Carli Dodge RAM 2003-2009 2500/3500 3" Backcountry 2.0 Suspension System
CUSTOM TUNED // Unlike your average lift, Carli Suspension uses only custom tuned shocks. Each shock package goes through months of testing, development, tuning, and valving. The Back Country system is tuned to be an all around set up bridging the gap between the Commuter and King shock systems. Have a truck that does 90% street duty with a little off road mixed in? This is the system for you.
CONTROL ARMS // Hand fabricated and welded in California with the highest quality joints for improved flex, these arms are a high strength control arm replacement. To run 37’s, you will need the high clearance fabricated arms that have a notch for tire clearance.
SWAY BAR UPGRADE // Eliminates the harshness caused by the stiff factory sway bar, letting your suspension do its job and move independently. This is one of the single biggest improvements you can make to your truck’s ride. To keep the factory ride, select the end link option. (TSB is for 03+ only)
LEAF PACK OPTIONS // Balancing ride and capability, the add a pack retains factory payload but improves small bump compliance by increasing the leaf count and reducing leaf thickness in half the pack. With the full leaf pack, a 15% payload reduction gets the best possible ride quality from the rear of the truck. Small chatter or large hit, this leaf pack will swallow it whole. The HD pack is ONLY for chase trucks or trucks with over 2,000lbs in bed at all times.
*Shock reservoirs are now black*
Carli's Backcountry 2.0 system is designed for people seeking the best ride on and off-road on a budget. The Back Country is made for anyone that wants to have a little dirt-road fun in their 8,500lb truck without losing the on-road ride quality or function. Utilizing custom Fox 2.0 Remote Reservoir Shocks, Carli has developed a shock 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 Fox 2.0s are hard-anodized, aluminum shocks that will stand the test of time, even when exposed to the elements. They’re constructed with bushings in the rod ends for long-lasting, maintenance free performance. This system rides best with the full progressive leaf springs and 17” or 18” wheels on, 35” Toyo M/T at 40F/35R. Both of the aforementioned are strongly suggested. We also recommend the purchase of a set of extended control arms to shift the axle forward to its new center of travel. High clearance arms are required to clear a 37” tire.
**2010-present vehicles have 2 possible sizes of Sway Bar End Links. Place a socket on the nut that compresses the rubber End Link bushings; fitment of an 18mm socket will indicate the need for the 12mm part number.
This system fits Dodge Ram 2500 and Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 trucks from 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009.
