When most people think of a leveling system for their 2014+ Ram 2500, they think of a simple spacer kit that is installed on top of your factory coil springs to increase the front end ride height. Well, that's not this! In true Carli Suspension form, this is a fully engineered system to increase the ride comfort and suspension performance of your Ram 2500 designed for those that aren't looking for one of Carli's complete suspension systems. And no, Carli didn't just take the coil springs from their other systems and a kit, the coil springs featured in this Leveling Kit were built specifically for this system.

This system is 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. 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.

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.

KING 2.5 SHOCKS:
In an effort to provide customers with the best product, Carli designed a custom piston to determine proper base flow rates to ensure the shock works well in the heavy duty truck platform. Carli then tuned the shocks around the custom pistons based on the only thing that matters to them, seat-of-the-pants feel. Carli rounds off ALL their 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 degrees 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 rear piggyback reservoir shocks are also included with this system and have been custom tuned to maximize the ride quality of the factory air bags. As the rear bags remain unmodified, load capacity is maintained while on and off-road handling and predictability are massively improved.

TRACK BAR:
The Kit included Adjustable track bar that centers the axle to the frame.

REAR AIR RIDE SUSPERNSION:
Starting with the airbag spacers. They?re included because the air-ride trucks have 1? less rear to front rake when compared to a coil sprung truck. Carli's choice was between making a shorter coil and shock combo to a truck already starved for suspension travel or space the rear to match our 2.5? spring; Carli chose the latter to maximize the travel and ride comfort. For the leveling system, this required some engineering as you can?t just throw a 1? spacer on; the length of the factory stud doesn?t facilitate this. Carli designed a 2-piece spacer. Half bolts to the bag, half bolts to the axle ? in between, chromoly spacers to support the load, then it all bolts together. It installs seamlessly. The whole assembly snaps together like an ultra-satisfying adult lego set. The pins pressed into the upper half of the bracket mark the rear and provide a failsafe for the airbag.

EXTENDED SENSOR LINKS:
The factory links are cheesy polimer ends. This part sees no real load but polimer isn?t our style. We machined exact length rods for the 2.5? Systems and 3.25? Systems from aluminum rod then thread the ends to accept our zinc-steel ends. The ends snap into position with authority and are provided with a spring clip keeper for insurance.

BUMP STOP DROPS:
The Leveling Systems will be provided with a 1-7/8? Bump Stop Drop. These bolt in place of the factory 7/8? bumps providing a 1? total drop over stock to compliment the 1? airbag spacer provided. The bags bump out exactly as they do factory and are essentially shifted down 1?. The rear shocks provided with the leveling system maintains the stock rear travel.

RADIUS ARM DROP BRACKET OOPTION:
The Radius Arm Drop Brackets are NOT required. A 2.5" Front lift is able to be caster corrected by adjusting the caster-cams all the way to the rear of the truck. If you'd like to correct spring pressure and eliminate potential coil spring bow and maintain full use of your caster adjustment, these Radius Arm Drops should be added.

Wheels and Tire Recomendation:
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.
