There is no difference between the rebel and the other trims in regards to the lift. My understanding is the rebel sits 1 inch higher in the front than some other trims.

The Rebel 1500 has a 1” factory lift, but I’m pretty sure the 2500 version is the same height as a standard 2500.

I’m not sure. The ram specs show the rebel as being .7” higher. I parked next to one in my bighorn the other night and it certainly sat a smidge higher.

My truck does not have the off road group, so that could be the difference.

I have the Rebel 2500 CTD and believe it's 1" over standard ram trucks. So far I havent found a leveling kit and have been told it's to new. :(

Seems everything I read says a PW front suspension is 2" over Big Horn, Laramie etc and the Rebel has PW front suspension. Don't know how true this is. I researched my front spring part numbers and see websites saying they fit Big Horn, Laramie, Power Wagon etc. Lol. Not confusing at all. :rolleyes: I don't want to buy a 2" leveling kit only to have the truck sitting too tall in front. I'm just looking to get a better pavement ride.

The Rebel suspension is the same height as the other non-PW trucks.

The rebel does NOT have the same suspension as the real Power Wagons. Same shocks, maybe. Not the same springs, not the same radius arms, and not the same sway

I stumbled across this comparison between a '24 Rebel (Hemi) and '24 PW. Although it was looking at a Hemi Rebel, I thought it was a little interesting

I just got a 2024 Rebel 2500 diesel and did the 2” leveling kit at 4wp
I have a question, what new shocks will i get?
Right now kit came with shock brackets, but I want to remove those.
So the Bilstein 2 - 2.5 inch lift will fit
Or this suspension is different from regular 2500 diesel and will need the 4 inch lift ones

Check out the Metal Cloak lifts for the Ram diesels. They have a 3.5 and a 4.5 inch lift with or without a articulink type arm. They have dual rate coils for a better ride and the best thing is that they are 30% off during the month of May.

The Rebel and non-Rebel are the same, so 2” lift shocks should work.

My understanding is that the Rebel is basically a PW for people that want payload and towing capacity. They are the same height, but the rebel has stiffer suspension for towing and payload and the PW has softer suspension for off road. Google says they both have an overall height of 80.9". I just bought Rebel for towing, and I think one way we can put this to bed is I'll be happy to measure from the ground to the bottom of the fenders, and if someone on here with a stock PW can do the same, we'll know for sure. But having seen both at the dealer, I'm pretty certain they are the same height.

It looks like my rebel is 25.5" center of wheel front and back. The front wheels were turned a bit though so that could be off. I don't think I had the bed lowered, but I should double check.

The Rebel is the same height as a standard 2500, not the same height as a PW.
