When looking for a suspension upgrade for your Ford you have a lot of factors to consider. The biggest one is whether your budget can match your needs and that's the question this levelling kit is the answer for. Designed for people that want the best ride on and off-road without breaking the bank, the Carli Backcountry Suspension System gives you the ability to make gravel feel like pavement. If you want to level your truck the right way, then this is the system for you! Utilizing Carli SPEC 2.0″ diameter shocks tuned for slow to mid speed off road use as well as all-around comfort and ride quality while driving in town, on the highway, towing, or hauling. Carli SPEC 2.0 boasts an aluminum body, hardened steel shaft, and full rebuild-ability. The shocks contain premium 5WT oil to balance lubricity, consistent damping and the widest available range in temperature variation. Your truck will sit 3.5” higher in the front and have more wheel travel thanks to the taller, lighter rate coil springs. To accommodate the additional travel, the kit contains improved brake lines, an adjustable track bar, and caster adjusters to improve on the stock handling.
Front Sway Bar Option
-
No Sway Bar: The Communter System is optimized to be used with a torsion sway bar giving a huge ride quality upgrade. Staying with the factory sway bar is not recommended unless you have a truck with a snow plow, or in-bed camper, or constantly hauling to capacity.
-
Sway Bar Drop Bracket: The economical solution as it keeps the Factory Sway Bar End Links but corrects the factory sway bar geometry.
-
End Link and Drop Bracket Kit: This kit combines End Links and Drop Brackets for perfect sway bar position and excellent articulation.
-
Sway Bar Kit and End Links: This kit replaces your immoveable factory sway bar with a custom torsion bar and has brackets and links to make sure it fits as it should. There will be a huge ride quality improvement when you install this kit.
Rear Leaf Spring Option
-
No Rear Leaf Spring: Unless you have your own set of Carli leaf springs you can use, this will result in a "floaty" rear end and unknown height as the Commuter System is designed to be used with any of the below options; NOT factory leaf springs.
-
Carli Add-A-Pack: While these are compatible, there will be a noticeable ride quality difference between on and off-road. The Add-A-Pack is not recommended for F-350, F-250 with High Capacity Tow, or Tremor Package.
-
Full Progressive Leaf Springs Kit: The Commuter 2.0 Kit is optimized to be used with this Rear Leaf kit.
-
Heavy Duty Progressive Leaf Kit: These Heavy Duty Leaf Springs are designed for those trucks which have 1,000 lbs constantly in their bed.
Leaf Spring Shackle Option
The SuperDuty can have a rather jarring ride quality in its rear due to factory vulcanized bushings in the leaf spring pack and shackle. While the shackle is tough, its design didn't take into account ride quality. Replace it with the Carli shackle to get both strength and smoothness.
Pinion Shim Kit Option
Recommended for when you are modifying rear leaf springs, these shims correct an angle issue for your driveline that can cause vibrations once you get 70mph. It's better to take care of the issue now when you install your suspension kit and then realize it later.
Adjustable Radius Arms Option
Put the nail in "Death Wobble"'s coffin with these radius arms from Carli. A full .5° to 2.5° of adjustable Caster correction comes with these full-length internal structure arms.
Steering Stabilizer Option
A lift kit brings many benefits but it does come with some added snags to your drive comfort. Smooth them out with steering stabilizers. Choose high, low, or both for the ultimate dual opposing combination you can adjust more times than you can count.
