of hard landings going over dune crests....they just soak it up. If I would change anything it would be to add adjustment at the rear to stiffen when carrying load...otherwise a great setup!
