Carli Backountry SPEC 2.0" Remote Reservoir Shock Package 05-23 Ford Powerstroke

The Super Duty Backcountry shock package is designed for people seeking the best on and off-road ride quality on a budget; basically, the Commuter 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.

These shocks will be a touch softer on-road than a Pintop with an impressive off-road capability for a 2.0? shock. This is Carli's best-riding, on-road package when paired with Full Progressive Leaf Springs and Torsion Sway Bar.

Both the Internal Reservoir (IFP) and Remote Reservoir shocks will feature the same construction. The body is 6063 aluminum offering a long service life and fantastic heat dissipation ? they?re also anodized for corrosion resistance. The 5/8? shafts are a hardened & chrome plated steel. These shocks are spec?d with a premium 5WT oil to balance lubricity, consistent damping and the widest available range in temperature variation.

The rod ends are constructed of 6061 billet aluminum; inside you will find a high-quality 1-peice bushing and zinc-plated crush sleeves for precision fit and longevity. The cylinder end cap has a unique design as it overlaps the body of the shock to provide external support to the internal snap ring. These shocks serve as the travel limiter for all trucks without aftermarket radius arms (and subsequent limit straps installed), ensuring the shock stays together on top out while bearing the load of the axle is paramount.

The Remote Reservoir variant adds the separate canister to carry the dividing piston and nitrogen charge leaving the entirety of the body available for extended piston travel. Without getting too technical, a Remote Reservoir will have more suspension travel than an IFP with the same mounting dimensions. In adding this canister, Carli has spec?d a high quality hose and fittings, similar to the one offered on Carli's King shocks.

The last high-end touch Carli added is their billet, laser etched Carli reservoir clamp, where applicable. In front applications, they tend to run a longer reservoir hose to a Carli mount, whether frame or coil bucket mounted. Rear configurations favor piggy-back style mounting. To ensure the look is on-par with the brand and function, Carli provides a set of CNC?d reservoir clamps for the rear shocks.

The covers manufacturer defect for 1 year from the date of purchase. Carli services the so you?ll work directly with Carli for any concerns.
