Fabtech 4" lift for Rebel and 35" tires

[Jimshaf]

I just dropped off my 2019 Ram Rebel at Fabtech for a fit check on their new 4" lift kit. They will be offering this kit to the public very soon. Fabtech does have the 4" lift for the 2019 Ram 1500 completed, but they wanted to see if any adjustments are needed for the Rebel. I will be posting pictures along the way.

My truck is a 2019 Ram Rebel, without air suspension. I will be adding Fuel Rampage 20x10 wheels with a -19 offset and Nitto G2 35x12.50 tires.

very nice, can you find out about air suspension also?

I will check

From Fabtech. "We do not have a kit for air suspension. We have looked at building a kit, but we have very few calls for it. The installation side of what it would take would be rather lengthy and involved. Hence we do not have one at this time"

Is this going to be a proper 4 inch lift with new knuckles and drop brackets to lower the front diff and lower control arms?

Yes it is. I will see if I can get a complete parts list.

They said the full kit and parts list will be available in June. Check their website for the update

That’s awesome man, I called them about the program and they said it wouldn’t be worth me getting truck delivered to CA from GA lol I can’t wait for this kit

 

[Rammit]

I’m very interested to see the results and your feedback on the ride. Thanks for sharing

Does the 4" include a bypass shock?

I pick up my Rebel tomorrow from Fabtech! Here are a couple of picture they sent me. I will post some more pictures and my thoughts, after I pick it up

They said not yet. The front is a 2.5 coil over with reservoir and the rear shock is 2.25 smooth body.

Man that looks so good. I'm taking mine into fabtech next week for the 6" but I really wanted the 4" I'll trade ya! I wonder if I can recycle the parts from the 6" in conjunction with the 4" kit. I don't think the 6" comes with a reservoir either sadly. Oh well free kit lol

I drove my truck back from California to Utah. Here are my thoughts

First, let me say that my previous truck was a 2012 Ram 1500 with a 6" BDS lift and 35" tires on stock wheels. The truck drives amazing. I'm not sure old truck (reference point) was just getting old and sloppy, but this new lift performs better than new. The main steering functions are just as smooth, tight and responsive as it was before the lift. The turning radius is a little larger, which is to be expected. The new shocks are phenomenal. They have taken everything I have thrown at them so far ( 1 mild trail and roads) and I couldn't be more pleased. The rebound is so smooth and fast. Things that normally would have normally been a slight jolt, it just breezes through them. The stance is exactly what I was looking for. Not to giant, that my 5'2" wife hates it. For reference, the bottom of the tow hooks is 22.5" off the ground. I couldn't be more pleased.

I have attached a few more pictures. These were taken on my phone and I suck at photography.

Nice! Do you know what parts were put in? I would have thought it would take a cross member up front

They said they will send me a parts list, when they do the press release.

Very surprised there isn’t a differential drop.

Exactly. Especially with readylift telling me that anything above a 2" on a rebel is no good on the CV axles.

 

[SilverSurfer15]

I wish they would use a different stock photo, those desert ones always look fake to me. I hate it lol.

Truck looks good, but I’m also not sure how I feel about there being no Diff drop. But maybe there is, in the form of small little spacers or something. Let’s see what they say.
