Carli Pintop Leveling System Base 2.5/3.5in Lift 2011-16 Ford F250/350 Diesel
The Carli Pintop Leveling System is one of Carli’s most popular and well-rounded suspension upgrades, delivering exceptional on-road comfort with controlled, confidence-inspiring off-road capability. Designed and tuned in-house, this system smooths harsh ride characteristics while maintaining stability and predictability whether you're daily driving or pushing the limits on rough terrain.
Built around Carli-specific, blueprinted King 2.5” remote reservoir shocks, this system provides 55% more piston surface area than standard 2.0” shocks for improved damping, heat dissipation, and overall performance. With custom pistons, 17-4 stainless steel shock shafts, and optimized tuning for heavy-duty diesel trucks, the Pintop system delivers outstanding ride quality per dollar. Increased front ride height, added wheel travel, and included components like the adjustable track bar, stainless brake lines, and caster shims all work together to improve handling, stability, and suspension geometry.
