Creating a plan: OPINIONS WANTED!

[BozemanRebel19]

Hello all,

I have a 2019 rebel. Aside from a couple of minor technical issues (FCA you SOB's) I'm really loving it. However, I'm slightly underwhelmed with the Bilstein suspension setup. I understand they probably chose it knowing that the large majority of rebel owners would only ever go to the grocery store and maybe drive on a dirt road or two. So, I'm looking for some upgrade ideas. Ideally, I wouldn't lift the truck any more than about an inch and a half from where it is. As for performance, I want it to be about 75 or 80% Ford Raptor. That is to say I want to be able to bomb down trails and do a little crawling without cringing but I don't need to win Baja races or throw 50 foot jumps. Ideas?

To get it where your talking about your still looking at a few thousand dollars. I haven't seen any companies with coil overs or anything out yet for the 19's and nothing that will get our drivetrains there yet either.

Have you looked into the Mopar lift? I know you said you wanted 1" and it's 2" from a standard suspension which should put you about 1” above your current height. It uses Fox coil overs and shocks.
