    thing I noticed, is when putting the strut back in (with 2" spacer), it was crazy tight to the point I needed just a little bit more, then a little bit more. so I loosened the 36mm Axle Nut to where it was still threaded on the axle, but only by a few threads. that gave me that extra bit to get the lower control arm to give me an extra inch downwards.

    • @WaterFowler41
      @WaterFowler41  4 года назад

      Yup, it’s a tight fit with 2” spacers. I can’t imagine doing this with a 2.5 or 3” kit. Good call on loosening the wheel nut!

    Just bought a 21 rebel and there was one 1” difference between front and back. To put the 2” lift in the front I had to put a 1 1/2” spacer in the back so the front wasn’t higher.

    So this may be a dumb question, but could you pair this MOTOFAB leveling kit with Bilstein 6100 up front and 5160 shocks on the rear?

    • @WaterFowler41
      @WaterFowler41  3 года назад

      Assuming you’re talking about a Rebel or a Ram with ORP springs i wouldn’t add Bilsteins and the Motofab kit. If you want more lift than what the 6112’s will do then you’re looking at a full lift kit. The spacers cause too many down travel issues.

    does the rebel have the 1 inch lift from the factory off rd package?

    • @WaterFowler41
      @WaterFowler41  3 года назад

      The Rebel has 1” lift compared to the normal Rams. It’s the same height as the Rams with the Off road package. Only difference between the ORP and the Rebel is the Rebel also comes with bilstein 4600’s.

    • @XB0XM4N420
      @XB0XM4N420 3 года назад +1

      Does the one inch lift on the rebel affect the level making it 3.5 front in total, my shop is recommending upper control arms because most 3.5 " levels recommend them. Or is the factory upper control arm fine with this kit

    • @WaterFowler41
      @WaterFowler41  3 года назад +1

      Correct 1” plus the 2” leveling kit makes this a 3” kit compared to a basic Ram. Considering our Rebels have the same UCAs and the basic Rams it’s definitely worth replacing them with newer ones to accommodate the new angles
