OVERVIEW

In 2019, Ram lowered the rear of the 3500 SRW - for this reason, Carli are now providing a 1" Billet Block and U-Bolts to fit the larger AAM 12" Axle (4.25" Axle Tubes). If you have a 19+ DRW, you do not need the 1" block to achieve a level stance - order the 13-18 option, instead.

- 2019+ 3500 4x4 SRW
- 2019+ 3500 4x4 DRW, use other option (CS-DPT25-LVL-13-D) with NO BLOCK

*Does not work with rear auto-level air suspension. This system is tuned for the 3500s equipped with rear leaf springs. It will install on the 3500  trucks equipped with the factory auto-leveling air assist but the tuning is NOT refined to the platform. Carli recommend you measure the truck as it often takes less than 2.5″ of front lift to level the Air-Assist Rams.*

Description:

This system is designed for the customer who refuses to keep the rubber on the tarmac and has an eye for quality and appreciation for bang-for-their-buck. At the heart of this system is a 2.5” lift, Linear Rate Coil Spring paired to matched travel King 2.5” Remote Reservoir Shocks that have been custom tuned, in house, for superior ride quality and handling both on-road and off. The rear piggyback reservoir shocks are also included with this system and have been custom tuned to maximize the ride quality of the factory rear leaf springs. Aside from the block, the rear springs remain unmodified and thus, load capacity is maintained while on and off-road handing and predictability are massively improved. For those that love the way their Ram tows from the factory but don’t want to be limited to a crawl when leaving the pavement, this is the perfect kit.

The Details:
This system boasts Carli specific, blueprinted, King 2.5” shocks on all four corners. In an effort to provide customers with the best product, we designed a custom piston to determine proper base flow rates to ensure the shock works well in the heavy duty truck platform; we then tuned the shocks around the custom pistons based on the only thing that matters to us, seat-of-the-pants feel. Carli round off ALL their King shocks with shafts machined and polished from a solid piece of 17-4 Stainless. Unlike King’s standard shafts, there is no coating to wear off, weather is far less likely to hurt them and if there is a small chip, you can round the edges with emery cloth to ensure the seal housing isn’t damaged as they’re not brittle like the stock, hardened shafts. The shocks are finished with King oil good to -55* F. Note that all King shocks are built with a plated steel body. If subjected to inclement weather for extended periods, we recommend wrapping your shocks in 3M to provide a moisture barrier that’s replaceable.

The included Adjustable Track Bar recenters the axle laterally at the taller ride height white the Carli reservoir mounts hold the 9” Remote Reservoirs on display over the front tire. We provide a 1″ rear lift block for the 2019+ platform (these trucks are 1″ lower in the rear than their 13-18 counterparts). Further, ride quality can be substantially increased with the addition of our Torsion Sway Bar. Carli 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.

**This system will NOT be upgradeable to any other Carli Suspension Systems.** It’s designed to be a solution for customers wanting a quality, big-shock system boasting huge off-road capability, minimal lift and NO reduction in payload or hauling capacity. Carli recommend slight eccentric bolt compensation to correct caster after the lift as there are no Radius Arm Drops included. For this reason, customers may experience a slight bow in the coil spring. We did not experience a coil bow in any of our test trucks but it’s possible at the 2.5” lift height without a Radius Arm Drop Bracket. A Radius Arm Drop Bracket can be added to alleviate bow and recenter the caster adjustment if bow is encountered. This system will result in tight and responsive, sports-car like handling; the 3” Suspension Systems will ride softer in the rear given the included reduced capacity rear springs.
