Post 17 Rebel Lemon ... Ordered 19 PW

[Flea]

So ...
The short version.
2017 Rebel - Returned after 2 years, eight months of dealership hell.
Ordered a PW in August and supposedly the truck is in transit at whatever location a 2500 gets outfitted as a PW (according to dealer) and is stuck waiting for a back ordered component.

I am stationed in Southern California and made the mistake of getting my last vehicle here. I will be picking my mythical truck up if it ever arrives, in Texas to avoid all the BS that is California.

The plan is to do all of the alterations I want to in Texas to avoid the hassle here.

Planning on keeping factory rims and adding Toyo 35/12.5/17 AT.
Not sure if spare this size will fit underneath?

Mx4 BakFlip tonneau.

True Dual cat back with 2 super 40 flowmasters and x-pipe for back pressure and equalize scavenging.
Dropped behind rear axle.

looking at CAI - K&N still has not produced a model for 19 and is looking for vehicles to prototype out here in Riverside ... which is interesting because you cant get one shipped here.

I have some westin thrasher steps new in the box, but am selling... interested in true sliders. Maple/White Knuckle?

kind of stuck in limbo on ordering anything until I get an official eta on truck though.

Thoughts and comments are welcome. Even the nasty opinionated ones.

AFe is building an intake but no eta. Sounds like it's going to be a while.

S&B got back to me about their intake. Its projected to be finished mid December and shipping end of dec. This company will be getting my money. I liked my Afe but not for AFe prices. S&b and Afe beat K&n.

I have had mopar, k&n, and airaid. S&B was also of interest, but they didn't have anything out yet. Hmmm. Looks like Im waiting anyway, so maybe I will look harder at them. I wonder of I can get it shipped to California without having to ship from out of state.

The 35” toyos will fit in the spare most likely. Not sure if anything changed much back there, but the ‘18 and back will fit one (might have to be aired down, though).

You cant go wrong with WK or Maple sliders... both are kickass.

Excuse my ignorance but why would you have an issue shipping an air intake to California?

Oh man, I hope nobody answers that question and you can keep your innocence. The answer has crushed many a gearhead’s spirit.

There are many things, specifically performance related that companies cannot or will not ship to CA. Many CAIs are prime examples. There are naturally ways around that, but it just adds to the cost. Half the companies are based here, too. Crazy. I dont have CA registered vehicles, so don’t know all the smog stuff here

Thank you. I was hoping to get a measurement under one, but cant find one on a lot out here anymore. Maybe someone on here has already measured .
Aired down would work for me though.
White Knuckle is not too far from here ... maybe they will let me do a pickup.

That would be a no brainer for me. Being able to pick them up and save shipping cost would be hard to pass up.

oops - autocorrect turned “oh man” into “I’m not a man”! Yikes. In any case, a poor attempt at humor I guess...

for another thread I took a picture of the exact measurement under my 19pw
36” will fit above the track bar if you stay stock width. If you go 12.5 then an air down 35” tire is the best you can do.

Welcome to the club!

sorry to hear you have to live in a blue state where you can not carry.

The Lone Star State can’t me beat!

yes a 35” aired down to 20 psi. will fit. Toyo 37” is coming to my house for Christmas.

Not needed on the 19. Already leveled.


Mx4 BakFlip tonneau.

I went with diamondback. HD cover for a HD truck!!


True Dual cat back with 2 super 40 flowmasters and x-pipe for back pressure and equalize scavenging.
Dropped behind rear axle.

I removed my muffler and it sounds perfect. Just unbolt it right after the resonator.

good luck finding much for the 19 just yet. The badges on the hood are in a hole so I thought about ram air using those two spots.

I have some westin thrasher steps new in the box, but am selling... interested in true sliders. Maple/White Knuckle?

Maple is a little thicker by design but if white knuckle is just the drive away it will save you $200 in shipping.

kind of stuck in limbo on ordering anything until I get an official eta on truck though.

The leveling kit is a bad idea. New springs and shocks are the right way to do it on the PW’s.

Hahaha. Didn't know of that was a confession or a feminist rant.

Wow!! Alright then!

Lol. Good stuff. Thanks for the laughs.

I have had a 1.5” leveling spacer on my wagon for over 3 years now. Absolutely no issues with it at all. Does it function as good as a set of thuren or carli springs and shocks... well hell no. But it did level my truck and continues to drive exactly like stock.

19 does not need it anyway. One of the changes in 2019 models.

Well, if you want a level truck you will. Whats the height difference between the front and back wheels wells on yours?
