Carli Pintop 2.5 Suspension System Base 3.25in Lift 2014–2022 Ram 2500 Coil Rear
The Carli Pintop 2.5 Suspension System is Carli’s jack-of-all-trades suspension system for Ram 2500 trucks, built for owners who want a major improvement in ride quality, control, and suspension performance. This system raises the front of the truck 3 to 3.5 inches depending on cab configuration and increases front suspension travel by 50% over the factory platform with taller, lighter-rate coil springs.
This system features Carli-specific, blueprinted King 2.5-inch shocks on all four corners. Carli designed custom pistons to establish proper base flow rates for the heavy-duty truck platform, then tuned the shocks in-house for improved on-road comfort and off-road control. The King shocks are finished with shafts machined and polished from a solid piece of 17-4 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
Key Features:
-
3 to 3.5-inch front lift depending on cab configuration
-
1 to 1.5-inch rear lift with Carli progressive coil springs
-
50% more front suspension travel than the factory platform
-
Carli-specific King 2.5-inch shocks on all four corners
-
2.5-inch shock body provides 55% more piston surface area than a 2.0-inch shock
-
Custom Carli shock pistons for proper base flow rates
-
17-4 stainless steel shock shafts for durability and corrosion resistance
-
Taller, lighter-rate front coil springs improve ride quality and wheel travel
-
Rear progressive coil springs improve rear ride quality and control
-
Radius arm drop brackets to recenter caster adjustment and shift the axle forward
-
Adjustable track bar to recenter the front axle
-
Front and rear bump stop drops

-
Designed to improve on-road ride quality and light- to medium-duty off-road performance
Notes:
-
Tuned and rides best with 18-inch wheels and 37-inch tires.
-
18-inch wheels and 37-inch tires are recommended.
-
Rear progressive coil springs reduce payload and towing capacity by 15% from a stock 2500.
-
When lifting the front of a straight axle truck, the front axle is pulled off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed.
-
Three inches of front lift shifts the axle toward the driver side approximately 3/4 inch and, on radius arm equipped Rams, lightens caster and creates slight rearward axle shift.
-
Included radius arm drop brackets recenter caster adjustment and shift the axle forward to its new center of travel.
-
Included bump stop drops ensure the shocks cycle within their designed travel range.
-
Billet sway bar drop brackets shift the sway bar down and forward to help the factory end links cycle properly throughout the extended travel range.
-
Carli’s optional torsion sway bar replaces the factory sway bar assembly with a torsion bar supported by fabricated drop brackets and Delrin bushings.
-
The optional torsion sway bar is one of Carli’s best ride-quality upgrades.
-
King shock oil is rated to -55°F.
-
King shocks use plated steel bodies. If exposed to inclement weather for extended periods, Carli recommends wrapping the shocks in 3M film to provide a replaceable moisture barrier.
Wheel and Tire Notes:
-
Fits up to a 37-inch tire when using wheels no more than 9 inches wide with 5.75 to 6 inches of backspacing.
-
A 12.5-inch-wide tire should fit with no rubbing on the factory radius arm and only minor trimming required.
-
A 13.5-inch-wide tire will require more trimming and slightly more offset to fit properly.
-
35-inch tires will fit with very minimal trimming, if any.
-
Carli recommends an 18-inch diameter wheel for optimal ride quality.
-
Recommended tire range is 35 to 37-inch E-rated tires.
-
Recommended unloaded tire pressure is 45 PSI front and 40 PSI rear.
