2019+ Ram 1500, REBEL HD Coil Test
Written: Monday, May 23, 2022
We brought in our initial tester, Adam, to revisit his build. It was his truck on which we determined the need for a Rebel-Specific Coil Spring. Since the initial build with the Rebel coils, he added a rack and CVT tent – he estimated these items to total 400lbs. Ironically, he had a couple 45lb. bumper plates in the bed which should’ve made for a clean 500lbs.
Running the Rebel coils, this weight put the truck ever-so-slightly rear low. As it’s difficult to see, I’ve leveled the truck perfectly for the picture and included an indicator line to show the reference of the rear to the front fender well.

We then installed the Rebel HD coils. This brought the truck to the PERFECT stance. With the HD(s), the truck has a 1/2″ rear-high stance when measured at the fender.

2019+ Ram 1500, REBEL HD Coil Release
Written: Thursday, May 5, 2022
The LONG awaited HD Coil has arrived. In our (seemingly) never-ending pursuit of perfecting the new 1500s, we now have our standard 1500 rear spring, the Rebel Rear Spring and, thanks to this truck, our Rebel HD spring. Below, you’ll see a side-by-side shot of all three springs offered; initial spring rate is orange, secondary spring rate is gray.
This is a basic demonstration but the material is also different among the 3 springs. The Ram 1500 spring uses the thinnest gauge, Rebel steps it up to the next size and again, the HD are thicker wire diameter than the standard Rebel. This increases both spring rates in addition to shifting the rate transition.
NOTE: The picture is high Res, click on it and zoom!
This customer’s Rebel is equipped with BOTH the Multi-Funtion Tailgate and Rambox. These options add a few hundred pounds to the already heavier Rebel platform. With our standard Rebel Springs, the customer sat slightly rear low.

Rear Frame to Axle Bump | 4.75″ |

The “HD” Coils were designed with the intent that a Rebel WITHOUT the MFT or Rambox could carry 500lbs of constant cargo (Rack and RTT, tools, etc.) thus, it would only make sense that a Rebel with these options (equating to an additional 300+ lbs) would sit better with the extra spring rate. We installed them and the truck sat perfect! Keep in mind, the customer had around 70lbs in the Ramboxes, as well.

The HD Coils gave this customer 1.25″ more lift and, subsequently, 1.25″ more up-travel than the standard Rebel coils. Measuring at the wheel wells the truck sits about 1/2″ rear high. Asking the customer to comment on the ride after the installation of the new coils, this is what he had to say:
I have about 100 miles on it already. I was surprised at how much I could tell the difference. When taking a big dip on the freeway the back end would squat like it was under sprung (it was!). That is completely gone now. The difference was immediately noticeable in a good way.
I also didn’t think I would be able to tell much difference visually in person. Again, I was surprised with how frequently I notice it when approaching the truck. I’m quite pleased. I’m looking forward to seeing the difference when the truck is loaded down with camping gear offroad or when towing the Patriot Campers trailer.

Just for fun, we loaded it with 500lbs. This only dropped the rear 1″.

We accomplished what we set out to achieve; a coil spring for nearly every application. We’re not providing specific metrics for each truck; we’ve done sufficient testing here to demonstrate the capability and suitable application for each offering.
Which spring best suits your build/application should be pretty easy to decipher but, if you have any questions, shoot an email and pictures of the build with estimated weights to info@carlisuspension.com and we’ll be happy to help where we can!
2019+ Ram 1500, REBEL Coil Release
Written: Thursday, February 17, 2022

We’ll save you the spiel – if you want to know the backstory, see the original article under this update. In short, the Rebels need taller rear springs than a standard 1500 – we had some from our standard 1500 project that were deemed too tall; voila, Rebel Coils. As these were prototypes, we ordered two more sets under a “Rebel” part number to confirm the production version would sit as the prototype did. Redundant, yes, but more testing and larger sample sizes never hurt before releasing product into the wild; we’re not a company that beta-tests.
Today, we get our desert first. The Rebel Coils are done and the HD Coil Project has begun!
2021 Ram Rebel, EcoDiesel
First truck we called in was Dusty’s – it’s a 2021 Rebel EcoDiesel equipped with our Performance 2.5″ System. As he was an early adopter, he’s running the standard 1500 coils in the rear. Taking measurements at the fender, he sat 3/4″ rear low. We popped in one of the two sets of Rebel coils and BAM, perfect Stance.
Performance 2.5 – 2021 Ram Rebel, EcoDiesel
Standard 1500 Coils | Rebel Specific Coils | |
---|---|---|
Front Fender to Floor | 40.75″ | 40.75″ |
Rear Fender to Floor | 40″ | 41.125″ |
Rear Frame to Axle Bump | 5″ | 5.875″ |
Front Pinch Weld to Floor | 17.5″ | 17.5″ |
Rear Pinch Weld to Floor | 17.25″ | 17.75″ |
The above measurements detail the stance change in the Eco-Diesel Platform; the rear came up about 1″ at the fender, 1/2″ at the pinch weld and 7/8″ measured at the bump stop. The best indicator of suspension height alteration is the bump-stop measurement as it isolates the change in suspension height ONLY. As you can see in the pictures, the stance is perfect. It’s the ever-so-slight rake we look for to ensure the truck doesn’t appear front-high.
EcoDiesel is in the bag; next up, we needed to check the Hemi to ensure it sat properly with the Rebel Springs.
2022 Ram Rebel, Hemi
The second test-truck we called in was Randy’s – a 2022 Rebel, Hemi, in stock form aside from some aftermarket Fuel Wheels onto which Randy swapped the OEM Rebel tires. We struggled to find a local truck with a Hemi, no Multi-Function Tailgate or Ramboxes, that was equipped with our system to make a comparison changing nothing but the springs. Randy was eager to install our parts and we were after the overall stance when built so we brought him in.
Performance 2.5 – 2021 Ram Rebel, Hemi
STOCK TIRES | Stock | Performance 2.5 – Rebel Specific Coils |
---|---|---|
Front Fender to Floor | 38.25″ | 40.75″ |
Rear Fender to Floor | 40.125″ | 41.125″ |
Rear Frame to Axle Bump | 5.625″ | 6.5″ |
Front Pinch Weld to Floor | 15.375″ | 17.5″ |
Rear Pinch Weld to Floor | 16.375″ | 17.875″ |
We are officially signed off on the Rebel Platform. The Hemi and Ecodiesel sit perfect with the Rebel-specific rear coil springs as detailed in the above measurements. This is, again, with no Multi-Function Tailgate or Ram Boxes. We do not have any accommodation for these options as they complicate each application to which they’re added given their additional heft.
Ram 1500 (non Rebel) could likely install the Rebel springs to accommodate both options, but not one or the other. With this Rebel coil project signed off, we’ve put in a RFQ with our Coil Manufacturer for “Rebel Coils +500lbs of constant load at ride height”. These will be our “HD” springs for the 19+ platform.
These springs are being designed with overlanders, contractors, camper shells/decked users, Rebels with MFT and Ramboxes, etc. There are so many variants of constant loads in these rigs that we’ll list our HD spec and it’ll be up to users to ensure their application meets the published weight standard.
In closing, the Rebel coils have been ordered as of February 16th, 2022 and carry a 3-4 month lead time. Expect orders to begin shipping May/June of 2022! We’ll keep everyone posted on the HD Project as it progresses.
2019+ Ram 1500, REBEL
Written: Thursday, September 30, 2021
Everyone, us included, is tired of hearing about “COVID” related supply-chain issues. We FINALLY got the Rebel in – why did it take so long? Well, the King Shocks we ordered to test the Rebel took over 9 months to arrive. We won’t bore you with the details; you’ve been delayed enough so… what’s the scoop? First thing we did was look everything over and compare it to the standard 1500. The truck appears the same as the standard 1500 in configuration but sits approximately 1″ taller in stock form.
Measurements: Stock
STOCK | 2019 Ram 1500, Hemi | 2019 Ram Rebel, Hemi |
---|---|---|
Front Fender to Floor | 36.5″ | 37.875″ |
Rear Fender to Floor | 39″ | 40″ |
Front Pinch Weld to Floor | 13.625″ | 15″ |
Rear Pinch Weld to Floor | 14.75″ | 16.375″ |
The rake from the rear to the front measures almost exactly 2″ rear high, measured at the fender. This is deceiving as the fender openings are not identical and thus, an imperfect place to measure the truck’s actual “stance”. We like to use a common body-line or, in this case, the pinch weld as it’s flat and runs the length of the cab providing more consistency in measuring height alteration.
At the pinch weld, the Rebel actually sits about 1.5″ high in the rear.
Installation of Performance 2.5″ System
This customer opted to run the Performance 2.5 System boasting Carli-spec King 2.5″ Diameter Remote Reservoir front coilovers. To correct the front geometry and ensure full travel range of the coilovers, the system includes Carli Front Control Arms and a set of Carli/Crown Performance Brake Lines.
Out back, matching rear 2.5″ King Piggyback Shocks, dual-rate soft-ride Coil Springs and a set of Extended Sway Bar End-Links round off the package.
Everything installed perfect BUT the stance was off. From the front, it appeared rear low. The side, it appeared level to slightly rear low and from the back, it looked perfect. Perspective is everything in “stance”. Here, we strive for a truck that appears level from the side and front but rear high from the back. Normally, this is achieved when the truck sits 1/2″ to 1″ higher in the rear than the front.
Measurements: Standard Performance 2.5 System

Rear Fender to Floor | 40″ |

Rear Pinch Weld to Floor | 17″ |
According to the above, we’re dead-nuts level at the pinch weld/chassis and slightly rear low, visually, at the fender. This is the perfect example of why we chase the slightly rear-high stance to get the look we’re after. This chassis sits perfectly level BUT appears rear low.
We went scouring through the several coil revisions we did on the 2019+ 1500 platform and found a revision marked “1 inch too tall”. In running the numbers, that’s the perfect spring!
We operate within certain compressed and free height parameters when developing coil springs. Altering the ride height of a spring results from changes in rate via pitch (coil angle), wire diameter (gauge of material used) and placement of the rate transition relative to the coil’s travel. These “dual rate” springs have a very soft first rate and second soft-ride rate. These are both reduced from the factory rate.
The initial rate is NOT a rate you’ll utilize at ride height. Think of it more like a tender-spring on a coilover; at ride height, it’s blocked out. As the rear end extends, the initial rate of the coil spring opens to maintain tension on the spring mounts and keep everything seated through the extended travel stroke of the Carli Spec shock.
On the 1″ taller springs, the rate transition moves higher in the coil spring shortening the initial spring rate and extending the load-bearing (at ride-height) spring rate. These springs are pictured on the left compared to the standard 1500 springs pictured on the right. Having this additional rate in the spring increases the average overall spring rate of the coil and will sit the rear end higher.
With the 1″ Taller Springs, the truck sat exactly where we wanted it!

Rather than scrapped R&D parts, these 1″ taller rear coils are now being blueprinted for the Rebel. Before hitting the “go-button” on the production of the springs, we’re having a couple sets made to put on local trucks and confirm this wasn’t an anomaly.
Once we confirm these springs, we’re off to the races for those with the Rebel! We’re hoping to see the prototype coils within a few weeks; we’ll check them and, assuming all is well, roll to production which takes 6-8 weeks. All in all, the Rebel threw us a curve ball and – rather than toss on a 1″ spacer for the Rebels as many would do (and you can do in the interim), we’re taking the time to do it correctly! This means early 2022 for the Rebel kits!

The Rebel starts 1″ taller than the standard 1500 BUT, with the 1″ taller Rebel-specific coil springs, they end up in the same spot save for some discrepancy given the differentiation in tire height. The same will be true for the Eco-Diesel variants; subtract 1″ from the stated lift heights for the standard Ram 1500 4×4 Kit and you have your Rebel figures.
As the Rebels require a different coil spring to sit rear-end proper, we’ll need to revisit the “HD” coil option. We offer this for the previous generation 1500 but, seeing as we now have 2 options for rear-springs based on platform, we’ll need to decide on which platform (perhaps both?) we’ll base the “HD” (+500lb constant load) variant.
Optioning your Rebel
The 1500s are far more sensitive to weight-added thanks to their lighter springs rates. Adding options like the Multi-Function Tailgate and Ram Box, especially when combined, add 250lbs of static weight to the rear end. This difference in weight has the Rebel sitting nearly 1″ low even with the Rebel Specific springs!
As you can see, this weight difference, all else held constant between the two Rebels tested, has a significant difference in the rear-end height of the vehicle. We’ve not tested these options individually but will be recommending people who option both MFT and Ram-box to purchase our “HD” coils, once available unless the above-pictures stance is acceptable to the customer.

Rear Pinch Weld to Floor | 18.25″ | 16.625″ |
Lastly, there are variables worth mentioning that will deviate the above figures:
- Tire Size and inflation pressure will vary the above measurements.
- Ram-Box and Multi-Function Tailgate Configurations: we’ve not tested these options individually at this time to know how the heavier Ram-Box/MFT configured trucks will sit with our rear springs.
- Off-Road Package: We’re told this sits 1″ taller (same as the Rebel). We would assume this means all Rebel figures apply BUT have not confirmed this.
- Aftermarket bumpers/Constant Bed-loads: We are unable to accommodate these options at this time. The Carli spec coilovers are at their MAX preload when you receive them; they cannot be further preloaded to accommodate aftermarket bumpers. Further, we do not have an “HD” coil spring at this time to accommodate constant bed-loads.
Rebel 2020 considering this kit but comments above regarding Rear Sag / HD Coils is that relevant to this setup? Looking for a one and done solution…commuter mostly and will do the frequent/occasional hit the trails and high speed some shops for fun and tow a camper on occasion for the long camp days…the last ram setup is clean and may replicate wheels/tires so just wanted to be 100% prior to purchasing that nothing more needed and just plug and play or wait if the rear sag mention is applicable and HD coils to come?
Hi Sam – I’m not sure I’m following your question. The Rebel does not sag when the proper coils are used. If it’s unloaded, run the Rebel coils. If you’re carrying a few hundred pounds at all times, throw in the HD!
Just to be certain – the 2.5 system lifts a 1500 Hemi rebel (non MFT or RB) around 1.6″ over stock rebel height? I am looking at ordering a 2.5 kit for my rebel and wanted to get around 2″ higher than it currently sits, but not willing to sacrifice ball joint and CV issues.
According to the measurement of the white truck with red wheels, you’ll see 2.5″ of lift in front – Fender started at 38.25″ and was 40.75″ after the lift. The Carli control arms eliminate the ball joint issues associated with lifting the truck and we’ve has zero CV issues.
I have a 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Sport. I am happy with the power and performance, it just needs help with the tongue weight of that trailer. I am looking at about a 500lb tongue weight so I am wondering if your 500lb springs would be my solution. I have seen airbags to supplement but wonder if your heavy duty springs are a better solution. How is the ride when unloaded? My big problem is the squat when towing
Hi Michael – these coils are designed for a constant load, they should not be run unloaded as they’ll sit too high and ride rough.
Do you suggest running the Rebel Coils with something like the falcon tow/haul struts to fix this issue? I am searching for a solution to the same question!
No, we wouldn’t recommend any shock we’d not tested. The Rebel coils will give a bit more lift and a slightly tighter ride on a non-rebel but should be run with one of Carli’s custom tuned dampers.
Need another truck to test? I have a stock 2021 Ram Rebel Eco Diesel with the ram boxes. I live in NV and do plenty of off-roading and towing. Looking to get this system.
No sir, we’re good but thank you!
I have 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn w/off-road package. Curious if the king 2.5 performanxe system fits? Or maybe the commuter kit with the control arms?
Assuming it’s a Hemi, they’ll both fit!
Any ETA on when the HD coils will be ready to ship? Waiting on them, so my performance kit can ship out. Thanks
Hey Johnny – they’ve been ordered; we’re likely looking at September/October 2022 shipment date.
I have a 2021 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi and would like to pick up one of your kits. I need this truck to do it all; off road occasionally, tow 8k a couple times a year and be my daily driver. Which system would you recommend to check all those boxes? Thank you!
Hey John – Performance will do it best, without question. If Commuter will do it if you keep your foot off the skinny-pedal when you’re in the dirt.
The last rebel pictured with the method NV 305 wheels, what finish are the wheels? Black, matte, grey???? Looking to do that same set up. Thanks
Those were matte-black.
18″ or 20″?
18″
I have a 2022 rebel Ecodiesel. If you guys still need someone to try out lifts let me know. I’m an avid off-roader and can properly test them out. Thanks!
We’ve done all the testing already – you’re buying a proven suspension!
Do you all have any idea when and if you will release a commuter setup for the rebel when they drop in 22? Also, any plans to use the FOX 2.5 factory race series remote reservoirs? Seems like a good in between option for those that don’t want to deal with the Kings.
It’s been a moving target. Original ETA on the Foxes was 12/13/2021. It’s now shifted to 7/2022. We’re doing what we can to prioritize it but it’s in Fox’s hands, now.
No, we only work with the Kings here in the 2.5″ and above.
Just curious if there’s any headway on the HD springs? Seriously interested in this kit for my 19 Laramie with ORG; but running a topper with the decked drawer system will without a doubt leave me with some serious rear end sag without some HD springs.
We are awaiting the King shocks to deliver for the next round of Ram 1500 Performance Systems. Once they come in, we have a prototype truck inbound to test-fit them on a Rebel Hemi (no MFT or Ramboxes) now that we’ve confirmed them on the ecodiesel. Once we finish this Rebel project, we’ll move onto the HD!
Is a diff drop necessary for the Rebels with this kit since they’re over 2”?
Hi Joe – There’s no CV bind necessitating a diff-drop on our systems.
Awesome! Thanks for the response. Can’t wait for these!
Hey Dan, The kit is available fo the 21 REBEL with RAMBOX and MFT?
I will run 35 12.5 r18
thank you
That truck will require a Rebel-specific kit with the HD Coils. The Rebel itself requires a 1″ taller spring and the Rambox and MFT will require more on top of that. Once we confirm our Rebel springs, we’ll move into the HD project!
If I want to future in my 21 rebel with MFT, I’ll do 1.5 spacer in back. Can I start with 2.5 kit for front?
The kits aren’t sold front/rear individually. I would recommend purchasing the whole system and installing whatever spacer you’d like to level the rear until the HD coils come out.
is the full kit available for eco-diesel yet?
Hey Jim – The EcoDiesel Kits are the Same as the Hemi kits for the 2019+. Yes, these are available!
Got a 2021 Ram Rebel 5.7 Hemi w/ eTorque. Looking at getting this suspension for my truck. I’m in Southern California.
Hey Brandon – shoot us an email with your zip to: Info@carlisuspension.com; we’ll be happy to recommend a retailer from which to purchase this!
HEY, can i use this kit to delete the air ride ? in my 19 rebel ?
Hey Enrique – We’ve not done this, in house. I have been told by customers that this can be done but you’ll need to source factory rear coil spring isolators and figure out a way to bypass the electronic air-system controls/alerts. We have not confirmed this – you may want to hit the forums or a knowledgeable installer to confirm.
I’ve been eyeing the Carli suspension systems since early last year and recently purchased a 2021 RAM 1500 with the Off-road group and MFT (not a Rebel). Since this has the ORG and MFT packages, it’s been difficult trying to figure out and find aftermarket options. Which suspension kit/system would you recommend and is anything currently available? I’m local (right around the corner in Wildomar, CA). I was leaning more toward the commuter system, but I wouldn’t mind the performance system. This is my daily driver and I plan on towing and off-roading occasionally. I’m aiming to add a 35″ tire setup and want to minimize any towing capacity loss. Also, I wouldn’t mind lending my truck for any R&D, but I’m mainly looking to purchase the right suspension kit. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Ray – Shoot us an email and we can link up on this! Dan@carlisuspension.com
What is the wheel travel on the stock rebel and then your kit?
Front travel on ours is right at 9″; not sure what factory is as we did not measure it.
Hey! I had the Performance 2.5 kit put on my 2020 ram 1500 4×4 with the off road package and I have a camper shell on top! So i get a considerable amount of rear sag due to it. If you need a test bed for the new HD coils i’d be willing! Or information regarding the deadline for HD coils!
Hey Oliver – Once we nail down the Rebel coil, we’ll get to work on the HD!
Im in Southern California a d really interested in the kit. I have a 19’ ecodiesel and would love to throw the performance kit on my truck. I would be willing to take my truck in if you’re still looking for a truck for R&D.
Hey Jeff – the kit is available for the EcoDiesel; no need for R&D but we appreciate the offer!
I’m committed to getting a carli system installed on my rebel. My only concern/question is if the performance package is right for me. My truck is my daily driver and I haul and tow fairly frequently. But I also go off-road often and am in the process of turning into an overland rig. I want to make sure I don’t have to much sag in the rear when it’s weighed down. Any thoughts? Also I’m local and would love to participate in any r and d. I’m running a spacer with rough country upper a arms temporarily until the carli system is in. Running 35” open country on method wheels with exhaust and a snugtop shell.
Hey Edward – My recommendation would definitely be the Performance System for your application. These 1500s don’t handle weight well, especially when leveled. How much are you throwing in the bed when you say you’re frequently hauling/towing? We plan to come out with an HD Coil Spring but are finding a ton of variance among Rebel options in how they determine payload… A fully optioned Rebel has around 1,000lbs of payload capacity. We’re still in talks about what the “HD” rear spring will be. I would recommend contacting us direct, via email, and we’ll keep you posted as the project progresses.
Thank you for replying. It depends. I own a construction company. And it can vary from hauling a couple hundred pounds to full capacity. I try not to do it ever at that limit, but sometimes I just don’t have a choice. Towing is typically well within the limit. I had air helpers on my last 1500 that helped. But was thinking about adding a timber grove set up once the carlis were in just for when I am loaded up or towing. What email should I use to contact you?
So longer springs, but the same shock? Does this mean the shock on the Rebel is extended an inch further at it’s resting point than on a standard truck? If so, how does this impact the performance?
Are you sure the rebel has 35×12.5r17 ?
I was told the Brakes will not clear 17” wheels and the minimum wheel size for the Rebel is 18”
Regards
The customer put the 35×12.5r18 on it and it clears the brake calipers without issue.
They are 18” wheels and -12 offset
Is this your truck? Because this is different than Dan’s answer.
I have a 2021 Rebel and I want to have a kit for it as soon as it is available. Please let me know if I can have access to a prototype.
Hi Zeke – We’re not offering prototypes for sale; if you’re local to Southern California, we’re happy to consider you.
I am in Arkansas. I just want to buy one as soon as it will be available.
Well, as the article mentions, you can buy the standard kit now if you choose and run a 1″ spacer in the back until the new springs come out. If you prefer to wait, it’ll likely be early next year.
Do you guys need another Rebel for testing by chance? I’m in San Diego. I have a 21’ with the Hemi. I’ve been in contact with CJC about a kit.
Hi Kyle – Feel free to shoot an email to info@carlisuspension.com as there are a couple sets of proto Rebel coils inbound we’ll want to test on a truck!
I’ve got a ‘21 Rebel Eco-Diesel & Performance 2.5 build scheduled with Powerhouse Performance in the next week or so. Just waiting on wheels & tires to come In, any time now. In the off chance you guys have an extra set of those extended rear coils laying around, let me know!
Hey Dustin – we have 2 sets inbound and would be happy to use your truck to test them out if you’re interested? Have Powerhouse install the kit and shoot us an email with your contact information and we’ll schedule you in to throw in the Rebel coils free-of-charge!
Oh hell yeah! Email sent!
Thanks Dan … cannot freaking wait!
Yesssss!!!!!
We’ve got a 2020 eco diesel, and are planning a 6 week trip to Alaska starting from KeyWest. Your suspension is at the opt of the list
It’s not overly comforting to hear you say I have to order now and may (or may not) get it in time. Thoughts?

Hey Rob – we have not even opened ordering for the for the Rebel. That said, you say you have a “2020 EcoDiesel”; is it a Rebel or no? If not i believe our retailers have the system in stock. If it is a Rebel, you can run the regular 1500 performance system with a 1″ rear coil spacer until the new springs go into production.
