Last Sunday I had a chance to drive a 2018 Ram Rebel with a dealer installed 4 Inch BDS air suspension lift. Overall I was very impressed with the way the truck drove with the lift kit, it drove like stock for the most part, yeah with an additional 4 inches of ground clearance and 35s as opposed to 33s you noticed it a bit in the cornering but overall the truck drove very nicely. BDS is apparently working on a lift for the 2019 trucks with the air suspension and after driving this I can say it would be a very viable alternative. I cut and pasted the part that I think you guys would find relevant, if you wanted to see the whole review click here: https://moparinsiders.com/2018-ram-1500-rebel-quick-take-review/
Once again, thanks to our friends at Abbotsford Chrysler, I had the opportunity to review the 2018 Ram 1500 Rebel. What makes this particular Rebel special is the fact that it has a dealer installed 4 inch BDS lift kit and is riding on 20 inch Fuel wheels with 35×12.50R20 tires. Lift kits for air suspension equipped Rams have become a bit of a hot topic lately. Many new customers are taking interest in the Ram brand with the introduction of the all new 2019 Ram 1500 which combined with the air suspension being available on more trim levels, has created a lot of questions about whether or not you can lift an air suspension equipped truck. While BDS had had this kit available to 4th Gen trucks for awhile, I have heard that they are currently developing a similar setup for 2019 Ram 1500s equipped with the air suspension. The larger tires make the truck feel a little sluggish compared to stock but it still has more than enough power and is a trade off you will get putting larger tires on any vehicle. All of the built in air suspension settings are retained with the lift kit, with the truck automatically raising and lowering based on pre set speeds. I was very impressed with the way the truck drove overall, it felt like driving a stock Ram 1500 which in itself is a testament to the BDS lift kit and the air suspension itself.
