Carli Suspension
Carli Dominator 3.0 Leveling System Base Kit
The Carli Dominator 3.0 Leveling System is designed for 2010–2013 Ram 2500 and 3500 4x4 diesel trucks, delivering maximum off-road performance without sacrificing on-road control. Built around Carli-tuned King 3.0 inch remote reservoir shocks, linear-rate coils, and supporting front-end geometry upgrades, this system provides a plush yet stable ride with substantially more bottom-out resistance than the Pintop 2.5 system.
Designed for serious enthusiasts, the Dominator is one of Carli’s most capable Ram suspension systems. The base kit can be installed on its own, but pairing it with the correct sway bar and rear leaf spring options is required to unlock the full performance, lift height, and suspension travel potential of the Dominator System.
