Few questions, lol..

What size tires? How's the ride on #6? And these are Bilsteins rear springs with Bilstein 5100s, correct? I've seen various reviews that say 1.5" of lift vs 1" from the springs.

Doing the exact same lift on my Laramie Sport….have the kit just waiting for it to warm up. What size tires did you go with? How much lift did you gain in the end? how is the ride? Looks awesome.

I went with 275/60/20 8 Ply Falken wildpeaks which per Falken's website is a 33x11 tire. I lifted the front 2.1 and the back 1" with new bilstein coils and new shocks. It provided a mild lift but still let somewhat of a rake. If you wanted to go higher you could do 2.6 up front and get 1.5 rear coils. Sorry for the late response. I forget to log in here.

Think I’m going with the same 6th clip and 1”rear coils. With the 275/60 tires how much higher does your front and rear sit? Also Debating on getting the 65s but don’t want the tires to look stuffed. If you have anymore pictures that would be awesome. Thanks again

My understanding is that the adapters should not be used on a Rebel because they use a different spring seat from the stock Bilsteins than non-Rebels that need the adapter. Yours definitely has the adapter on there. If you take them out that will probably bring you down 1/2”. If you are a full inch high I’d consider also dropping down to the 4th circlip position as well.
