Carli Backcountry Leveling Suspension Base 2.5in Lift 2013–2018 Ram 3500 Diesel
The Carli Backcountry 2.0 Leveling Suspension System delivers a strong balance of on-road ride quality, towing control, and mild off-road capability at a reasonable price. Built for Ram 3500 diesel trucks, this system provides a 2.5-inch front lift while maintaining factory rear spring load capacity and improving overall predictability.
This system uses Carli SPEC 2.0-inch remote reservoir shocks custom tuned for highway driving, around-town use, towing, hauling, and slow to mid-speed off-road use. The shocks feature 6063 aluminum construction, anodized corrosion-resistant bodies, 5/8-inch hardened steel chrome-plated shafts, 6061 billet rod ends, 1-piece bushings, full serviceability, rebuildability, and premium 5WT oil for consistent damping across a wide temperature range.
