03-09 RAM 2500/3500 DIESEL DOMINATOR 3.0 LONG ARM SYSTEM
Brand: Carli Suspension
SKU: CS-DD30-03-D-LA
The Dominator 3.0” Lift system is a no-compromise utilitarian, all-around suspension system. The on-road ride is fantastic – it’s the softest Carli offers; the off-road ride will run circles around the Performance 2.5.
Allowing you to drive to the capability of the chassis without worrying that you’ve equipped the truck with enough shock to destroy the truck around the suspension.
If it’s in the budget, this is the system we’d recommend for every Ram owner.

Description:
The Dominator 3.0” Lift system is a no-compromise utilitarian, all-around suspension system. The front end is converted to Carli's Fabricated Long-Arm System and paired with a Torsion Sway Bar for unrivaled articulation and axle travel.
The rear is outfitted with your choice of Full Progressive Leaf Spring Packs and the King Shocks are longer-travel than our short arm systems with a long-arm specific tuning profile. This system is our personal favorite as it would suit anyone’s taste. The on-road ride is fantastic – it’s the softest Carli offers
The Details:
This system requires customers to cut off the factory control arm mounts in favor of the Carli Drop Brackets to house our internally gusseted, fully fabricated Long Arm System.
These arms are over 50% longer than the factory arms boasting 3/16” construction, internal gusseting, extended travel capability, more linear travel stroke and a better ride quality given their length and position parallel to the ground.
To take advantage of the Long Arm’s capability, Carli included a 6.25” tall, slide-over-design shock tower to ease installation and accommodate the longer (12” Travel) shocks. Included 1” front bump stop drops and limit straps ensure customers can dish repetitive beatings to their King 3.0” shocks with the confidence of full & safe utilization of the shock’s travel.
In a short-arm truck, it’s not uncommon to see 7” of up-travel (metal to metal) and 3” of down-travel. The combination of the long arm system’s 6.25” tall tower and 1” bump drop allows for our 12” travel shock and shifts the front axle’s operating range down 1”; the result, 3” more down-travel when compared to a short-arm system only sacrificing 1” of up-travel.
This is a far more balanced setup spec’d with 6” of up travel and 6” of downtravel ensuring the front end maintains contact over rough terrain.
This system boasts Carli-specific, blueprinted, Long-Travel King 3.0” shocks on all four corners.
Wheel and Tire:
This system will fit up to a 37”x12.5” tire with on 17”-18” wheels with 4.5” of backspacing. Significant trimming of stock fenders and front bumper will be required. If considering Fiberglass Fenders, a 37×13.5” wide tire would be possible. This system was tuned with 17” wheels on, 37” Toyo M/T at 40F/35R.
The more rubber, the better the small bump compliance will be at proper inflation pressures. The ride will firm up as you go larger in wheel diameter. For more details, see our article on wheel and tire selection and tire pressures.
