Hi All,
Ordered a 22 Rebel and looking at lift options. From all the reading I've done here it seems like you cant go more then 3.5" (2.5" on rebel/ORP) without installing a drop bracket. I am debating on which route to go lift or level. I wanna be able to fit 35" tires and I do fair amount of overlanding so I'd like it to be somewhat offroad capable. So far I have narrowed it down to 3 options...

1) Zone offroad 4" lift

2) Rough Country 3.5" with struts/coils

3) RC UCAs with bilstein 5100 set to 2" with 1/2" top hat motofab spacer in the front and 1.5" morofab rear spacer.
This option will give me a total of 3.5" in the front and 2.5" in the rear as rebel already has 1" lift from factory

What do you guys recommend? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Rough country 6” lift vertex coil overs vertex AE44C591-023A-4F90-A3B1-2BCB635E097E.jpeg rear adjustable shocks 35x12.5 on -44 offset, still rides fantastic after 1 1/2 years.

If you want to make your truck off road capable then get yourself some good fox or king 2.5”-3” coilovers, a good set of UCAs and you’ll fit your 35s and have wayyy better performance off road than you would with the 4” kit. Trust me, I have the 4” kit on my truck. It’s a nice lift kit that keeps factory ride quality on the road. But for off road nothing is going to compare to coilovers and keeping your center of gravity a bit lower.

I have 2-3" Fox 2.5 coilovers with dsc, and run the BDS uca's for front, have the Icon rear coil springs and Fox 2.5's dsc for the rear's and love the setup.

I still run the stock wheels and tires but have Method nv305 double black wheels 18x9 with 295/70r18's going on once these tires wear down.

I love the fact you can adjust high and low speed damping for endless driveability 20211203_184703.jpg 20211113_171714.jpg 20210525_164104.jpg

would you be able to do both? I am looking to lift my rebel 4 in and trying to see if its also possible to put foxs on it.

You could, yes. Probably get those Fox coilovers and add a 1” spacer on top as long as you have the rest of the 4” lift kit or get custom length Kings
