The Black Rhinos would probably be your best bet for off road , the fuels would be more for the streetsThe black rhinos also

I had also looked at the dirt logics before I went with the ready lift 2 inch with UCA’s. I decided to wait for Fox/king/Bilstein Too see what comes out for their coilovers for the ram rebel , for the price I got the kit I pretty much just paid for the UCA’s which I will use in the future for the coilovers I wanted so it was a win win situation.
In the meantime, I went ahead and ordered a 3-inch Dirt Logic lift system from Fabtech that comes with front Dirt Logic 2.5 coilovers, new heavy duty upper control arms, and rear Dirt Logic extended length shocks.
The Fabtech-Dirt Logic system will cost almost twice what I paid for the Teraflex-Falcon system but also will be getting a more robust off-road system with very good on-road ride quality as well (hopefully near the Falcon level of quality). The Dirt Logic shocks are now constructed with a stainless steel body and patented piston rod for improved durability and corrosion resistance (which has been an issue on older systems in the past).
Proof is in the pudding so will be very curious on how the system actually performs (and if I net out the full 3-inches of lift). The system is on back order due to the COVID-19 situation but hopefully will have it in about another month. So more to come...
With respect to the Fabtech lift you ordered, did you assemble some sort of parts lists, or was there simply a line item that included all parts? As I'm browsing the Fabtech site, I do not see anything other than some spacers for the 2019-2020 RAM for an actual lift. Hoping you can shed some light on how you went about assembling all of the parts, or even perhaps sharing part numbers as I'd be interested in costs associated with lifting my Rebel.
Well, a quick google search cured my issues. I'm assuming that perhaps you may have picked up this system?
3" Ball Joint UCA Lift Kit w/ Front Dirt Logic 2.5 Coilovers & Rear Dirt Logic 2.25 Shocks - K3169DL
The mild lift height from this 3" ball joint uca is subtle yet gives the vehicle a commanding stance without over doing it.fabtechmotorsports.com
That said, I did some basic shopping and came up with this, as I do like those Duratrac wheels. I had KM3's on my JL Rubicon, and the road noise was way too much for me, although an awesome tire otherwise.
just a thought..
View attachment 55883I did the letters yesterday switched them out with black ones, but was wondering what is that on top of the roof?
Btw awesome thread
Those look amazing. Can't wait to see them installed.

So what are your tire choices you are trying to decide between?@Ride2little; thanks...I can't either. I think I have a few days to decide on tires before the lift gets in so hoping to have them mounted by end of the month.
Looking forward to see how they look!
Looking sharp.

I’m on pins and needles ! Enjoying the progress and detail of your build!Thanks...hope to have them on soon!
Hey PorBoy...thanks again!
Should be my next post!
My wheels got here sooner than expected! I was stressing a little about the wheel coloring not quite working with the Ram's Granite Metallic paint and matte black trim on the grille, etc. but I was pleasantly surprised on how well the wheels match both. I just mocked up the rock ring so all of the black mounting bolts are not installed:
The replacement rock ring is an exact match with the Rebel's matte black grille surround, fender flares, and other trim while the painted metallic gun black wheel is darker than the website photos and turns out to be almost dead-on too with the rest of the truck. Yah!
Now I need to concentrate on getting the right tires.
Edit; grammar/sentence corrections
Those are very sweet. Did you go with the 18 x 8.5 and 0 offset?
Care to share about the pics themselves? As in what camera/filter/etc u used
