The Carli Backcountry 2.0 Leveling Suspension System is designed for Ram 3500 owners looking for improved on-road ride quality and mild off-road capability at a reasonable price. This 2.5-inch system provides a leveled stance while addressing key suspension components for improved wheel travel, ride control, durability, and everyday usability.
This system uses Carli SPEC 2.0-inch remote reservoir shocks custom tuned for all-around comfort during 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, full serviceability, rebuildability, 6061 billet rod ends, 1-piece bushings, and premium 5WT oil for consistent damping across a wide temperature range.
