I have a few questions in regards to my recently acquired 2019 Ram Rebel. I've dug through many of the threads pertaining to what I'm wanting to achieve, but none seem to address the answer I'm seeking exactly.
I purchased this Ram Rebel last week after purchasing a 2021 GMC Sierra new and having nothing but problems with the 10 speed transmission for months that GM screwed me around over. I've haven't had the bug to do any modifications like I'm about to this Rebel since I was a teenager.
This past weekend I sat down and dropped some coin on a few goodies. I ordered a set of Method 317 20x9 wheels with 0 offset. Tires are still up in the air, but I have a local source. I do plan to run 34"+ tires, though. I also ordered a pair of Bilstein 6112 coilovers already setup on setting 8 and a pair of 5160 rear shocks.
I've ordered the AWE 0FG exhaust with black tips as well.
My goal is to level the truck with just a slight lift, but still leave a slight rake biased to the rear. I see a lot of people have used this suspension setup and purchased the 2.5" Clayton Springs from the Jeep Gladiator. Clayton lists 2 different triple rate springs. However, I'm not sure which I should purchase and I can't seem to find anyone saying much about spring rates. I did find one thread where the OP seemed to have went with the non-HD spring rate. That's fine and dandy, but my truck has the Ramboxes. In my search of different suspensions available, I ran across Carli Suspensions. I read they had to source a stiffer spring for the Rebel with the Ramboxes to maintain correct lift or rake.
With Carli Suspension's findings, would the same follow with the Clayton springs? Would I want to run their 2.5" HD spring over their non-HD 2.5" spring?
It seems UCA's at the level I'm wanting is kinda up in the air if necessary. However, I'd rather play safe than sorry and only want to do this once. I find the Rough Country cast UCA's to be appealing to me in both price and design. Anyone experience anything negative about their control arms?
Not really suspension related, but do the 0 offset Method wheels push the outside edge of the wheel more towards the wheelwell edge?
Thanks everyone!
