Regular 2500 or PW

Similar to my daughters Jeep. She bought a 2016 Unlimited Sahara brand new but got the 3.21's. I told her to get the 3.73's but she argued she was changing them anyway. I told her that sticker on the door is what matters. The 3.2's are rated to tow 1500lbs (maybe 2000lbs, can't remember now). But the 3.73's are rated to 3000 or 3500. So she did the lift, tires and 4.88's but it's still only legal to what is on the door sticker even though it is more than the 3.73 equipped Jeep actually has

The 4th gen rebel to me was really just an appearance package. The 5th gen rebel does add in a rear locker. But yeahhhhhh i’d take a stock 2500 over a rebel and I bet the 2500 would walk around it. A 1500 will do work off-road but it requires more put into it than a 2500 does. There’s a few 1500 guys on here that have tricked out their truck and it’s very capable. But seriously a stock rebel vs a stock pw there’s videos on it and the pw is better if you’re really using it. I think he is jelly Sorry for long post. My coffee kicked in lol

I’m not sure about the spring-ride Rebels but at least with the air-ride Rebel’s anyways, the only thing really that they have over the other 1500’s is that they sit an inch taller.

Yeah, the 19 Rebs come standard with the locking rear diff but so does pretty much anything else in the 1500 with the off-road package. You can get just that by itself too.

One thing the air-ride Rebel(and even my pavement queen Limited) can do that the PW can’t, is gain another inch(two inches in my Limited) of ground clearance. Yeah yeah, I know, that’s hardly a drop in the bucket compared to the 12k winch, sway bar disconnects and front and rear lockers. Lol. Just saying that it’s not just an appearance package.

My point exactly.

But on another note; wouldn’t the air bags interfere with the truck’s extreme suspension articulation?

Not with the Daystar cradles from my understanding.

I wouldn’t think so. I just googled them because I’ve never heard of such a thing until now and supposedly those cradles let you use your air bags without physically mounting them to the axles.

the airbags mount frame side and float above the rear axle.
when you load up the truck, the truck will squat until the airbag sits in the axle mounted cradle providing support.

this could potentially lead to decreased up-travel, but has no interference with droop.

yes, clearly you should always abide by the law.

but, Know that it is a safe and effective way to carry and pull weight, say, around a ranch.

This is in no way a Macgyver setup.
