Swapped out the stock Big Horn wheels for the Rebel pattern. Very happy. Slowly blacking our the chrome badging was well. Bilsteins have been ordered.

Looks solid. A lift will definitely help!

Thank you! And definitely...I have the bilstein 5100’s in order. Going to start with leveling the front end. I think that’ll be enough for me...but you never know lol

Looks sharp man. Good job. I’m in the process of de-chroming my Bighorn as well. Built to Serve 20” dark gray wheels coming in a couple of weeks. New A/T tires and maybe a lift are on the horizon eventually but first I gotta recover from my first round of Mod Sticker Shock, lol!

Yep. This forum and my bank account give each other bad looks all the time now lol

The big thing about a lift for me so that I feel like I’d want bigger tires lol

I’m very interested in this exact setup including the Bilsteins.

Questions:
Do the rebel tires rub with stock BH suspension?

What price range did you find the wheel/tire combo? My local dealer has a take off set for 1695 - I felt that was a tad steep considering all of the other BH/Limited/Laramie sets on FB Marketplace are 1000-1200.

Thanks!
 
If you post a wtb in our classifieds with your location, you can probably get a full set for less then $1K..

There’s no rub. But I am putting on 5100’s this week to level but it’s not due to rubbing.

I got mine local for $1000 (he was asking 1200) installed with about 4K on the rubber (Duratracs). Before that I had seen a lot online in the 1300-1600 range AND another 300 for shipping.

Very happy with look. The tires themselves are several steps above the stock BH’s come with, a lot more grip. There’s definitely louder road noise but even that I don’t notice anymore. When these wear our I’ll probably try the KO2’s as I’ve read they’re a bit quieter.

If you keep a persistent eye out I’m sure you’ll find a better deal than 1695. Good luck!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts after the Bilstein install. What setting are you going with? (4/5?)

I’m 22/24” front/back currently but not sure I want to be dead level. Would prefer 1/2” of rake at least, maybe more? Still deciding...

I’m going to do 5 (non ORP). All the pictures I’ve seen setting 5 avoids the nose high look. 6 seems to get most everyone perfectly level but it has the nose high illusion. They go on Wednesday so I’ll definitely update then
