Carli Suspension Front Leveling Kit (2010-2013 Ram 2500/2010-2012 Ram 3500)
Carli Suspension Front Leveling Kit (2010-2013 Ram 2500/2010-2012 Ram 3500)
Utilizing Carli's multi-rate coil springs that add 3 inches of ride height to the front of your Dodge Ram and custom Carli Signature Series shock absorbers plus options for your sway bar, this kit is SO much more than your traditional "leveling kit."
The Leveling System was designed for people seeking a leveled vehicle with more performance and ride quality than a generic spacer lift. The Carli Signature Series front shocks have been custom tuned, in house by Carli, for superior ride quality.
CARLI SIGNATURE SERIES SHOCKS
Your truck will sit 2.5"-3" higher in the front with 50% more suspension travel than the factory platform thanks to the taller, lighter rate coil springs. The included, front, Carli Signature Series Shocks are longer to accommodate the extended travel. When designing the shocks, Zinc plating, Clear Coat for corrosion resistance, and quality bushings were a must; finished off with boots to protect the shafts, Carli backs them with a limited lifetime warranty to ensure their quality is as unbeatable as their ride quality at this price point.
SWAY BAR OPTIONS
When pairing added down-travel with the taller ride height, the position of the factory sway bar will need to be altered as well. For this, we offer two options; extended, Sway Bar End Links or the replacement Torsion Sway Bar. The End links are equipped with 1/2" FK Rod-Ends and in-house machined 17-4 stainless bodies that are extended over stock to reset the sway bar engagement point. Factory pillow bushings are re-used to assemble the sway bar to the lengthened link. Carli's Torsion sway bar removes the entire factory sway bar assembly replacing it with a torsion bar supported by fabricated drop brackets and delrin bushings. Fabricated sway bar arms and dual 5/8" FK heim end links round off the package. This is the single best bang for the buck, ride-quality upgrade offered by Carli Suspension (in close competition with the full progressive leaf spring upgrade offered in the higher-end systems).
SWAY BAR SPECIFICATIONS:
- Extended Sway Bar End Links
- In-house machined 17-4 stainless steel
- 1/2" FK Chromoly Rod-End
- For Control Arms Trucks with 0-3" of front lift
- For Control Arm Trucks with Sway Bar Drop & 6" of Front Lift
- Replacement end links that are built substantially stronger than factory end links and are adjustable.
- To determine whether you will need the 10mm or 12mm end links, the 10mm option will have an end link nut size of 15mm and the 12mm will be 18mm.
- Merely put a socket or end wrench over your factory sway bar to confirm.
- Torsion Sway Bar:
- For trucks with 0-3" of front lift
- Requires removal of electronic sway bar on Power Wagons
- Complete replacement sway bar that allows the axle to move freely
- Best bang for the upgrade to improve performance of the suspension
- Torsion Bar may be Black or Silver Zinc; depends on supply chain availability. Not requestable.
ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR RECOMMENDED
When lifting the front end of a straight axle truck, the front axle is pulled off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed. Three inches of front lift equates to an axle shifted toward the driver's side 3/4" and back toward the cab 1/2". Although this is perfectly operable, we recommend the purchase of an adjustable track bar to shift the axle back toward the passenger side and provide a stronger link with less deflection for the lifted application, and a set of extended control arms to shift the axle forward to its new center of travel.
- WHEELS: Carli Recommends a 17"-18" Wheel, no more than 9" wide with 5.75" of Backspacing on Leveling Systems
- TIRES 35", E-Rated Tire Fitment is Recommended. Recommended unloaded Tire Pressure 45F/40R
- RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION: Carli Leveling Systems are Designed and Tested on Vehicles with 17"-18" Wheels with 37", E-Rated Tires. Stock wheels and tires or running a larger wheel diameter will result in a stiffer ride.
- This system will fit up to a 35" tire with stock control arms (we recommend purchasing the extended, Mild Steel Control Arms) on wheels with 5.75-6" of backspacing.
- If running factory wheels, we recommend an All Terrain 35" tire to avoid rubbing. For 37" tire fitment, the High-Clearance Control Arms and Adjustable Track Bar can be paired to a wheel with 5.75" of Backspacing.
- The more rubber, the better the small bump compliance will be at proper inflation pressures. The ride will firm up as you go larger in wheel diameter.
- Diesel Power Products and Carli strongly suggest the use of either options available. These options are designed to work flawlessly with the rest of your kit and, are the best way to go. However, we understand you may already have the necessary provisions and/or products to use with this kit so we give you the option to not include any sway bar drop or Torsion Sway Bar provisions.
