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.
@@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.
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.
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
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!! 🙂
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.
@@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.
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 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.
I'm just going for a 2" level on my 2021 ram 1500 4x4 offroad. Will get me to a total of 3" lift in front and 1" in back. High enough for me to fit 295/65R20's with no issues. Came with the low profile 275/55R20's I already bent a rim with those. I need the extra 1.5" sidewall.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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. 🤷🏿♂️
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA no kidding!? Wonder why the BDS would and not others. I went out to Colorado a few weeks ago.

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?
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
No.5 reason is its easier to drain fluids without having to raise it up with lifts and ramps
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.
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!

The feeling of having power while driving is amazing and for that the Reason #5 is To have the commanding view!!
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.
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?

Can you list your wheels, tires, lift kit, running boards links?

wouldnt the 6" lift be actually 4" since you take of the factory lift that it comes with which is 2"

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
