The Carli Suspension Pintop 2.5 System is a complete suspension transformation designed specifically for Ram 3500 owners with factory auto-leveling air suspension who demand maximum capacity without sacrificing handling or ride quality. This jack-of-all-trades system delivers 3-3.5 inches of front lift (cab configuration dependent) with 50% more suspension travel than the factory platform, while maintaining the truck's impressive 6,000+ pound payload capacity.
King 2.5" Remote Reservoir Shocks - The Heart of the System:
At the core of this system are Carli-tuned King 2.5" remote reservoir shocks on all four corners. These aren't off-the-shelf shocks - Carli designed custom pistons to determine proper base flow rates specifically for heavy-duty trucks, then tuned the shocks based on real-world performance. All shocks feature oversized shafts machined and polished from solid 17-4 stainless steel with no coating to wear off, filled with King oil rated to -55°F. The shock tuning is specific to auto-leveling air suspension Ram 3500s, delivering a softer ride with more control and bottom-out resistance than stock.
Progressive Rear Leaf Spring Pack:
Carli partnered with Deaver Spring to develop a progressive leaf spring pack that lifts the rear 2.5 inches while drastically improving unloaded ride quality and maintaining the truck's capacity without stressing the factory air system. The system includes custom spacers to achieve full travel with factory airbags, plus relocation brackets for the rear height sensor to ensure proper operation of the load leveling system. The factory air tank is relocated to the spare tire area to clear the front radius arm drop brackets.
