Anyone know the height difference between the rebel and ORP the rebel looks like it sits altitude higher but everything I see says they both have a 1” lift over a stock ram. Anyone have specs between the two. Or side by side pictures. Just curious.

They should be identical. Same exact setup, just different shocks/struts I believe. There us just always some variance even between identical models. Different options/weight/payload etc.

I park next to my 97 Tahoe with a 4 inch lift and in normal mode air suspension it’s the same height.

Um, there are a couple variables missing from that question... air ride? Can you confirm the mode of the other truck? Non air ride, you'd need to measure the strut from an ORP and a Bilstein from a Rebel to see the exact difference if any.

And are tires identical? I thought the Rebel's were unique.

On steel suspensions the Rebel and ORP trucks are the same height save for the difference in tire wall. I'm no expert on the air suspension but doesn't it lower to entry mode in park making it look shorter than the Rebel?

I don't think it enters Entry/Exit mode unless you select it... at least that's how it works on my Limited.

Gotcha, my bad, thought it was auto.

I would have thought so as well... about the only thing it does automatically is go from between Aero and Normal.
I can set it to Aero and it will stay that way so long as I don't go over the set speed, if I do, once I slow down it goes back up to Normal.

Off road group + air suspension on non-Rebel = identical to Rebel settings.
I read off rode 1 on non rebel air suspension trucks, is equal to the rebel in normal mode ,the rebel sits 1 inch higher than regular ram 1500 .

No, the manual doesn’t cover what happens if you have both the air suspension and ORG on a non-Rebel. In such configurations, Normal = 1” lift (like the Rebel), and there is no Off Road 1 and 2...just “Off Road” (like the Rebel). So again, air + ORG in a non-Rebel = Rebel with air.
