Sure. Probably with issues though.

Rebel already has 1" longer Bilstein struts, so you'll be over the natural limits of the upper ball joint at 3" and the UCA will probably knock against the spring in aggressive driving.

You can always try and see... add the new UCA after.

So probably a safe bet to get new cha
I don't know of anyone here that went more than an inch without changing the uppers. Also a good chance if you're doing it yourself and you don't have experience separating ball joints, you'll likely mangle them and need to replace them anyway.

Hey man, we're you driving down bishop yesterday? I saw another rebel right by Dakota. Mines all black tinted out.

Sorry, I missed your reply @YawnY ! Yes, I drive down Bishop quite often. I'm in the south west of the city.
