I have a Rebel as well. You still need 3 3/4" front links to make it work. It was super easy to install. The spacer has a hole in the middle so the air line can connect and everything else is just like a non-air Ram. The ride is better than stock and I gained 3/4" of an inch up front when compared to just using new front links. I don't remember stock heights but with my 35s I'm now sitting at 40" all around in normal mode.

Great - thanks for clarifying! I'm definitely planning to do this... I have the adjustable links ready to go, so I just need the Daystar spacer kit.

By the way I assume you didn't need to trim back the strut bolts to screw the spacer extension bolts all the way down, correct?

Perfect stance! I was gonna do 20x10 and 35s because I didn’t think 12s would work but you just changed my mind! I also have bils at 2.8 and a 1” rear spacer

Swapped out my Lone Star grill inserts (first picture) for the Laramie Longhorn/Limited (at least I think that’s the trim level that has these) grill inserts (last two pictures). [emoji2] They’re Mopar part number 82213606.

Horizontal bras are for SLT trim and braided looking (?) they usually use on lone star I think, at least that’s what they had at dealership when I was buying mine and was walking through the parking lot

My truck is a Lone Star. The first picture is the grill that came on my truck (horizontal bars). The wire mesh is what I changed to. I know it was on the Laramie Limited and Laramie Longhorn trim levels, maybe more.

Now you need a actual lone star emblem and it will be complete :)

Sorry for being a pain. Where and what did you attach the remote filter to? Any other lessons learned? Thanks.

The frame rail on the right side next to the vertical bumper and tow hook mount. I drilled and tapped the holes in the frame and the relocation mount for more stability.

Lessons learned:

1. Make sure you have all the right tools (tap/die set, AN wrench(es), braided line cutter, etc)
2. In goes to out, out goes to in
3. Measure 80 times, then 3 more, then cut the braided line (luckily I had 10 feet)
4. Use better AN fittings (Vibrant/Fragola $18 each) than the cheapo EBay ($8) fittings
5. Use ARP thread locker or equivalent (oil/fuel resistant) not Teflon tape (it disintegrated)
6. Don’t mount the filter relocation bracket too high on the frame or it’ll get real snug with your 90* fittings close to the fan shroud
7. Be prepared to have to fix a leak (easiest way of prevention is higher quality fittings and thread locker)
8. Hand tighten the filter snug, too tight and it’s a ***** to get off
9. If you need to remove the oil filter make sure you have a good wrench (see #1)
10. Assemble your braided lines and 90* fittings on your workbench, not the truck: it’s a pain in the **** and you’ll have a leak
12. Assemble your -10 AN to 1/2 NPT fittings to the oil filter adapter (engine) and oil filter relocation bracket (frame) on the workbench, retighten once installed on engine and frame (it’s a 22mm)
13. Take your time and know you can now change your oil filter without a huge mess.

That’s all I got.

As you can see in the pic:
Too high on frame (almost touching fan shroud), Teflon tape and cheap 90* fittings

Took it to the dealer, had them repair/replace tailgate module. All under warranty. Now when the locks auto-engage no more Wham! The sound of the tailgate dropping.
