Coils

We highly recommend running Carli's Coils with other Carli components. Coils for the 2003-2009 model year Rams will deliver an additional 3" of front end height for a level ride, where the coils for the 2010-2012 models will receive roughly 2.75". However, if you already have Carli coils, no sense in purchasing them again!

Shock Options

Carli offers many shock options, depending on the use of the vehicle.  Some shock options will REQUIRE Carli's Shock Towers because they are a cross-bolt at the top of the shock, as opposed to the factory pintop style stud. We strongly encourage you to run limit straps on any packages. 

• Carli Signature Series Shocks
• Carli Commuter 2.0 SPEC Shocks
  
• Carli Backcountry 2.0 SPEC Shocks
• King 2.5 Pintop's
• King 2.5 Performance Series Shocks - REQUIRE Carli Shock Towers and reservoir mounts.
• King 3.0 Dominator Shocks - REQUIRE Carli Shock Towers and reservoir mounts.
• King 3.5 Unchained Shocks - REQUIRE Carli Shock Towers and reservoir mounts.

Shock Towers

Some models of shocks require cross-bolt style shock towers, such as the King 3.0. Carli offers their Fabricated Shock Towers for increased strength and to allow fitment of this style of shock top You must select the apropriate shock tower that will work with the control arm and shock option you select.

Adjustable Track Bar

When lifting the truck, it is necessary to install an adjustable track bar. The Carli Adjustable Track Bar is built out of chromoly and features an adjustable rod end to precisely center your axle.

Stainless Sway Bar End links

Most traditional "lift kits" include blocks to lower the factory sway bar, but still leave the weak end links in place that are prone to bending and breaking. Finish off your lift kit with a set of Carli Adjustable Sway Bar End Links.

Limit Straps

Help protect your shocks with a set of front limit straps. In order to maintain the warranty on the King 2.5 Pin-Top, King 2.5, and King 3.0 shocks, you are REQUIRED to have limit straps, but does not come with the kits.

Leaf Springs

Carli offers two different configurations for addressing the ride on the back half of the truck. The Add-A-Pack Leaf Springs will keep the main beam of your factory leaf springs in place and replace the lower overloads with a progressive 5-leaf add-a-pack. The Full Progressive Leaf Pack replaces the entire factory leaf spring configuration. The 5-Leaf Add-A-Pack is beneficial to some because it carries a higher payload capacity compared to the Full Spring Pack, where the Full Spring Pack offers superior overall articulation.

Control Arms

When lifting a vehicle, due to triangulation, the front axle moves towards the rear of the vehicle. The only way to properly correct this is to install a set of longer control arms.

We offer both the standard mild steel control arms, as well as the High Clearance Control Arms that, like the standard arms, feature a fabricated boxed design, but also have "notches" built in for maximum tire clearance.

Low-Mount Stabilizer

You can add considerable stability to the front of your truck by adding a high quality stabilizer. Carli offers to style of shocks depending on the style of steering your truck has. For those with 2003-2012 with the updated T-Style steering, we offer the Carli Stainless Steel Nitrogen Charged stabilizer.For owners of 2003-2008 trucks with the original Y-Style steering, we offer the same Carli nitrogen stabilizer, but with a machined mounting block to bypass the factory tapered stud mounting position. For those with 2003-2012 with the updated T-Style steering, we offer the Carli Stainless Steel Nitrogen Charged stabilizer. For further information on the different steering styles, please see the individual product page on our website.

High-Mount Stabilizer

Carli offers their high-mount stabilizer which mounts to the passenger side sway bar bracket and to the drag link, directly below the pitman arm. This is a great upgrade for those concerned with clearance of the traditional low mount, or for those who want to run TWO (upper and lower) stabilizers. You will need to choose whether you have the Y-Style or T-Style steering as described above.

Front Differential Skid Plate with Optional Opposing Stabilizer Bracket

Keep your differential protected from rocks while adding some style to the front axle. Carli offers their complete bolt-on front differential skid plate. They have also recently updated this skid plate to accept their new Opposing Stabilizer bracket to allow you to mount their T-Style Low-Mount Stabilizer Shock in the opposing position from the factory position, great for those with a High-Mount Stabilizer to create a true dual opposing stabilizer setup. We offer the skid plate and bracket separately, or together.

Torsion Sway Bar

What the heck is a Torsion Sway Bar? Basically, it gives you all of the benefits of having a sway bar (sway control) without the negative effect of loss of articulation. The Torsion Sway Bar includes Carli Adjustable End Links.
