Looks good! Maybe it's just me, but the fuel filler door really stands out in those pics.

Thanks for the pics.

Really like the RAM on the front.

Cool mods.

Well done, sharp truck!

I had 4wheel parts install. I dont have the equipment to do it but they had it done in a couple hours. They said it was straight forward, no issues

Ok so the 3.5" Kit does work? I took mine to the Dealer 3 weeks ago and after keeping it for two days they told me it wouldn't work on the Rebel. The Rough Country lift anyway.

#1 dealers are complete babbling idiots when it comes to modding our Rebels. #1 the manufacturers are just as incompetent when you mention "Rebel". As long as you don't go over the 3.5" your aok. If you wanna lean to the caution side go get a set of front Bilstein struts out of a 17 1500 4x4 and swap those in. You can find my post on the 6" lift for the part number.

Were these pictures taken - with the full 3.5" readylift kit installed? or did you leave out the preload spacers? I have the same setup with the preload spacers, but the ride quality isn't great, and has become stiff. I'm planning on removing the preloaded spacers from the front - your thoughts on this? Will it change the stance (noticeably)

That's how they are, even in person especially on certain color cars, it's for two reason. One is the door is plastic, it doesn't quite reflect the same way as the metal around it does, two is that the door is hinged and "floating", so it also isn't at the exact same angle as the rest of the bodywork around it, which also reflects differently.

He definitely has the full kit installed to get that height, you will drop about 1.5" if you remove the preload spring spacers. That's the main difference between the 2" level vs 3.5' lift kit.

Unfortunately, there is no way not to effect ride with a preload spacer, it will stiffen the ride. The 2" kit with the top spacer doesn't have that effect due to the spring not being pre-loaded. The only way to get even more height without negatively effecting ride quality is with coilovers or height adjustable shocks like the Bilstein 5100.

Thank you, for the advice. Would you happen to know, how much the parts/install would be around for the coilovers or height adjustable (Bilstein 5100s)?

There is a good thread here on the 5100s to see what people think, but based on what I read, I think you will love them for ride quality.

As for price, they are around $265 for the front pair ($132 each), they have about 2.5" lift. With your already installed top spacer, that should give you the height you want. Installation is probably the same as installing your current kit, because they will need to do it over again, for the front at least.

Here is a link from a quick search, I would double check though: https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/bilstein-5100-ride-height-adjustable-series-shock-absorber/prod840023

I'm looking to do the same, add the top spacer & UCA from Readylift and use the 5100s to get over 3" without negatively effecting ride.

Awesome! I really appreciate your input. The cost is not as much as I thought, so I'll definitely purchase the Bilstein 5100s, to keep the level look and height from the 3.5" Readylift kit.
