Does not work with rear auto-level air suspension.
The Backcountry 2.0 system is designed for people seeking the best ride on and off-road quality on a budget; basically, the Leveling Kit for those that want to have a little dirt-road fun in their 8,500lb truck without losing the on-road ride quality or usability for which the truck was designed. You’re no longer limited to the highway while gravel roads become uninteresting as you can drive them at speed with one hand on the wheel. The 2.5” lift height doesn’t require the front or rear geometry correction of our 3” Systems.
Utilizing Carli SPEC 2.0″ Diameter, Remote Reservoir shocks, we’ve developed a tune that delivers all around comfort and ride quality designed for on-road, in town, highway, towing/hauling as well as slow to mid speed off road use. The remote reservoir Carli SPEC 2.0 boasts 6063 Aluminum construction, anodized body for corrosion resistance, 5/8″ hardened steel chrome plated shaft, full serviceability & rebuildability and are built with 1-peice bushings in the 6061 billet rod-ends. These shocks are spec’d with a premium 5WT oil to balance lubricity, consistent damping and the widest available range in temperature variation. We back these with a 1-year warranty, serviced by Carli.
The rear shocks are also included with this system and have been custom tuned to maximize the ride quality for the factory rear coil springs. As the rear springs remain unmodified, load capacity is maintained while predictability is improved. For those that aren’t looking for massive increase in travel or big shocks but still desire a level stance and improved ride quality and handling characteristics, on and off-road, this is the perfect kit.
More details on these shocks can be found HERE.
The front axle will be slightly pulled to the Driver’s side following installation of the lift; this can be corrected with the addition of our Adjustable Track Bar. Further, ride quality can be substantially increased with the addition of our Torsion Sway Bar. We recommend a 35” tire on a wheel that’s no more than 9” wide with 5.5”-6” Backspace. An 18” diameter wheel will be best to ensure optimal ride quality (more rubber = better small bump compliance) and an unloaded tire pressure of 45F/40R is recommended. The addition of a Carli Low-Mount Steering Stabilizer is recommended for any tire over factory size. For more details, see our article on wheel and tire selection and tire pressures:
Tires and Wheels: How Do They Affect My Ride?
This system will NOT be upgradeable to any of the 3″ Carli Suspension Systems. It’s designed to be a solution for customers wanting a quality system with minimal lift and part inclusion. Customers can purchase the Pintop leveling shock package for a huge boost in on-road control and off-road performance as well as ancillary components compatible with this lift height but there isn’t compatibility between the 2.5″ leveling and 3″ lift systems.
We recommend slight eccentric bolt compensation to correct caster after the lift as there are no Radius Arm Drops. For this reason, customers may experience a slight bow in the coil spring. We did not experience a coil bow in any of our test trucks but it’s possible at the 2.5” lift height without a Radius Arm Drop Bracket.
Customization Information
Sway Bar Option
*OPTIONAL* - The Leveling System will ride best with the Torsion Sway Bar. This upgraded sway bar lightens the spring rate of the front sway bar providing an independent suspension-like feel. Maintaining the factory sway bar is only recommended for customers with snow-plows, in-bed campers or who are constantly hauling to the capacity of the truck.
RAM 2500/3500 4X4 TORSION SWAY BAR - 3" LIFT
SKU: CS-DTSB3-1419
- Easily the best "bang for the buck" upgrade for ride quality
- Allows front suspension to move freely without giving up control
- Requires removal of electronic sway bar on Power Wagons
- Compatible with 0"-4" Front Lift
- Torsion Bar may be Black or Silver Zinc; depends on supply-chain availability. NOT requestable.
Low Mount Steering Stabilizer
*OPTIONAL* - Bolt in steering stabilizer (factory location). Adjustable from 70-200 psi to run neutral (no directional influence at 70psi) or at 200psi to counter the left-hand pull inherent to tires like Nitto Trail Grapplers. Run in conjunction with the Carli High Mount for the ultimate Dual, Opposing Steering Stabilizer combination that's infinitely adjustable.
RAM 2500/3500 4X4 LOW MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER - STAINLESS STEEL

- Inside the Carli Stainless Stabilizer
High Mount Steering Stabilizer
*OPTIONAL* - Bolt in stabilizer adjustable from 70-200 psi to run neutral (no directional influence at 70psi) or at 200psi to counter the right-hand pull inherent to tires like Toyo Mud Terrains. ** Note: Original 14-18 Drag Links will have 2 jam-nuts and large adjustment collar - order DHMSS-14 stabilizer. If the truck has been updated to the 19+ drag link, order the DHMSS-19.

Radius Arm Option
Icing on the cake, these arms add Limit Strap Protection for your Front Shocks, 1/4" Boxed Steel Construction, Serviceable 17-4 Stainless Spherical Bearings and maintain the factory caster adjustment.

- Massive Strength Upgrade vs. Stock Arm

- 10" Quad Wrap Limit Straps, For 2.5" Leveling Systems
Radius Arm Drop Bracket Option
*OPTIONAL* - The Carli Leveling Systems do NOT include radius arm drop brackets as the 2.5" lift height can still achieve proper caster by maxing the factory caster adjustment. Adding these Radius Arm Drop Brackets will lower the arm pivot point to account for the lift height opening the full range of caster adjustment and correcting spring pressures to ensure NO bowing of the coil spring. Although these are not required, they are recommended.
