This system raises the front of the truck 2.5 to 3 inches depending on year and cab configuration, while increasing front suspension travel by 50% over the factory platform with taller, lighter-rate coil springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system features Carli-specific, blueprinted King 2.5-inch remote reservoir 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 ride quality, handling, and control. The Pintop system delivers a strong balance of performance, capability, and value for Ram owners who want a major suspension upgrade without stepping into Carli’s higher-end systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.5 to 3-inch front lift depending on year and
