first time truck owner here. i have a 2019 ram 1500 bighorn 4x4 no off road package new body style. i ended up modifying it a little bit. i installed 2019 ram rebel wheels and tires and rebel front and rear shocks and struts. just did a direct swap no other components upgraded. aligned and balanced. my question is what should i look out for possible stresses that could lead to failure? btw i added a wulf half inch leveling kit. lol
thanks in advance happy thanksgiving everyone.

Did the Rebel wheels and tires fit the stock suspension?

They do. I made the swap with no changes to stock big horn suspension. I’ve since added 5100s but they fit just fine prior to the assign those

I'm about to do the same thing (shocks + springs only for now, no wheels/tires yet)

Have you experienced any issues? Any other parts that need/should've been changed? Sway bar links? Upper control arms?

What are you first impressions after the change? What is your assessment of the ride quality over the factory setup?

Thanks!
