Rebel Bilstein Shocks on Bighorn
- Thread starter deanfx
- Start date
Yes it would. I have a Laramie and installed Rebel rear shocks. Be advised my Laramie has the ORG as well. The ORG shocks where also a little bit longer than the Bilstein but still works fine. As far as telling a difference between ORG shocks vs Rebel..... hmmmm nope.
Also note that the Rebel shocks where a little bit harder to push down by hand vs the ORG shocks.

Interesting... I have a 2019 Laramie Crew Cab as well.. regular, non ORG or non off road package...
Looking for cheaper alternative than the mopar fox shocks and considering Bilstien has yet to release 5100 series.
Questions:
1. the 68313613AC rebel rear shocks will fit. Will I also need the ORG rear coil springs?
2. What about the front shocks, any part number? Like to have the same 1"+ inch as the rebel has.
I do not want to use spacer/level kit. Rather do suspension so the geometry is correct. Wanting to be able to install 295/60r20's and not rub.

Rebel rear shocks will fit any Ram Configuation You don’t need the springs. It is a direct swap out. Now the fronts is a different situation. I been looking and looking and no one has the front Rebel shocks for sale. Also on ram part stores shows the shock/struts are not available. I don’t have the part number any more for the fro ts since the ones I did have just comes up with nothing.

nice! Do you have a picture of the trucks stance as it stands? Would think it would have more forward rake with those rear shocks? as I believe those rebel shocks add 1"+ lift....

maybe someone at dealer can get up under a Ram Rebel and pull part number off the front suspension.
Funny how bilstien manufactured these custom spec for the Rebel, but are delaying releasing their 5100 series for aftermarket........

The shocks do not add any lift. Ride height is determined only by the springs in the rear.

hopeful someone can get us some P/N's off a Rebel front suspension and dealer can match up.
I believe rebel sits 1"+ higher than our stock 1500's. Otherwise, we pay full price for Mopar 2" lift. But its a nice kit....
I'm torn..... To do the rebel bilstien rear shocks, and then do the ready lift 2" Lift (with UCA's). Or go full kit....... Or to put the entire Ram rebel suspension on my laramie sport.

Yup the shocks do not add lift. All in the springs.
The Rebel and Rams with the off road group has a 1” lift from the factory.
the rear shocks off eBay aren’t the bad in price One on there going for 135 something. Brand new for the shocks are going for 250 something.

Just purchased rears for $149 shipped from ebay for my Bighorn. I have 3.5" Readylift with Stock shocks. Will see how these ride as the rear needed it most.

Awesome, Let us know! I'm sure it'll be more planted as well as better ride.
