Description
Description
The Starter System includes the Front Leveling Kit and optionally a rear Add-A-Pack with matching Rear Shocks. This system is designed for people seeking a leveled vehicle with more performance and ride quality than a generic spacer lift, while also improving rear ride quality. The Carli Signature Series front shocks have been custom tuned in-house for superior ride quality.
The Details:
- Your truck will sit 2.5”-3” higher in the front (year/cab configuration dependent) with 50% more suspension travel than the factory platform thanks to the taller, lighter rate coil springs.
- The included front & rear Carli Signature Series Shocks are longer to accommodate the extended travel.
- Shocks feature Zinc plating, Clear Coat for corrosion resistance, quality bushings, and protective boots on the shafts.
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty to ensure long-lasting performance and unmatched ride quality.
When pairing added down-travel with the taller ride height, the position of the factory front sway bar will need to be altered. We offer two options (unless 1994-2002, then there’s only one):
- Extended Sway Bar End Links: Equipped with ½” FK Rod-Ends and in-house machined 17-4 stainless bodies extended over stock. Factory pillow-bushings are re-used.
- Replacement Torsion Sway Bar: Removes the factory sway bar assembly, replacing it with a torsion bar supported by fabricated drop brackets and Delrin bushings. Includes fabricated sway bar arms and dual 5/8” FK heim end links. This is Carli’s best bang-for-your-buck ride-quality upgrade.
When lifting the front end of a straight axle truck, the front axle is pulled off-center unless proper linkages are addressed. Three inches of front lift equates to an axle shifted toward the driver’s side ¾” and back toward the cab ½”. We recommend an adjustable track bar to shift the axle back toward the passenger side and a set of extended control arms to shift the axle forward to its new center of travel.
In the rear, the Progressive Add-A-Pack can be optioned to replace the unyielding factory overload spring, improving comfort, traction, and predictability.
Wheel and Tire:
- Fits up to a 35” tire with stock control arms (extended Mild Steel Control Arms recommended).
- If running factory wheels, we recommend an All Terrain 35” tire to avoid rubbing.
- For 37” tire fitment, pair with High-Clearance Control Arms and Adjustable Track Bar on a wheel with 5.75” of backspacing.
- The more rubber, the better the small bump compliance at proper inflation pressures. Ride will firm up as wheel diameter increases.
