Carli 2.5" Leveling System, 2013-2020 Ram 3500 Trucks
| Front Lift | Rear Lift | Front Travel | Rear Travel | Shock Diameter | Tire Fitment |

| 2.5″ | 0-1″ | 8.3″ | 11″ | 2.0 | 35″ x 12.5″ |
Carli Suspension has just released the all new 2.5″ front leveling system that delivers 50% more suspension travel than the stock Dodge Ram 3500. Custom blueprinted coils are paired with extended travel Fox shocks to increase overall control and comfort, without breaking the bank.
*2019+ trucks: This system will not work on the auto-level air-assist Rams*
**2019+ DRW Trucks: Use PN CS-DLEVEL-13-D**
1" Block NOT required for DRW
*2013-18 trucks: 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. We recommend you measure the truck as it often takes less than 2.5″ of front lift to level the Air-Assist Rams*
This Carli Suspension 2.5" Leveling kit is designed for the customer that keeps their truck on the road with 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 Fox 2.0” IFP Shocks that have been custom tuned, in house, for superior ride quality and handling. The rear shocks are also included with this system and have been custom tuned to maximize the ride quality for the factory rear leaf springs. In 2019, Ram lowered the rear of the 2500 trucks – for this reason, we’re now providing a 1″ Billet Block and U-Bolts to fit the larger AAM 12″ Axle (4.25″ Axle Tubes). As the rear springs remain unmodified aside from the lift block, 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, this is the perfect kit. The 2.5” lift height doesn’t require the geometry correction of our 3” Systems.
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 the Carli Adjustable Track Bar. Further, ride quality can be substantially increased with the addition of the Carli Torsion Sway Bar. We recommend a 35” tire on a wheel that’s no more than 9” wide with 5.5”-6” Backspace for optimal clearnace. 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. Some will choose to go with a 20" and that will also work, but the ride will not be quite a comfortable. The addition of a Carli Low-Mount Steering Stabilizer is also 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 system with minimal lift and part inclusion. We recommend 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. 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.
