Rebel stock rear Bilsteins on a Laramie

[lawlavigne]

Had a set of the rear stock shocks off a Rebel, same year as my Laramie, given to me. Is this something I can just plug and play or will I have to swap some components to make it work?

Plug and play. I put some on my Big Horn and they went right in without a problem

Awesome that's good to know. How do they compare to stock? Probably unlikely but did it change the rear height at all?

I honestly can’t tell you if it changed the rear height at all because I didn’t measure before and after install. They ride great, I only had the original shocks on for about 1200 miles (mostly highway) so I can’t tell you if there’s a huge difference in ride quality but in my opinion they’re definitely a worthwhile upgrade. Sorry I couldn’t be of anymore help

Appreciate it. I only have 3900 miles on it and much highway as yourself so I may not be any help to myself lol either way I figure it's an upgrade whether little to big

Shocks will not change the ride height of the truck. The only thing that can change the height is the springs.

No change to ride height, but should be a nice upgrade in capability with the remote resis. I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on ride quality after install. If all comes down to valving for compression and rebound and I’m not sure many (if any) people here have insight to how it’ll change ride response.

Well I'll be throwing them on in a week or so. I'll give some insight
