Have a 2020 Rebel with Bilstein 5100 installed at clip 5. Perfectly leveled.. Question is when I load the truck up I now get some squat in the rear which I hate. Looking into lifting the rear a bit to get rid of the squat.
Should I go with ICON 1.5 rear springs or just go with a motofab spring spacer?? Not concerned about saving money, just trying not to effect the ride comfort, and do it more the right way.
I think the ICON Springs will only give me a half inch more seeing it’s a Rebel. Is this correct? If so, I’m not sure that will be enough to get rid of the squat when loaded up.

Any help appreciated! Thanks.

These will give you 2 inches of lift with 550lbs in the back before it squats at all, so it'll give you another inch if it's on a rebel over the .5 from the icon coils
Got them on my truck, so far love them rides great. https://www.dobinsonsdirect.com/pro...c16-053v?rq=mk_dodge~md_ram-1500~yr_2019-2021

My only issue with the MotoFab level in the rear is because I didn't swap out the rear shocks., Which makes the ride a bit harsh. Once those are replaced I think the ride will be great again.

Correct, I'm going to replace the OEM shocks for a set that will allow more travel. I believe the Bilstein 5100 or I might go with the Rough Country N3 since I have the coil struts up front from them. They are built for 1-3" more than stock height

I currently have a 2in Rough Country leveling kit with 285/70R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on OEM 18in wheels on my 2019 Bighorn. Does anyone know if I could run 285/75/R18 with my current setup or would I need to get a 3.5" lift to avoid scrubbing? 1633376177933.png

I was going to get them but ended up ordering the Eibach Pro Kit. So will see how it will all fit together and how much lift I get from the rear. I might still end of going with them if there is not much rake.

If want a little more rake/ load without squatting could use Dobinsons #C16-053V coils. I have about 2inches of rake after 6112s at clip 8 in the front.

Just wondering if I have to change out shocks also..?

Would be nice to have a thread with photos and details of different wheel/tire setups (wheel size, width, offset, tire size, any lift).
Custom Offsets.com has a nice gallery with a variety of different lifts/level & wheel setups.It was very helpful to me personally when I made some upgrades in those areas.

This is the exact lift I have ordered along with the same size tires. Except I am buying trail grapplers. Could you please post any other pictures, especially side shots. How was rubbing in front wheel well? Truck looks super! thank you
