- Here we go everyone, these are my 5 reasons maybe not to lift your truck and 5 reasons to lift your trucks from my experience with the 2019 Ram Rebel. The lift from Rough Country on my Ram has been awesome so far and completely transformed the build on this truck and turned it into a head turner for sure.

Reason number 5 for lifting your truck: you have a much better view ahead of you while driving. If someone has to hit the breaks 2, 3 or 4 cars ahead, you'll know right away and can respond accordingly.
So true and you can see why traffic is stopped sometimes
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA hey hammer down would you be able to link the video where you install your power steps onto your rebel. I keep looking but can't find it.
@@em9214 guess not. 😆
Ya but our trucks are so big that they block everyone’s view around us so it’s a double edged sword.
Nice!
Here in the South= lots of wild animals on the road,especially deer 🦌,an average car the deer usually ends up in the cabin seating right next to you! So… that’s why we drive lifted trucks
I got the BDS 4 inch lift kit with the fox shocks upgrades in the rear on my 2020 ram limited. I went with 35 inch tires on 20 inch wheels and I can honestly say that the ride is better than it was when it was stock. A week after getting the lift kit installed I drove from Long Island New York to Houston Texas and back and I can tell you I thoroughly enjoyed driving every single mile. This truck is like a Mercedes-Benz with a pick up truck bed on it. Also, BDS will fight your dealer in court if they don’t cover your suspension warranty.
Man. I’m thinking about doing the bds on my truck
Gun138 How long did it take for the shop to install your BDS lift?
Not sure if you're comfortable sharing, but what was the total cost of all that. Looking for a similar setup
Can you provide a picture of your Ram. I have a 2020. I'm thinking of lifting it.
2 years later.. what’s your thoughts now? I just ordered 35s for my 2020 limited and was looking at the same lift. Thoughts?
No.5 reason is its easier to drain fluids without having to raise it up with lifts and ramps
To me? bieng able to see over everything else around you is quite an advantage! that would be my number 5, especially here in the north, snowstorms and piles of snow piled up high on the sides of the roads, I can see clearly over all of it!! OH!! and great truck. Thanks for all the info you provide, love your content!! 🙂
Awesome video and one of the best looking Ram Rebel's I've seen!! Lift
Got
Carli suspension with King 2.5” pro/reservoir shocks, 35” on 20x12.5 Proline wheels. Handles soooo much better. Truck looks smoking hot too. What you said was true. Good info.
Just got my 21 ram rebel… after 10 + years of leasing and owning German cars. Loving the truck life. Barely fits in my spot in downtown Denver.
Just got a 2019 rebel I love it thanks for advice
The feeling of having power while driving is amazing and for that the Reason #5 is To have the commanding view!!
subscribed bc your vids helped me with the exhaust and lift love the vids can’t wait to start doing the mods on my 5th gen💯
It’s tough for me to keep my trucks ride height stock 🤣. Can’t wait to see what’s coming soon on the channel!
Just finished installing a 3 1/2 Rough-country struts and control arms in front, 2 in spacers from Ready-Lift in rear. Did lift so I wont lose my front license plate and bracket on trails.
Lift… went 6” bds with coilovers , and limited edition method 305’s on 35’s. 21 Rebel that almost looks like yours. Similar stuff with red accents hense the wheel choice. Solid black interior… sadly still waiting to install wheels due to waiting on fox to finish coilovers… prob won’t be done and on till mid to late oct. good time to drive around mountains of colorado and Moab !
1-5 for me - off-road performance, and while I didn't go with the 6inch lift I went with BDS 2.5 coilovers lift with BDS upper CAs, and swapped out the rear CAs for Freedom Off-road uppers and lowers. Sitting on Method 704s wrapped in Pro Comp A/Ts 35s she rips.
Lift! Great video! Lots of great points!
Lifted, rough country 6" with 35 inch ridge grapplers. Rides excellent.
Love the videos! I went 6” BDS and 37” ridge grapplers and I would never go back I was so surprised it drives better than stock
What’s your mpg? I have 4” BDS lift with 35” Ridge Grapplers and absolutely love it. Definitely wouldn’t mind 37s though.
Trying to decide on 6 inch bds coil over or not, 5k vs 2k
Yea whats ur mpg now like 10 lol smh that novelty wears off really freaking fast!
Great video and great looking truck! Lift is great too. :)
Thinking about getting rc vertex 6in for my 21 bighorn. Had 7in vertex on 16 Silverado with 35s and they were amazing . I know you’re indecisive with sticking with 35s or going up to 37s. I was looking into 325/60r20 (35.4/12.8r20). You think that’s a happy medium? A bit wider but get that little extra height since 35s are actually 34.7ish and 37s about 36.7in
Lift. Thanks for the info and update
Love from Bucks County!! Love you, love your channel!
Much appreciated
I have a 2020 rebel very similar to yours (decals color and all) about to put the vertex lift on it. Watched your videos. Definitely excited to get the performance pluses. And the beefier look.
Keep that Hammerdown!
My 5th pro would have to be personification I love seeing how people alter their vehicle to make it their own like no one else’s on the road. I have a third GEN ram 1500 and I have never seen a truck that looks like mine and people ask me all the time when I’m at gas stations and tailgating at sporting events and concerts what is it that I’ve done etc. and I love it.
Love the truck and the channel!!!!!!!!
Appreciate it
Went n test drove a white 22 rebel yesterday its priced right think I'm goin to go buy it tomorrow
Ram1500 crewcab I put 3inch motofab leveling kit on 2inch back I love it ❤ all I need now some 33's
great looking truck
#5 Just because! works for me lol damn that truck looks sick love it
Beautiful truck… been looking at various vids as im considering a 3.5 on my Laramie.
3" air suspension lift...added 35's. Works great....perfect ride and great on the trails....ride at 2200 rpm. ...that usually cranks at 80mph on highways. But mpg went from 17 mpg to under 14....hurts a little
ouch! thats pretty horrible
I'm 2.5" leveled with Kings on my 5th gen. I didn't need a lift, just performance. Still fit my 35s 😀
Hey man is there a difference in your drive by putting 35s.. and I assume no rubbing?
@@evanram6608 35s are heavy so you lose MPG. The ride experience really depends on the tire you pick... obvioisly going with an A/T over M/T youll get less road noise and some slightly better mpg. I only rub when in reverse at full crank, otherwise no rub.
Well I can’t wait until my order of a 2022 ram 1500 big horn back country. It comes with a 1” stock lift, but I need to take it to the pine Barrons in nj to see if I bottom out anywhere. At this point, If I’m going to do anything, I’m going to do a “2 rough country strut.
Yes… in south Jersey, this humidity stucks ass. Needs to get into the fall.
Amen I’m done with the heat unless it’s boat time
When the lease is up i just might
Lifting too high effects stability. Enhanced wear on all suspension parts. Transmission works slightly harder. Effects towing capability and can cause squatting effect. I would do a two to three inch lift max.
Great video as always! Question. What is the best lift to get like 2” on my 2019 Ram with air ride suspension. I just put 33x12.50x22 rims and tires on it. I would probably be happy with the height it sits with the air ride all the way up on level 5. Problem is you can’t drive with it at that level. If I could get it to stay at that height I would be happy. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to read my comment and hopefully you can reply. Thank you!
Thank you fir watching, I’m not sure if you can override the air suspension to stay up with the z automotive tazer but might be worth looking into, I’m not a big fan of spacers cause of how it affects the angles of cv axles but a small spacer might not be too bad only running a 33
Looks like you were at Mr. car wash. If so how do you like it? Great vid.!
Lift! Can’t wait to see the unveil of the new truck
I can not do stock height. My 4th gen Ram 1500 was leveled, my 5th gen Ram 1500 had a 3 1/2 lift, and now my new baby a 2021 5th gen Ram 1500 is in the shop now getting a modest lift 😁. To each his or her own, I do see the bad in it, but the pros outweigh those completely in my opinion. 🤷🏿♂️
How's it holding up and have you had any issues with or related to the new lift? Might get this done soon, truck looks great. TIA
Mine had been great socks up the bumps great and handles awesome
Nothing better than a lifted truck
I wanna lift my 2022 Laramie, but I don’t want to void my warranty. Does ram sell an approved 6” lift kit?
Have you had any issues with tsc turning on when taking on ramp or off ramp or corner with a little speed. Traction stability control that can’t be turned off and is part of the ABS circuit. My ram is a 2021 bighorn with a 3.5 inch rough country lift with stock 20’s wrapped in 35x11.50’s and truck spazes out applying ABS when going around corners slightly faster than advised speeds. Ever had any issues or notice the tcs acting differently once lifted ? Thanks nice rig.
mine has been good
Dang I’m getting 21 highway and 17 city in my 19 ram. And yes it has a hemi
I would love to lift my truck but the problem is once I put a 6inch lift to it I won’t be able to park it inside the garage. My garage is kinda low maybe a 2 inch lift is max
Reason #5 driving over Tesla's!
I have a ram big horn. Looking at a 3.5" lift. But like the rig'(lift)
Hey, where did you buy the decals for the back end of your bed? can you provide a link and did you install yourself? Thanks
It’s on eBay the link kept changing so I didn’t post it but yes I installed it myself it’s a overlay for the factory one
I have a 2019 5th gen Laramie and I could consistently get 19 mpg hand calculated stock.
Now with a level and tires/wheels I get 16. 17 if I try really hard. 14 in the winter.
And I only have 9 wide rims and 285s. I was surprised I lost that much with a conservative setup
Lol yeah thirsty hemi
thats kinda what happens when you go from 39 pound tires to 80 pound tires
@@carl16760 I went from about 42 to 65 lbs but I just expected a 1-2 mpg loss max not 3mpg lost. Might as well go 4 inch lift and 35s with that loss
@@johnmorris77 remember spinning weight is 3 to 1.
@@johnmorris77 thats a 50% gain and spinning
🤔🤔My fuel mileage at 16.5 with 37’s on 6” lift. Bighorn. Maybe the e torque helps.
Lift!!! How's the Hemi been performing, any problems so far?
It’s been awesome so far regular oil changes good fuel runs great
i never got rims and tire for under 4k and that was the best price i found
#5 the compliment/ being a neck breaker! Haha. What exhaust do you have?
Lol yup AWE exhaust
Can you list your wheels, tires, lift kit, running boards links?
I’ll make a popular mods vid and link everything I can
Why am I getting the same mpg as you and I don't have that size tires...
Another vote for not needing Jack's and ramps to service
Would it be worth doing a "rebel mod" with my 21 bighorn or save for new?
Not sure what mod you want to do
You mentioned a Denali…. I’m between getting a limited or Laramie GT, or a Yukon Denali.
Thoughts?
I would probably not buy another Denali
Have you put your truck on any type on incline at an angle? I parked my Rebel with 6" BDS 20" Fuels and 35 Ridge graps along the road with a 3 foot incline. When I started to hit the small hill at an angle, my drive shaft hit my gas tank skid plate. I have yet to find someone else that has had this happen too
Oh... Reason five, is to be different than the other Rebels in town.
I have had others say the BDS kit had that happen my mine has not yet had any issue there but I will report if it does
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA no kidding!? Wonder why the BDS would and not others. I went out to Colorado a few weeks ago. Let's just say I'm glad I rented a jeep instead of trying to put my truck to the test. Sort of crazy, got this bad ass truck and can't put it on an incline. 🙄 of course, first thing the wife says, " you spent how much this truck and you can't go up that little hill " 🤔
@@ddtrimdan7075 lol yeah its a easy trim of the skid plate and you will be good to go
I’m with you brother no black trucks for me either.👍🏻thanks for hitting the horn😆👏🏻🇨🇦
Hahaha had to
What’s wrong with black trucks
How much did you spend on your lift kit and suspension if you Don’t mind me asking?
I think its around 3500
„Live the lifted life!“-)
Do you guys have any issues with stones hitting your windshields on the highway with a lifted truck?
Nope
Lifted Life
Was that beach clip IBSP?
increased value? what does it do to the resale value?
should increase since it is way better now
wouldnt the 6" lift be actually 4" since you take of the factory lift that it comes with which is 2"
I can't remember the exact height from stock to now but the kit is the 6 inch it replaces all the suspension from the original stuff minus a couple components
It’s 1” from factory, so 5” over all
@@lpwbeasty oh crap im over here thinking rebel is 2" lifted from factory lol, nice thank you
"HammerDown"👍😄❗
I want to know how I can acquire the same horn😂🙏🏻
I have a link in the description
Lift - yep watched the whole thing
Appreciate it 👊
You were talking about problems in the truck....64200 miles and have the Hemi knock. Don't care what they say, it is crappy rollers on the lifters. Guess they will never fix that problem.
Pour some seafoam In your oil and drive for 15 min before your oil change will get rid of that hemi knock, more frequent oil changes And make sure you check your oil, i think its the owner responsibility you are presumed to understand
wish someone would of told that the stock gears needed to be changed with a 6 in lift on 35 in tires on 2020 ram 4x4 so i wouldn't loose so many MPGs
I have 392 gears it does 14mpg on the highway
My 5th gen has 3.21s and gets 16.5 with a level and tires/wheels
16.5 average hand calculated that is
Lifted!!
what rims and tires do you have on your truck?
RBP spike
Very nice. I myself have been looking at fuel assault rims but I am looking at borla atak exhaust and a cold air intake first
@@alowande25 Borla Atak for the win!!
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance I been hooked in it since watching videos...haven't bought it yet cuz I was waiting this month as a bday gift to myself but waiting for truck to come back from body shop
Lift!!!❤️
Lift!!! 👍👍👍
What gears are you running?
392
LIFT!!
what is your exhaust
AwE
LIFT!!!!
Lifted
I’m glad l bought a 2022 Power Wagon, Don’t need a Lift.. 👍
Nope it comes with one I do like those rigs very cool
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA Thanks, Very Nice Rebel and Jeep BTW…👍
@@bruiser0159 thank you
As soon as you said rough country I realized why you're not completely happy
👍
Lift!!
Lift😎👍
I’d lift mine. I own a newer power wagon and with all the power wagon parts, makes it a b*tch. Carli or thuren is basically what I’m looking at….
Your pros are cool but your cons make you sound weak. Don't dog your blessing out. Enjoy your blessing, and you won't have problems
Lift buddy
L I F T
If you had bought a BDS lift kit you wouldn’t have to worry about your warranty
I don’t have to worry about warranty with this kit either
LIFT
Lift
LIFT? Visibility! And driving over Civics!
And teslas
#5 ,, cause the chicks dig it.... Duh.. lmao
Idk , lifted 1500s are pointless too much for the trucks ability, 4.5 inch would be the limit.
I tow off-road and daily it 6 inch is perfect IMO
Lift.
Lift ~ Another con. If you live near a city, forget parking garages.
Yeah they are out my shark fin touched when it was stock on the plastic height thing
lift
Safer lifted if you hit an animal like a moose
I can vouch for that I ram over a dead one at highway speed with my lifted Gmc only cost me an upper control arm al small repair on the rear end
