Any recommendations on a leveling kit? 2” or 2.5”? I won’t be carrying a load or towing. Thanks in advance.
 
I have the same truck and I went with the 2" kit because I didn't want to be nose high. Right after my kit was installed, my truck was 1/2" higher in the rear. Now that the suspension has settled in, it's just under 1" higher in the rear.

I just got the 2" Ready Lift with the UCA a week or so ago.

I'm actually trying to get this installed but my local shop guy is worried about having to disconnect the air suspension. And honestly, so am I. Tire jack mode pretty much takes care of that…?
 
Rough Country makes a leveling bracket for air ride and Revel Performance makes suspension links and the Daystar puck. Check those out
 
im wanting to do a 2.5" front and 1.5" rear on my rebel, who makes this kit ? and would i need new UCA ? Thanks !

MotoFab makes a kit for this. Opinions vary on the need for UCAs. Most shops I've spoken to say there's no real need until you go 3" or above. I just ordered my MotoFab 2" level and I'm not getting UCAs with mine especially since I'm 99% on road.
 
I have the motofab 2.5" leveling spacers up front. I had a lot of rake stock, and the 2.5" seemed to get me practically level. Went with 295/65r20 Yokohama Geolandar MT's on stock wheels. Fits without rubbing and ride is still very good.

I got the 2.5 motofab spacers and the rough country UCA, and also got 285/55r22 Yokohama Geolander G015 AT, trying to get time to install it all, figure about 5 hours including alignment.
i went with the new upper control arms due to the way the factory arms are built they are cheesy.
 
Where is everyone finding UCAs to go with a 2" or 2.5" Motofab leveling kit? I found a set on rough Country but says for 3" lift only....will that work since the Rebel already had the 1" Off-road suspension lift?
 
I dont know about Motofab UCAs but the ReadyLIFT (and others) comes with UCAs: https://www.readylift.com/2-front-l...ar-control-arms-2019-2022-ram-1500-4wd-1.html. 2-2.5" is the same measurement no matter the brand name right?

Personally, I am leaning towards the 3.5" SST Kit: https://www.readylift.com/3-5-sst-lift-kit-2019-ram-1500-4wd-1.html. It comes with some rear spacers as well to keep a bit of a rake but provide more clearance for 35s.
Im still debating a full 6" suspension lift though...

Yes that will work. You will be at 3” in the front with the ORP springs and a 2” puck. Any aftermarket UCA will do. Personally I went with the Zone UCAs.

Thanks, ya I have seen the RC sets, just wondering if the one for the 3" lift is the better choice since I have a Rebel with the factory 1" and plan on doing a 2 or 2.5" Motofab spacer

I put Bilsteins set on setting #4 on my 2020 Bighorn with the orp. Had Rough Country UCAs installed at the same time. The shop told me the alignment was very easy. The angles look great. It's probably only a hair over 2.5", but they work fine.
 
Which RC UCAs did you use ? The OEM replaced or the ones for the 3-3.5" lift? They have 2 diff sets on their site
 
I used the RC forged UCAs 3-3.5". I've had them on for probably 8-10k miles with no issues. They are bulkier than the tubular UCAs offered by other companies. I installed 285/60r20 tires on oem wheels, and the clearance between tire and UCA is a little close. Couldn't go any wider without changing to a more negative offset wheel or spacers

the OEM. I talked with at RC and told them i was installing a 2.5 inch level and they recommended the OEM has more articulation than the factory ones
