What filter nipple is on your relocation kit,if it's the older 3/4-16 nipple you have alot more options for bigger filters compared to the later 22mm X 1.5 nipple
There is an oil filter thread you can check out.
Just to clarify, I know this is an old post, but a 20-500 does NOT fit in a 4x4 truck. My rebel I had to use a gentle persuader to get the filter out, as it jammed between the bottom of the thread and the top of the front transfer case. At least on an '18 rebel.
It should fit the earlier 4X4's that don't use the oil heater/cooler. The adapter used for the oil heater shortens up the filter that can be used,get rid of it,and odds are you'll be able to use the bigger filter.It's just another thing that can leak,and if the earlier 5.7's didn't need it,the later ones probably don't either

It's not, but you do what you want on your ride.
Once you shut the engine down it will have the same amount of oil no matter what size filter you have. While I'm not disagreeing with you about the factory sized filter, a larger filter increases the total capacity, meaning you can add more oil to your system. Which the engine would be able to take advantage while running, when it's important to have the oil in the engine. Having a larger filter does not affect how much oil is "in the engine" while it's running.
Fits my 2016 and I have that filter on my truck right now, but I am sure some trucks are different like Wildone said
I see that it "fits" to my truck, but I don't remember seeing that part on my truck, mostly based on the size of the nipple. The filter nipple on my ram is LONG AF, and that link doesn't seem the same. I also don't think the "gasket plate" on my rebel matches that design. It looks more like the pick in the assembly drawing, that to me looks like I do not have the cooler.It should fit the earlier 4X4's that don't use the oil heater/cooler.

If you mean the 820, that answers my question, as I know the 820 isn't as tall as the 500, and the 500 "almost" fit vertically, I was worried about the larger diameter of the 820. (it's only about a half inch, but... https://filters.royalpurple.com/single-part-result/?clientID=ROYAL876WEB&partnumber=10-48, https://filters.royalpurple.com/single-part-result/?clientID=ROYAL876WEB&partnumber=20-820, https://filters.royalpurple.com/single-part-result/?clientID=ROYAL876WEB&partnumber=20-500)
Go look closer at your truck,maybe the Rebels don't have the oil heater,but i'd lay odds they do.I might be wrong as i've never crawled under a Rebel,but i'd be surprised if they didn't have the heater.It'll have 2 smaller coolant lines feeding it,if it does have the heater
Both the 20-820 and the 20-500 fit my truck. I have a 20-500 on my truck now. For my truck the 20-500 is actually easier to install but I don't have that oil cooler like Wild One was talking about.
I can see if you don't have the heater/cooler thing the 500 being easier to install.
If I didn't say it, I meant to, I didn't know the widget existed, so didn't know to look, and also, really Dodge??? Does heating the oil up a little faster (potentially) really help THAT much?
It's just another gadget to leak,and if it ever develops a coolant leak into the oil,it'll cause you big issues in a hurry.It's easy enough to get rid of it,pick up a filter nipple for a truck prior to 2016,spin the cooler off,plug the coolant hoses,or loop them together,and you'll be able to run the bigger filters that the older 4X4's do.If you pick up a thermostat housing for an earlier truck,you can even tidy up the hoses under the hood.
