2.5″ front lift designed for the customer who refuses to keep the rubber on the tarmac and has an eye for quality and appreciation for bang-for-their-buck. Nothing else is needed to run this system.

Front Lift Height: 2.5″ / Rear Lift Height: 0″ / Front Travel: 9.0″ / Rear Travel: 9″ / Shock Type: 2.5″ RR (Remote Reservoir) / Tire Fitment: 35″ x 12.5″

At the heart of this system is a 2.5” lift, Linear Rate Coil Spring paired to matched travel King 2.5” Remote Reservoir Shocks that have been custom tuned, in house, for superior ride quality and handling both on-road and off. The rear piggyback reservoir shocks are also included with this system and have been custom tuned to maximize the ride quality of the factory rear coil springs. As the rear springs remain unmodified, load capacity is maintained while on and off-road handing and predictability are massively improved. For those that love the way their Ram tows from the factory but don’t want to be limited to a crawl when leaving the pavement, this is the perfect kit.

This system boasts Carli specific, blueprinted, King 2.5” shocks on all four corners. In an effort to provide customers with the best product, we designed a custom piston to determine proper base flow rates to ensure the shock works well in the heavy duty truck platform; we then tuned the shocks around the custom pistons based on the only thing that matters to us, seat-of-the-pants feel. We round off ALL our King shocks with shafts machined and polished from a solid piece of 17-4 Stainless. Unlike King’s standard shafts, there is no coating to wear off, weather is far less likely to hurt them and if there is a small chip, you can round the edges with emery cloth to ensure the seal housing isn’t damaged as they’re not brittle like the stock, hardened shafts. The shocks are finished with King oil good to -55* F. Note that all King shocks are built with a plated steel body. If subjected to inclement weather for extended periods, we recommend wrapping your shocks in 3M to provide a moisture barrier that’s replaceable.

The included Adjustable Track Bar recenters the axle laterally at the taller ride height, Carli reservoir mounts hold the 9” Remote Reservoirs on display over the front tire and E-Brake Line Relocation Brackets ensure plenty of clearance for the oversized rear shocks. 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 other Carli Suspension Systems.**

 It’s designed to be a solution for customers wanting a quality, big-shock system boasting huge off-road capability, minimal lift and NO reduction in payload or hauling capacity. We recommend slight eccentric bolt compensation to correct caster after the lift as there are no Radius Arm Drops included. 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. A Radius Arm Drop Bracket can be added to alleviate bow and recenter the caster adjustment if bow is encountered. This system will result in tight and responsive, sports-car like handling; the 3” Suspension Systems will ride softer in the rear given the included reduced capacity rear springs.

Customiziation 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.

14-23 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 replacing the OEM unit in the 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.

14-23 RAM 2500/3500 4X4 LOW MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER - STAINLESS STEEL

SKU: CS-DLMSS-14
- Direct bolt-in replacement
- Corrects left tire pull, adjustable

High-Mount Steering Stabilizer

*OPTIONAL*

Bolt in compliment to the Carli Low-Mount Steering 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. This is NOT a primary stabilizer and MUST be run with either a Carli or OEM lower stabilizer in the factory location.

19-23 RAM 2500/3500 4X4 HIGH MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER KIT - LIFTED

SKU: CS-DHMSS-19
- Simple, Bolt-in Installation

- Combines with Low-Mount for opposing stabilization

Radius Arm Options

*OPTIONAL*

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.

- 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.
