Andre: Do we need to put on gloves?
Mechanic: Hold my beer
That young man looks like a dam good worker
only if all were like him
I agree he gets the job done
Anybody else gonna comment on how good that tech is??? He’s also personable and knowledgeable. 👍👍👍
what do you torque those nuts to? mechanic: yes
Three ugga duggas.
@@hochhaul One ugga-dugga was about 110nm (80 lb ft?) in my former life... Yes, depends of equipment...
When the impact stops turning plus 10 seconds
Grant Z Price it's called the German torque spec: Good-n-tite
LOL I was just headed down here to mention something about this and you beat me to it. I cringed every time he was putting a bolt or nut on with the impact.
The best of watching this is your excitement for the Rebel Rouser build. Your like a kid on Christmas or his birthday Andre!
Congratulations guys, you made a stock Rebel look like a stock Rebel aside from the ridiculously bad looking light bar. Sorry but it’s true!!
- whoami - exactly what I’m talking about. Did you not read my comment. Why change the rims? They’re not much different, just lift it and put 35s on it and save the $ for the rims.
You miss the point of the series. Its supposed to look stock using as many Mopar parts.
jumex34 exactly what I’m saying! If you wanna keep it looking stock, save the $ for the rims and keep the stock rims. Just change the tires. The reason to change rims is for a dramatic change not to look similar to the stock in my opinion.
@@wrayzor97 blah blah blah
Yeah I would have at least went with a 4-inch BDS Lift.
Finally a video that shows the Rebel's rear shocks and how to remove them. I know it's easy but still nice to see it. Putting Rebel stock shocks on my Laramie with the off road package just because I can. Probably wont notice any difference but oh well.
No difference, not sure why you would do that.
I've been wanting to buy a truck and mod it to be like a raptor, but the more videos like this I see the more I think the raptor is more worth it.
Yea, factory warranty and way more power to.
FishFind3000 And sounds like a lawn mower.
Yep, better suspension without a Doubt. It would cost $7-8k to match the raptor suspension.
If only ram put the 6.4 in the 1/2 ton. It would be worth it for sure. But ford damn I’ll say there transmissions in those raptors go quicker then the time spent buying a raptor or any car.
Ryndan Riley buy a first gen, you won’t regret it
Awesome mods on the truck Andre. Looking forward to seeing how the truck does on the trails. Thanks for sharing.
Funny how he just uses the impact on the strut nut after the directions specifically say do not do that lol
"send it home with an impact"
If you know what you're doing it's fine...they just don't want you to "send it home"
@@rcguymike yeah my teacher is one of those guys that can get it pretty close to torque specs.
@@lippixit your boyfriend
Not real crazy about the truck but i love how pumped andre is. Like a big kid haha. If he likes it, good for him😉👍
A Ram with a 5.7 and a leveling kit is not a Raptor competitor.
Source: I own a Ram with a 5.7 and a leveling kit. lol
Looks just as good tho
@@VMAFIA - not even close. The Raptor has much wider, pre-runner style, fenders. This is simply a lifted Ram. Not the same thing.
I'm not a huge fan of that new 5th gen Tundra styling either.
ledzeppelin27 more than a level kit that you would spend $150. They actually upgraded the shocks as well. That’s a big deal for a good shock
@Andrew Smith HAHAHA! Man, that's a good one
That is one SWEET truck....It looks really well done! Love the enthusiasm too!
As an employee of TOYO, gotta love those Open Country!
OH MAN!!! Great video guys. I’ve been waiting for someone to make this video. I’m waiting for my company vehicle allowance so I can get a Rebel and do this. Thanks team.
I'm so jealous of that monster of a truck it's amazing
If you want to compete with a raptor you’ll need a lot more than just a leveling kit, Baja long travel kit and fiberglass fenders would kinda be a better choice
The Raptor only has a mid level kit on it alot of people think it has long travel. They only have 12 to 13 in of travel that isnt long travel and yes I agree this rebel still will not compete with the raptor. Those shocks they put on are better but they wont hold up
Those tires look like more street then off road
The mpg for this truck was not that good before you started all these mods. I am curious about how much worse it will be after
Round 12.5 to 13 realistically. That's what I got on my 2015 when I went to 35"s. (8spd) But I went true 35x12.5r17
@@noidontthinksolol I believe it. I got good mpg when I was on stock tires 265/65/17 (I think) +mds 👍
Really depends on gear ratio. My 19 Ram 1500 crew cab 5.7 w/3.92 gets 12/13 city 16/17 hwy and it's completely stock.
@@noidontthinksolol unless you hand calculate your mileage it's not right. The evic is an estimate and is usually too generous on gas vehicles
MPG is a concern for people who actually use their trucks. A decrease in MPG is an increase in operating costs. But I guess that's all well and good if your truck is just a glorified minivan.
This guy makes the work look so easy. Great job.
Sick build! Can’t wait to see how much it can do.
Looks good.
looking forward to how well these new shocks work!
This series has been awesome to keep up with!
You guys should do some hub or lug-centeic spacers on the wheels, half an inch would make a difference on the stance of the truck. It might be some work having to roll the back fenders so that the tires do not scrape when theyre tucked but its worth it in my opinion. Enjoy the truck, it looks good!
Totally impressed with that shop and tech. Rebel is looking good....thanks for replacing those white lettered wrangler tires 👍
Raptor will always look better!
I guess you haven't seen a rebel TRX yet
Looks great with the leveling kit. That's next up for mine.
Leveling kit.... cmon
whhitestallion puts on a leveling kit. That’s code for its now on the raptor level
I saw lift , got pumped someone got a lift for a rebel , saw it is a level kit , moved on.
Looks great leveled and with bigger tires. I am going to compare your numbers with my leveled GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 4x4 on 33". Looking forward to seeing it offroad.
I love the falcon shock setup. Its plush like a raptor but its definitley not as much travel.
I like how the mechanic explained what he was doing while he worked
So what is the approach angle gain? Ram ditched the Toyo ATII for 2019 but TFL truck says what do you know Ram. I am sure ram didn’t get rid of that tire because owner were complaining about lack of traction in wet and icy conditions. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ good thing none of those conditions exist in Colorado
Great video guys! Enjoyed this one
Did the bolts that secures the stone shields for the shocks have Loctight 242/243(removable strangth put on them so they will not vibrate out or something functionally simular). Also are thier any other bolts that needs a thead locker of some sort added?
Keep up the videos! I hope these go into production for a reasonable price, would love to upgrade my 2019 North edition ram. But also been thinking about tracking down the stock rebel Bilsteins if you guys at tfl want to get rid of them
Looks great, very cool upgrades.
That technician... man he's awesome!
11:19 To 11:24 Falcon Bump Stop Is That When Roman Mica Is Racing The 2019 Flame Red Ram 1500 5.7L V8 4WD Crew Cab Short Bed Rebel At 100 Miles Per Hour Fyling!!!!
Im definitely interested in seeing a new fins n things run, with side by side footage of before and after the lift.
Also new mpg now that its lifted.
Two big differences between each truck one can go 100mph on dirt and over bumps like nothing (ford) while the other doesn’t turn on after being parked for too long (fiat)
Scotty Kilmer agrees.
NascarFan24 1992-present can’t go wrong with watching Scotty Kilmer videos
If you want a Rebel to look and perform like a Raptor then why not just buy a Raptor? This coming from a Ram Rebel owner.
Full Blast whack
Looks amazing!! Andrè is like a kid In a candy store lmao. I love it!!!
This is exactly what I want for my 2022 ram rebel
Sure wish I got same results; my 2020 Rebel only netted about an inch of front lift which is about half of what Falcon advertises and not near what FLT was able to get. Still waiting to hear back from Falcon so hopefully have something good to report.
Rebel looks sweet. Curious to see how toyos do, just ordered same tires for my truck. Would be Interested in an ike gauntlet run after lifted to see if it affects your towring
If you enjoy a truck that does a mean impression of a Flathead Catfish.
This is your truck for sure.
Exactly truck looking good and mean
Looking good guys. That will definitely be one of my next upgrade for my Ram Rebel. Question why did you guys not use the Mopar factory leveling kit and the 2 inch lift kit built specifically for this truck?
Pretty sure because falcon sponsored the video, so no cost
The Mopar leveling kit is a spacer lift which will eat ball joints rapidly.
Lower the tire pressure to get a better RTI(test at 15 psi, 30 psi, 45 psi).
3:05 wow those upper control arms are adorable. Like a little wish bone out of a small Turkey. The ones on my tundra dwarf those. Same story with the lowers. That's funny.
Unfortunately when your Tundra frame rusts through, you won't have anything for those sweet control arms to mount to 🤣
@@krashnpa that's not an issue for late model trucks. Mine is over three years old with literally not a spec of rust. My friends one year old chevy 2500 though has an alarming amount of rust for a year old yikes
With the factory adjustable “air suspension” on the ram, when u put a lift on it. Does it automatically disable the “air suspension?” Or can u still use it, even tho u have a lift kit on? 🤔
I got a 3.5 inch ReadyLift kit with 35 inch Mickey Thompson tires on my 2019 Rebel. You guys should have done a 3.5inch lift kit
This looks amazing!!
Andres role in this build is pretty much my dream job.
Good job on the toe. He knows what he’s doing. I can’t say enough about my guys at Dobbs in Edwardsville Illinois. They are problem solvers.
Even the dealer couldn’t figure it out from Kia in O’Fallon Illinois Offenburg Kia to be exact.
Andre are you going to give this truck to the tuner guys to make it go faster and recalibrate the speedometer?
What is the overall cost of transformation of the rouser?
Look at the size if the shaft!
Yes!
The Raptor is in a class by itself but I've always thought the Rebel was the best looking of the rest and this build makes it better. Minus the sport bar.
The mechanic doesn't seem to know what the impact wrench will do, the way he 'tickles' the trigger proves this. He also does the same with the air saw.
So, what about speedometer calibration, and transmission shift points due to larger tires, will they both 'self calibrate'?
Probably would have been a good idea to loosen the UCA’s and LCA’s bolts (easier install and the bushings wont tear over time) and then once the weight of the truck is on the suspension tighten all the bolts down. Then obviously an alignment
Your ready for the Rubicon trail take the Rebel the VDub and the JLUR aka the “Vacum”🤠
Yeah free shock upgrade!... my $ & ⌚it would be 3-4" or 6" lift depending on what the driveshafts can handle
Super cool truck y'all good job
Can't remember when the last time someone was excited about the size of my shaft
Dang it! You guys had my hopes up when I read "lift kit". I thought it would be a true suspension lift of at least 4 inches. Should have installed a larger rear block so it doesn't look like a dog going poop.
Listen to all that work that those knuckleheads are doing!
I have a 3.5" readylift on my Ram Rebel (had to remove the preloaded spacer) lost 2" of front lift from that - will this suspension system, help me gain the 2" of front lift back?
One of my favourite part of the day is when I see the TFL notification on my phone, great job guys!
Have you towed with it yet? I have a 5,500 lb travel trailer and I am looking to beef up the back a bit with these shocks and level it would be nice. Have you had any issues with the ball joints? I have seen kits to level or lift that have the option for upper control arms.
RTI is very imprecise, CTI (corner travel index) is much more accurate, repeatable, safer, instead of one tall ramp you use two short ramps or two hydraulic lift tables.
Consider that if you have a standard size garage door,. It will not clear ,. My stock rebel barely has 1 inch of clearance , love my truck the way it is,. But i dont plan on off roading it much
For day-to-day use I think the factory Bilstein suspension would be more than adequate 👍
Looks a lot better for sure
Looking good. When does the blower get installed? If you want to run with the Raptors you need more power.
You guys should check out the Cooper Discoverer tires next time! Either the ST Maxx (what I use) or the STT Pro (step up from mine). They are fantastic!
I have some ST maxxes and they are great! I am sure they just put the toyos on because they got sponsored
If I wanted to add the Air Intake you guys added, can I just ask the Mopar shop? I don't see it yet on the web site.
First! Love my new Rebel. I went with Borla S type Exhaust System. Sounds vicious. Love watching your videos to give me ideas on what mods to go with. Cant wait to take my truck on the trails.
How loud is your exhaust? The stock exhaust is too quiet but I don't want something that will make the neighbors hate me when I start the truck every morning. I'm alway the first out of the house and one of the first to leave the neighborhood every morning.
@@evo1videoDepends how close your neighbors are. initally loud on cold starts but will level off at idle. S type has very little drone at cruising speed 65 to 70 mph. If I had to do it again I think I'd go with the Borla Touring bc I'm in an apartment complex. But the S type sounds so good when merging onto a freeway or over taking slower traffic.
@@jumex34 they are pretty close tract home aka cookie cutter type houses.
@@evo1video I'd go with the Touring
Dude seems like he is a top mechanic
You need to take the sway bars off especially the front and you will get more out of it because it will allow the front end to act independently per its design. All us desert guys take sway bars off first thing when you start messing with suspension and travel.
Excellent, so you buy an expensive off-road truck, take all the off-road parts out and replace them with better after market ones. Great, but will you do that if it was your own money ?
Right??? Why not buy stock and then build it?
This looks great.
Anyone know where to buy that Ram Bar? Mopars website has it but says it only fits the heavy duty 2500 and 3500. I want it for my 2019 1500 Rebel.
Love the Toyo AT II
Andre, now we want you to go head to head vs a Raptor, crawling and desert running.
are these falcons released and have part number so I can look them up? I'm trying to lift my 2020 Rebel and would like to check this out. Thanks for the help.
I think the wrong video was posted for the title, because I did not see the the Rebel that looks better than a Raptor they are referring too🤔
Let us know the ride quality of these toyo's vs the duratracs. Highway and trail. Thx
I was going to buy a set of Toyo tires for my truck, my friend advised against them, he said Toyo tires are costly and they do not last as long for their price. He did recommend Cooper tires and BFGoodrich tires. So, is he right?
Y'all should do give aways or something, got things like custom offsets offering complete truck builds as give aways
They quit using toyo tires this year they use to use on previous rebels so I would recommend that you gone nitto or falken
Those shocks remind me of moutain bike shocks. Lock, simi open and fully opened
Hey fellas, just wondering what part number is this. I got one for my truck and the rear shock is even with the stock. You compared yours to the stock bilstein and it's longer. Maybe I ordered a wrong part.
Cool truck. Feel like the rebel needs a 4 in lift, 37s, and remove the rack and stuff to match up in appearance at least with the raptor.
So will you describe how you will handle the difference in the speedometer readings? How many MPH more or less? Are you going to re-calibrate?
Walter Williams he probably had it done off camera its a very simple procedure
Jose Coreas idk I doubt they did it
FishFind3000 yeah I agree a lot of people don’t
This is what I was going to ask. I have my first RAM and was wondering what is being done to compensate the speedo.
On my lifted F350 my edge cts gives me corrected MPH
Hey Guys! Now do a fuel economy test, to see if you've gained or lost mpg. Those Duratracs are tough on MPG. Don't forget to calculate your tire size difference, or get your speedo really calibrated 😉
Add all this + the cost of the Ram & your way over the price of a Raptor. Also does any of the mods violate the factory warranty ? Love the Channel Guys.
Let's talk about that full size 4x4 red van.... After the new RTI score
Anyone know the part number for those wheels?
I like the dura tracks a lot more .. they come in 35s too
Sick, turned a Rebel into a Rebel
When they change the black/red interior I'll consider a rebel but time is running out.
I agree looks like seat covers
how much did all that customization cost total?
