37s on oldschool 2 door trucks looks so good. They look like 40s or bigger on a new 4 door. The 5 speed with the 5.9L Cummins 🤤

Finally some second gens!!! Cant wait to see what next.

Love it. It seems to me that a build of this level deserves long arms.

Thanks a lot...I just got my Carli commuter 3.25" kit for my 2014 Ram 3500...now I want to set up my 1996 Dodge 2500 with the same. I am the original owner and have a 4wheel popup camper on it to help with the ride. 380,000 miles and still runs strong...I can't seem to let it go, which makes my wife crazy but use it on my own for those trips to the coast :)

I can't tell you how much more I want to move after seeing that truck. Trucks don't look that good 6 months off the lot here in Ontario Canada. Love it !!!!! Thanks for sharing.

That’s one amazing looking 20 year old truck.

Great job to the team at CJC

That dash carpet sets it off! So sick!

Hard to beat this truck. These Gen 2s look like they are looking for a fight with this set up. Well done!

What an awesome find! That thing looks cherry!

Awesome video. Audio seemed really rough. Just figured I’d mention. But can’t wait to see more on this truck. I love that you guys showed some of the work being done to truck. Please show more shop footage.

I picked up a very stock 02 5spd 4x4 reg cab cummins recently and have started looking into suspension and steering upgrades as it's a bit rough without weight in the bed. I primarily drive bumpy windy roads at 20-35mph and need to find a package that handles that well when empty and with a full load. Your video was really helpful in learning about what to replace going forward. I'll be sure to check out the website when I get closer to buying parts for it.

Such a clean build man

Nice truck. 👍. I have 1999 Ram 2500 with the Sport trim package. Same color. Very impressive.

i wish carli made a 5 or 6” system for our second gen rams, i want 37s to bad but on a leveling system they are a bit too stuffed. i have the carli 3” level system and love it, i’m going up to 35s soon. ask the boys over at Carli to make a 6” system and i’m sure it would sell like candy!

About time some 2nd gen love… I have a 2001 sport in Amber fire pearl, 6 speed 4x4.

Very nice build .

Absolute beauty...

Cool truck!

Awwwww, she's a manual 🥰

This is probably the perfect second gen I’d love to have that suspension on mine

Be a bad ass truck for chasing tornados

I daily mine with this kit, flipped shackles in the rear and now sway bars, cushy

That truck is beautiful. I feel waay better about all the money I’ve thrown at my 2nd Gen now. Haha! I’m likely to go the pin top route after seeing truck prices go up and up. Thanks for a great video.

Sick build, I literally put the same exact set up on my 2nd gen dually, just waiting on my 2” spacers for the rear wheels to finally have it complete & add a pack leaf springs. It’s also a night day ride difference, wouldn’t go with any other set up if anyone has one of these trucks.

Looking great! I'm about to start the first wave of big time suspension mods on my quad cab swapped 12 valve, so this is timely. 👍

We need to see how these builds perform off-road

I need to find a way to offset the axle breather for carli long travel bags that interfere with my 2nd gen I do have that lift leaf pack from you guys as well but just the bags is my only prob

Definitely need more of the 2nd gen videos these trucks don't get enough attention and they hardly ever get a quality suspension system very nice truck

Great looking truck! I would look at a disc brake swap for the rear next.

have a second gen ram 1500 that im looking to beef up the front end making it good for off road in the mountains and pulling cars back on to the road in the winter months. will this set up be good for a 1500 or just the 2500

This is sick, now sell it to me!

Finally

And I was literally wishing for a video of this truck after talking with one of your reps earlier Planning on the dominator myself with bags

Amazing! If ever you decide you want to sell it make me your first call!

Keep checking to see if there’s gonna be anymore videos of the truck???

What track bar are you running on truck?

Love these kinds of videos of the older trucks 🙌. Why don’t you guys have a kit for 99-06 gm trucks?

Nice! Just curious which amp research kit you went with to fit on the truck. Thanks! And thank you for the great content

My 95 on stock suspension and stock tires is in need of some upgrades

I was able to use 37" BFG Mud Terrains on my 1999 2500 24V without hitting the fenders by just putting on a set of leveling springs in the front end and using the factory 17x 8 Aluminum rims. I ran it that way for years...

congrats on the nice find! how many miles on the rig, looks really clean.

Still waiting on a video for the long bed mega you guys did!

I'm curious about those Amp steps and they were mounted. Also I went with Thurne springs on the front of my truck but i have the 2nd gen drivers side lean. My OCD is killing me and probably going to install an 1" spacer to get it level

You guys starting to get 37” Nittos coming in? I’m going on month 5 of backorder.

I just bought the Carli leafs for my 01 2500 from you guys, is there anyway you guys can tell me the measurement from the hub to the bed? Just curious how much lift you get from these springs.

what aftermarket headlights do you have and how do you like them? you running leds or halogens?

Fantastic Video! I have 2Gen only owner. Who in Phoenix would you recommend for a similar build? Not against bringing rig out to SoCal Cheers JD

please do a carli lift on a 80s square body chevy

what other modifications were needed to run 37's?

What track bar was on the truck? Been thinking about upgrading mine.

You mentioned this truck is a 5spd. Did you/are you going to re gear? Assuming this 2500 came with 3.55s. My 97 5spd with 3.55s has 35s and is at the limit of being able to start in 2nd gear.

Were the stock shackles used when switched to the full progressive leaf packs?

I have a 2nd gen 12 valve longbed will this exact setup be the same

What is that tool bolted to the hub at 2:46?? I’ve been a mechanic a long time and I don’t know what it is

Could you retrofit a Carli suspension for a first gen Cummins?

I wish my 2nd gen was rust free and not a salvaged title. (60% of the wiring has been dead ended or spliced together)

What would I need to do to my 2nd gen Cummins 4x4 to run 35s with out rubbing lock to lock

Do you guys sell that suspension set up?

Which front bumper is that?

Holy man that truck is mint must of paid 40g for that bad boy?

What is the name of those wheels again?

Let me know if you ever what to sell that truck

Could you put a link the the parts?

What’s under that dash mat lol

Very nice.Until Brandon gets ahold of it.

I would’ve left it stock personally. I think it looked better. The 37’s looked to big from a side profile but looked too then from the back.

this and the 3rd gen are identical copies of just diesel 2nd and 3rd gen

Needs gears

You waisted your money buying a manual transmission truck the dodge manual transmissions are worst then the automatic as far as durability you could have bought a stock automatic much much cheaper and installed the zf6 witch is ten million times stronger and smoother shorter throw just all around much better
