Carli Performance 2.5 Suspension System 20-23 Ram 1500
Description
Carli's 2.5" Performance System is engineered to be the ultimate bolt-on, dual-purpose rig. The Performance 2.5″ King custom shock project tames anything the road, freeway, or dirt trails have to offer.
CARLI SPECIFIC FRONT COILOVERS
Several limitations and mounting constraints resulted in a coilover that’s NOT adjustable for more lift height. The 600lb rate on which Carli landed with the spec’d preload provides exactly 2.5″ of front lift on the Hemi, and 2″ on the EcoDiesel (non-Rebel). Another 1/2″ turn of the collar will result in a coil bind. That said, there’s a decent amount of room to thread the collar back. Conversely, the coil would remain under tension even if the collar were to be backed off to the top-cap (i.e., if a rear-high stance is preferred). The way the coilover comes out of the box is the height at which Carli recommends running it and to what they tuned; again, 2.5″ of front lift. To the end user, that means these CANNOT be preloaded to make up for lost height if you’re adding weight (large bumper/winch) to the front end of the truck
ADDED DOWN TRAVEL
When comparing this to the previous generation Ram 1500 Performance 2.5, the 2019 system sees 2″ more down travel stroking a total of 9″ up front with the rear cycling 12″ at the wheel. Same wheel travel overall, BUT, a far more balanced travel stroke as the 2009-18 were starved for droop. This added down-travel makes the Carli Control Arms a MUST; thus, they’re included in the Performance 2.5″ System to avoid topping out on the factory ball-joint upper control arm.
MULTI-RATE COIL SPRING
In the rear, they swap in their multi-rate coil spring. This went through several iterations. The 2019+ came with an all-new spring that had us back to the drawing board. Carli wanted a spring that would maximize suspension travel while providing a supple yet predictable ride on and off the pavement. Further, they didn’t want to deviate too far from the factory load capacity. Their rear springs are shot-peened & pre-set for the longevity of the coil (it won’t ever sag), then powder coated to ensure the finish quality is as good as the spring’s performance.
This multi-rate coil provided 1 -1/4″ of rear lift on the Carli Hemi test truck and 7/8″ on the EcoDiesel. The initial, softer rate is blocked out at ride height. This is NOT designed to be some super soft on-road rate – think of this as a “tender spring”. They wanted predictability in ride and handling so the truck would run on the 2nd rate unless the rear axle droops (offroad). Further, when loaded, it ensure sag is not exaggerated by initial collapsing of a softer rate. Take it in the dirt and, once the axle droops, the initial rate opens to keep the coil tight to its mounting perches while the extended travel shocks are pushed to the bottom of their longer stroke. As travel was extended in the rear, the Carli extended sway bar end links are used to maintain the factory sway bar through the extended range.
KING 2.5" SHOCKS
Extended travel King 2.5″ Shocks round out the rear of this system. That’s right, NO track bar drop on the 2019+. Again, where it’s not needed, they don’t include it. The redesigned factory track bar position and length of the 2019+ platform showed no increase in rear yaw (side to side movement of the rear axle) through the extended travel stroke so Carli felt no need to address it.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Ram 1500 Platform has an elliptical shaped cavity engineered into the back of each steering knuckle. This cavity engages the lower control arm steering stop as the suspension travels with the wheels turned. It’s purpose – to protect the tie-rod ends from binding and breaking at the extreme angles encountered when turning at the outer ends of the travel stroke. It’s perfectly normal to see some metal on metal-on-metal contact or hear a clunk when holding the wheel cranked in a turn encountering obstacles. This is, again, a factory protection Carli does NOT recommend modifying.

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.

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 COMPONENTSYou 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.
