Thought I’d post this here and see if I get any opinions from the Rebel guys:
I have a 2016 Rebel with air suspension. I’ve been wanting to lift with the BDS 4” kit. I live in IL (SW Chicago area suburbs). Quotes for kit and install from a few shops have come back at 3600-4200 based on the shop (that’s lift kit with the Fox rear shocks, install, alignment)
My truck is my daily driver. Don’t tow frequently at this point. My off roading is hunting land and some light wooded areas around deer hunting area. Otherwise wood and house projects are my uses.
What I’ve been considering more and more is front Level links to get about an 1” to 1.5” lift/level, then 3” body lift by performance accessories. That combo would net me 4 to 4.5 of increased height. Then with 35s closer to 5 or 5.5” of height increase over stock. I know I would loose tow hooks up front. And while this wouldn’t give me more suspension travel or much more ground clearance (about 3” less than actual lift kit) it may fit my needs and with a Price of those 400-500 all in the savings are significant....
