The Carli King 2.5 pintop system is our most popular, all around suspension system for the Ford platform. The on road ride is terrific, sharp edges are rounded and light to medium duty offroad escapades become completely controlled and uneventful. This system is also a towing beast, with ample control in the shocks to handle the weight of the truck plus your trailer without sway or feedback. Truly a do it all setup, we love how these F-450s handle on this system!
The truck will sit 4.5” higher in the front with this lift and have more wheel travel thanks to the taller, Progressive Rate Coil Springs. Radius Arm Drop Brackets reset the pivot point and keep the travel linear for the best ride while the Sway Bar Link & Drop Brackets Kit resets the sway bar engagement point. The End Link/sway bar drop kit is listed as an “option”, but it’s necessary to run, unless you opt for the torsion sway bar which dramatically improves ride, but isn't recommended for trucks with in bed campers or a high center of gravity.
Bump Stop Drops protect the shocks from over-compressing, the Adjustable Track Bar centers the front axle and Stainless Brake Lines firm up braking and ensure there is enough line for the newfound travel. To round off the front end, we include Caster Shims to correct alignment.
This kit REQUIRES the addition of a rear lift option, unless you want a front high stance. Please note that the addition of Carli rear leaf springs will dramatically reduce payload/ towing capacity with an F-450 in favor of better ride quality. We offer a Carli rear airbag kit which has a 2,000 pound capacity per bag, but that will not retain complete factory capacity on these F-450 trucks. If your trailer tongue weight or camper is over about 3,000 pounds, you'll want to stick with the stock rear leaf springs and select the rear block kit option.
This system fits Ford F-450 4x4 trucks from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024+
