here at the back end of the truck a brand new morechiseled Rams head but designers have kept the are AM lettering here on theback with the rebel package in fact the rebel package the more sporty ER of thetrim levels still has the big wheels and tires still has the taller suspensionlift on it’s about one inch higher whether you get the brand new coilsprings availability on the rebel package or you
