Description
When it comes time to lift your SuperDuty for larger tire fitment and an improved stance, there are a lot of options out there. The Commuter 2.0 Suspension System from Carli is about lifting your truck the RIGHT way for the truck that sees mostly on-road duties and delivers a superior ride quality compared to anything on the market. CARLI SPEC 2.0" IFP SHOCKS The SuperDuty Commuter 2.0 system is designed for people seeking the best on-road ride quality that don’t plan to off-road their vehicle beyond low-speed trail driving. Utilizing Carli SPEC 2.0″ Diameter, Internal Reservoir shocks, Carli has developed a tune that delivers all-around comfort and ride quality designed for on-road, in town, highway, and towing/hauling. The mono-tube, internal reservoir, Carli SPEC 2.0 boasts 6063 Aluminum construction, anodized body for corrosion resistance, 5/8″ hardened steel chrome plated shaft, full serviceability and rebuildability and are built with 1-peice bushings in the 6061 billet rod-ends. These shocks are spec’d with a premium 5WT oil to balance lubricity, consistent damping and the widest available range in temperature variation. Carli backs these with a 1-year warranty, serviced by Carli. CARLI COMMUTER SUSPENSION SYSTEM COMPONENTS The truck will sit 5.5" higher in the front and have more wheel travel thanks to the taller, Progressive Rate Coil Springs. Radius Arm Drop Brackets reset the pivot point and keep the travel linear for the best ride. There are two options to correct your sway bar geometry, the Sway Bar End Link Kit (that comes with sway bar drops) or the Torsion Sway Bar Kit that includes the Sway Bar End Link Kit AND the Torsion Sway Bar. The Sway Bar End Link Kit will correct your geometry and the Torsion Sway Bar Kit will improve your ride quality and bump compliance in your front suspension. Bump Stop Drops protect the shocks from over-compressing, the Adjustable Track Bar centers the front axle and Stainless Brake Lines firm up braking and ensures there is enough line for the newfound travel. To round off the front end, Carli includes Caster Shims to tighten the steering. SWAY BAR END LINK KIT SPECIFICATIONS: Combines end links and drop brackets for perfect sway bar position 17-4 stainless steel, fully rebuildable Excellent articulation Compatible with 4.5" and 5.5" suspension systems TORSION SWAY BAR WITH END LINKS SPECIFICATIONS: Direct fitment to Carli 4.5" and 5.5" lifts Replaces immobile factory sway bar with custom torsion bar Huge ride quality improvement Includes drop brackets and sway bar links REAR LEAF SPRINGS NEW for the Carli-SPEC: In the previous version, Carli optimized the Commuter for the add-a-pack while recommending against our full replacement leaf springs. With the new shocks and tuning, the rear can now be outfitted with a replacement Full Progressive Spring Pack (reduces capacity to a “light” 3/4-ton) or factory leaf-pack modifying Progressive Add-a-Pack (maintains factory payload capacity and pairs with the included Carli Fabricated 2” block)! This is where the F250 and F350 are a bit different. Since 2008, the main spring packs on these two trucks is different; the F250 has a lighter rate spring pack than its 350 counterpart. The F250 Add-a-Pack equipped systems are a nice improvement over stock; the F350 with the Add-a-Pack is still very stiff in the rear as the main pack doesn’t move much unless loaded. Carli recommends the Full Replacement Leaf Spring packs for both trucks but especially the F350 given the super-stiff factory springs. If capacity is a concern, the Full Progressive Leaf Springs can be supplemented back to the factory capacity of a SRW F350 with the addition of our Long-Travel Airbags. The Full Progressive Leaf Spring Pack will shift the axle slightly forward in the wheel well to ensure maximum tire clearance for a 37” M/T at full compression. ADD-A-PACK SPECIFICATIONS: Built in the USA by Deaver Leaf Spring Smooth progressive design Supplied with 2" block, bump stop drops, u-bolts and hardware Provides slightly rear high stance with 4.5" and 5.5" lifts Load capacity is maintained, ride quality is improved FULL PROGRESSIVE LEAF SPRING KIT SPECIFICATIONS: Block eliminating Light 3/4 ton capacity, full capacity attainable with long travel airbags Includes new u-bolts and rear bump stop drops Provides 1" rear high stance on matching 4.5" and 5.5" suspension systems WHEEL AND TIRE FITMENT Carli recommends 17"-18" wheels, no more than 9" wide with 5" of backspacing with 37" E-Rated tires. The more rubber, the better the small bump compliance will be at proper inflation pressures. The ride will firm up as you go larger in wheel diameter. OPTIONAL CARLI ADD-ON COMPONENTS LEAF SPRING SHACKLE SPECIFICATIONS: Greasable and rebuildable Far better ride than factory shackle 1/4" steel construction Fits factory and Carli Springs CARRIER BEARING DROP SPECIFICATIONS: Drops carrier bearing on 2-piece driveshafts Prevents take-off shudder / driveline vibration Stackable 3/8" shims for 1-4" rear lift HIGH MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER SPECIFICATIONS: Inside the Carli stainless stabilizer Long lasting performance and appearance Bolt in replacement for OEM stabilizer Works on leveled and lifted trucks ONLY Not compatible with drop pitman arms LOW MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER SPECIFICATIONS: Inside the Carli stainless stabilizer Custom valved for larger tires, adjustable nitrogen pressure Includes differential guard and clamp Combines with high mount stabilizer for opposing setup FABRICATED ADJUSTABLE RADIUS ARMS SPECIFICATIONS: 1°-4° of adjustable Caster correction 3/16 construction, fully internal gusseted with 1/2" additional tire clearance Limit straps kit included Serviceable 17-4 stainless spherical joint at frame connection for longevity and bind free cycling Requires radius arm drop brackets for 4.5"- 5.5" Carli systems IMPORTANT NOTES: WHEELS: Carli Recommends a 17"-18" Wheel, no more than 9" wide with 5" of Backspacing on 5.5" Lift Systems TIRES: 37", E-Rated Tire Fitment is Recommended. Recommended unloaded Tire Pressure 45F/40R. RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION: Carli 5.5" Systems are Designed and Tested on Vehicles with 17"-18" Wheels with 37", E-Rated Tires. Stock wheels and tires or running a larger wheel diameter will result in a stiffer ride. REAR DRIVESHAFT: Trucks equipped with a 2 piece driveshaft will require part number CS-CARRIERDROP-F, a carrier bearing drop, to ensure proper driveline angles. IMPORTANT NOTE ON 2° PINION SHIM:*OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED* When modifying the rear leaf springs (add-a-pack or Full Spring Pack) of the 2017+ Super Duty platform, there's a small chance you'll induce a driveline vibration around 70mph when under power from the rear driveline. These pinion shims will correct the angle to 4°-5°, ideal for our lifted applications. Although these will not be "required" on every truck, the 4°-5° spec is superior in these applications and these are FAR easier to install initially. NO LEAF SPRING OPTION NOTES:Diesel Power Products and Carli strongly suggest the use of either options available. These options are designed to work flawlessly with the rest of your kit and, are the best way to go. However, we understand you may already have the necessary provisions and/or products to use with this kit so we give you the option to not include any leaf spring provisions.

About Carli Suspension
CARLI SUSPENSION KITS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPONENTS

Yeah, we know Sage Carli can launch a full sized truck over nearly any obstacle. If you are into Baja racing, everyone knows by now that Carli Suspension is the name to go with. What you may not realize is that Carli has a suspension kit for your needs too. You probably don't care anything about having your expensive truck go air born, but you do want the best performance out of your suspension for your application. Carli Starter and Commuter 2.0 systems are designed to give you the best possible street manners compared to any other system on the market while providing ample room for the larger tires you want. Potholes disappear, you find yourself building speed on corners and washboard, and that's just when you are on the way to work. Now imagine heading out to feed the cows WITHOUT hitting your head on the headliner. Imagine coming back from your hunting trip WITHOUT needing a trip to the chiropractor. Take another look at Carli Suspension. It's not all about Baja. It's about YOUR truck and what you do with it. Stop by, we'll give you a ride and show you what you're missing. Just bring the checkbook and permission from the boss! One ride and you'll be hooked!

CARLI KITS

The entire engineering philosophy behind Carli aims to offer the real world Dodge Ram and Ford SuperDuty a suspension system that drastically increases the street drive of the vehicle while offering incredible off-road characteristics. So far, Sage Carli's suspension systems are the only option available where you don't have to compromise.

Carli products are designed to meet the expectations of both the daily street driver and the most extreme avid off road enthusiast. From the urban streets to the most remote places, Carli products will far exceed all your expectations. The easiest way to put this into perspective is that Carli truly builds suspension systems for the enthusiast....the person who truly LOVES their truck and wants to upgrade it with the most thought out, tasteful upgrades on the market. No, this type of individual isn't going to head to Napa to pickup a new track bar. They're going to research the best possible track bar on the market and go that route. Carli Suspension is truly a brand for enthusiasts, featuring products that are built by enthusiasts. Just watch any of Carli Suspension's videos and you'll understand why they have such a passion for their products.

Stock production trucks are built mainly to keep costs down. From a truck enthusiast's point of view these standards simply are not acceptable. From people looking to get a better ride with a more aggressive stance to people looking to get some serious off road performance, Carli understands the needs of these enthusiasts. This is epitomized by the ever growing list of satisfied customers. Carli Suspensions relentless pursuit of producing the best performing suspension systems is something that can be felt every time a customer drives their truck. Carli wouldnt have it any other way.

CARLI COMPONENTS

You know, its not always about a complete suspension. In fact, some of our best selling Carli products are things like a track bar, Carli ball joints, shocks, coil springs, and more. Maybe you've got a clunk in your front end that has been nailed down to being from a worn out track bar bushing and you did your research (mentioned above) and found out that the best track bar for your Ram or Ford is from Carli, so you buy that one. Or maybe you want a better ride, but only want to replace the coil springs for now. No problem. Sure, Carli is centered around their entire systems, but nearly all of their components can be used interchangeably on a stock height truck or one with an existing leveling or lift kit. We do our best to make note of any fitment requirements on each product page, but if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and ask, we're happy to help.

Here at Diesel Power Products we only want to sell the best and lets face it, the stock Ram and Ford suspension needs help. Your stock suspension system is designed to be adequate and nothing more. Carli not only makes the ride of your truck better, it makes it safer. Whether you are towing a trailer on the interstate or doing a little off-road adventure, we will attest that you'll be more than satisfied by upgrading to Carli.
