Hey Carl, one thing to keep in mind is that the guys adding bags most likely would have needed them with stock springs as well. Feel free to call any time!

i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!

@Davion William instablaster :)

Thank you!

@@CJCOffRoad What Steering Box Brace do You recommend to use with Your Carli Torsion Sway Bar Kit? For a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 with 3" Carli Spring lift. Thanks for the help...

John Busby let me know what bag system you do. I need one

Ditto on the airbag set up. I have a 30' bumper pull that may squat the rear Carli Setup like you mentioned Mr Busby

@@pablo3735 we have found the best way to compensate for heavy loads with the newer 2500s is to use the Timbren bump stop system.

I am going with the 2580 Firestone Ride-Rite . Everything I have read states the Firestone air bags are the best. Kit cost about $350

John Busby I put that on my 3500 and it works great

Exactly, the front will be dramatically improved. The rear still has the stiff springs, however it still rides a hair better due to a specific shock tune designed to cut down on harshness.

Having that ball joint issue myself

which kit did you purchase?

Thuren too ! Its an amazing. Difference.

Carli doesn't make anything for the IFS Chevy trucks sadly. We typically use Cognito arms and keys, 2.5" King OEM shocks, and a custom Deaver rear leaf pack. That's going to be a great basic set up to improve ride on those trucks significantly, while sticking within the confines of the factory suspension.

This will be a SIGNIFICANT ride improvement over an air based system. There's a common misconception that air suspension is "like riding on air" but in reality, you're riding on a thick rubber bag filled with air. Those bags don't compress, flex, or extend anywhere near as well as a coil spring will. If you're looking for ride quality, especially off road, these systems are the best you can get.

Depends on what you want out of you truck. Do you want lift or performance. For solid axle truck the only performance kits are carli and pure performance. If you want lift go with BDS, ICON, SuperLift, Cognito, or Top Gunz Customs.

About $3.3k. We have done multiple builds utilizing Four Wheel Campers! Feel free to call us any time.

nicholas singh Appreciate the information. Nothing beats factory engineering I guess?

Yes the Cari or Thuren kings are significantly better than an off the shelf King because of the tuning. The magic of both lies in the months they spent coming up with specific tuning profiles for the various truck platforms and spring set ups that they offer.

I ALSO WISH THEY HAD A CERTIFIED INSTALLER IN ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA IS A LITTLE TO FAR.

Carli doesn't make any F-150 systems currently.

6" is the biggest they will go.

We've been trying to come up with a clever way to show movement of the truck. I tried a in cab mounted camera, but it just didn't show how different the suspension feels. We even joked about using a water bottle or cup of water. I promise we'll put our heads together and think of a way to convey ride improvement in video form!

Well yeah, why would you raise something that isn’t 4x4

Just doing shocks alone is a help, but you're only addressing one single part. If you really want appreciable ride improvement, you need to replace shocks, springs and the necessary supporting parts.

@@CJCOffRoad ok cool..

The AEV kit is essentially drop brackets with standard 5100 shocks. The Carli system is a custom tuned suspension system with only the highest quality parts, joints and construction techniques.

That answer depending entirely on what make, model and year your truck is. Best case is full payload and towing, worst case is 85% payload.

They do not. But several other companies do

Feel free to email or call us any time Monday-Friday 9-5. Thanks!

No, sadly.

Carli suspension only makes suspension kits for factory straight axle trucks. Currently dodge ram, ford superduty and jeep wrangler.

Yes, that exact system will fit!

Is the dually meant for towing? if so Just do a leveling kit.

Carli Suspension is designed around the application of a Solid Front Axle.

Sorry, as of right now there aren't Carli products for anything other than solid axle Ram and Ford trucks!

What year tuck?

We will be very soon!

It will ride better due to the shock/spring tuning on the Carli system. We have done this same comparison with one of their kits, but we didn't have the cameras rolling!

@@CJCOffRoad would actually love to see that comparison. Maybe get the cameras rolling and show some outside and inside shots so we can get the full effect. Videos like these can be very persuasive when customers are looking to spend $3-4k vs $$5-8k. I myself would like to see what difference I'm paying for.

I may be a bit late. But I went from the bds 4” to a Carli pintop. Night and day difference.

Pablo which was better?

There are a plenty of Carli options that are very similar price wise the the compared kit that still ride much better. There have been a lot of arguments on forums etc as to the differences in the kits so we made a video to answer some of the questions. Thanks for watching!

6 in kits from carli are 5-8k minimum, at least for my truck. definitely pricey stuff compared to what’s on the market, but hey... you get what you pay for

@@CJCOffRoad I've never seen a Carli system that wasn't at least double the comparable lift kit. Understandable though considering how much nicer the Carli systems are, you get what you pay for either route.

Same theory applies!

No, Ram and Ford only for these Carli systems!

@@CJCOffRoad thank you for the reply

hard to not get a carried away with a ride that good! haha

No this is for Ram HD trucks only.

@@CJCOffRoad lame! you would make bank if you did!

That depends on which system you run and what truck you have. If you have issues with heavy towing, the Carli long travel airbags are always a great option.

Rough country maybe

I thought about looking into it. I have a suspicion that some suspension companies are using parts from the same manufacturer and just throwing their name on it.

Yes, give us a call!

Yes sir. I will. Thanks for the reply.

I for one am interested in Siafu’s comment -specifically, the “my truck doesn’t ride like it did before and I want it back to OEM”, and the mpg hit comments. I understand that altering the height of the vehicle will cause a slight mpg decrease, but just how much of a hit would be taken when installing a 2” leveling Carli system, or Pintop 2.5? Would it be that horrible? Also, just how “bad” is the ride from the same 2” Carli leveling or 2.5 Pintop system, with Kings, compared to say stock form? Can you speak from personal experience everyday driving for a Carli system? Is there anything you would recommend in place of the Carli system that I referenced with regards to ride comfort and mpg?

For a lift kit what you said is true, but not a full suspension system. Only thing you will lose is MPGs and payload. Everything else improves.

These trucks are still very capable of hauling, a slightly reduced capacity does not necessarily mean 1500 capacities. Thanks for watching!

For us guys that need to haul AND off road, and don't want to buy and maintain 2 vehicles, this system is perfect...Just add air bags to your coils and the max factory payload and towing ratings are returned (much cheaper than 2nd vehicle)...Now you have best of both worlds!

Or just buy a leveling kit and keep the factory rear.

Hey Jay, your assumption is a little off! With some quick googling you can see that Carli suspension systems are some of the hardest charging off road suspension systems available for Ford and Ram diesel trucks!

CJC Off Road I agreed with you on the off road no doubt brother . My comment was referring to heavy hauling/towing.

@@jaydoucette3353 Anyone towing heavy doesn’t lift their truck. The mall crawlers that do and tow...well look at them going down the highway and shake your head. Carli stuff is the best on the market

Who lifts minivans?

Most Chevy are Crap trucks off road is why.

One is a lift kit meant to fit larger tires the other is a suspenion system.

Dillon A Miata may ride better than a Lambo as far as ride quality, but that is subjective.
