The repair cost $125. Heat and metal shaping techniques were applied. You can see a bit of discoloration where the heat was applied, but no blistering of the powder coat. There is also some bare metal showing, which I could touch up. Since it's aluminum, it's not going to corrode in a harmful way. It's all on the inside, well out of sight.
Aluminum corrodes, especially if you live in an area where they salt the roads in winter.
I’ll post pictures. I’ve debated it for a long time. I hope it’s worth it!
Unless you are going to do a rear lift, I'd personally stick with clip #4 on the 5100s. Will give you a slight 1/2" rake. With the Zone Off-road UCAs I just installed, I have zero take now,(5100s on #4) and depending on angle, there is a slight nose high look to the truck, even though I have measured it to be perfectly level. When I had the 1/2" rake, it was barely noticeable, and never had a nose high look.Got new tires mounted today. Went with LT275/65R20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT’s. They fit great with no rub on my ‘19 with the Off-Road Group. Now I have to patiently wait for the Bilstein 5100 shocks I ordered to come in (ETA in March). I plan to install the Bilsteins at circlip #5 and replace the stock UCA’s with the Mopar UCA’s that come with the 2” lift kit. Will also use AlfaOBD to adjust tire circumference for the speedometer to read accordingly.
I’ll have to get some tomorrow, I’m glad the holes we wider because I needed it to make them work haha. I had to drill two holes in mine as I said because the bumper support brackets were different than the rebel. I’ll get some photos and elaborate more tomorrow.
The 5100 rear shocks don't change the ride height in the rear. This is mine on #4 with 275/65/20 tires before I changed the UCAs
You’ll like those Coopers! I ran them on my last truck.Got new tires mounted today. Went with LT275/65R20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT’s. They fit great with no rub on my ‘19 with the Off-Road Group.

Put a couple 4x4's under the jack stands or under the frame rail.
They look great, how is the clearance from the tire to the UCA?Got new tires mounted today. Went with LT275/65R20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT’s.

A very interesting side hustle! Do your clients run the gamut of demand, or are they primarily tourism based? While an RV is seen as primarily tourist based, anyone needing temporary housing would be a potential client. The portability and delivery are bonuses. That price per night is much more than for a motel / hotel, so I'm guessing there is some reason this option is still appealing.
