Description
When most people think of a leveling system 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 who 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 utilizes the Carli SPEC 2.0 Remote Reservoir shock and can take your street truck to a rig that you won't throwing around in the dirt in comfort.
The Backcountry 2.0 system is designed for people seeking the best ride on and off-road quality on a budget; basically, the Leveling Kit is for those that want to have a little dirt-road fun in their 8,500lb truck without losing the on-road ride quality or usability for which the truck was designed. You’re no longer limited to the highway while gravel roads become uninteresting as you can drive them at speed with one hand on the wheel. The 2.5” lift height doesn’t require the front or rear geometry correction of the Carli 3” Systems.
CARLI-SPEC 2.0 REMOTE RESERVOIR SHOCKS
Utilizing Carli SPEC 2.0″ Diameter, Remote Reservoir shocks, Carli has developed a tune that delivers all around comfort and ride quality designed for on-road, in town, highway, towing/hauling as well as slow to mid speed off road use. The remote reservoir Carli SPEC 2.0 boasts 6063 Aluminum construction, anodized body for corrosion resistance, 5/8″ hardened steel chrome plated shaft, full serviceability & 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.
The rear shocks are also included with this system and have been custom tuned to maximize the ride quality for the factory rear coil springs. As the rear springs remain unmodified, load capacity is maintained while predictability is improved. For those that aren’t looking for massive increase in travel or big shocks but still desire a level stance and improved ride quality and handling characteristics, on and off-road, this is the perfect kit.
CARLI RECOMMENDATIONS
The front axle will be slightly pulled to the Driver’s side following installation of the lift; this can be corrected with the addition of our Adjustable Track Bar. Further, ride quality can be substantially increased with the addition of our Torsion Sway Bar. 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
This system will NOT be upgradeable to any other Carli Suspension Systems.
It's designed to be a solution for customers wanting a quality system with minimal lift and part inclusion.
Carli recommends 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.
Carli did not experience a coil bow in any of the test trucks, but it's possible at the 2.5" lift height without a Radius Arm Drop Bracket.
This system is not intended for use on models with factory rear air rides.
While the kit will physically bolt up, due to the shorter rear factory ride height of the air ride-equipped Ram 2500s, installation of this kit will result in a nose-high stance.
OPTIONAL TORSION SWAY BAR
The Leveling System will ride best with the Torsion Sway Bar. This upgraded sway bar lightens the spring rate of the front sway bar providing an independent suspension-like feel. Maintaining the factory sway bar is only recommended for customers with snow-plows, in-bed campers or who are constantly hauling to the capacity of the truck.
TORSION SWAY BAR SPECIFICATIONS:
The best bang for the buck upgrade for ride quality
Allows front suspension to move freely without giving up control
Requires removal of electronic sway bar on Power Wagons
Compatible with 0"-4" front lift
Torsion Bar may be black or silver zinc. Depends on availability. Not requestable
OPTIONAL LOW-MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER
Bolt in steering stabilizer replacing the OEM unit in the factory location. Adjustable from 70-200 psi to run neutral (no directional influence at 70psi) or at 200psi to counter the left-hand pull inherent to tires like Nitto Trail Grapplers. Run in conjunction with the Carli High Mount for the ultimate Dual, Opposing Steering Stabilizer combination that's infinitely adjustable.
LOW-MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER SPECIFICATIONS:
Direct bolt-in replacement
Corrects left tire pull, adjustable
Inside the Carli Stainless Stabilizer
OPTIONAL HIGH-MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER
Bolt in compliment to the Carli Low-Mount Steering Stabilizer. Adjustable from 70-200 psi to run neutral (no directional influence at 70psi) or at 200psi to counter the right-hand pull inherent to tires like Toyo Mud Terrains. This is NOT a primary stabilizer and MUST be run with either a Carli or OEM lower stabilizer in the factory location.
HIGH-MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER SPECIFICATIONS:
Simple, Bolt-in installation
Corrects right tire pull, adjustable
Combines with Low-Mount for opposing stabilization
Inside the Carli Stainless Stabilizer
OPTIONAL FABRICATED RADIUS ARMS
Icing on the cake, these arms add Limit Strap Protection for your Front Shocks, 1/4" Boxed Steel Construction, Serviceable 17-4 Stainless Spherical Bearings and maintain the factory caster adjustment.
FABRICATED RADIUS ARM SPECIFICATIONS:
Massive strength upgrade vs. stock arm
Improved ride quality and control
Internal X-bracing and serviceable 17-4 Stainless Spherical Joints

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 KITSThe 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 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.
