This Carli 3.25" Backcountry system is specifically designed and tuned for factory auto leveling air suspension equipped Ram 2500 trucks. Unlike other systems on the market that "fit" these trucks, this system was designed from the ground up for them and maintains all factory functions, and even has shocks that are uniquely tuned for the air rear end. The Backcountry is a perfect fit for daily driver trucks that want a little more control and off road capability than you can get from the Commuter non reservoir shocks.
3.25″ Leveling Coil Springs: Your truck will sit 3”-3.5” higher in the front (cab configuration dependent) with 50% more suspension travel than the factory platform thanks to the taller, lighter rate coil springs. These springs are shot-peened, pre-set and powder coated to ensure optimal performance and finish longevity!
Front, Adjustable Track Bar: When lifting the front end of a straight axle truck, the front axle is pulled off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed. Three inches of front lift equates to an axle shifted toward the driver’s side ¾” and, in the radius arm equipped Rams, lightened caster and slight rearward axle shift. This system includes an Adjustable Track Bar to push the axle back toward the passenger side and provide a stronger link with less deflection for the lifted application.
Front Bump Stop Drop Brackets: Ensures proper cycling of the front suspension withe the extended travel shocks provided.
Radius Arm Drop Brackets: Ensure perfect caster alignment (no need to max adjustments), correct geometry and spring pressures ensuring no bow in your coil spring.
Choice of Torsion Sway Bar or Drop Brackets for the Factory Sway Bar: When pairing added down-travel with the taller ride height, the position of the factory, front sway bar will need to be altered as well. For this, we offer two options; Billet Sway Bar Drop Brackets or the replacement Torsion Sway Bar. The Billet Drop Blocks shift the sway bar down and forward to ensure the factory end links cycle properly throughout the entire extended travel range. Carli’s optional Torsion sway bar removes the entire factory sway bar assembly replacing it with a torsion bar supported by fabricated drop brackets and delrin bushings. Fabricated sway bar arms and dual 5/8” FK heim end links round off the package. This is the single best bang for the buck, ride-quality upgrade offered by Carli Suspension.
Shock Package:The Backcountry 2.0 system is designed for people seeking the best ride on and off-road on a budget; perfect for those that want to have a little dirt-road fun in their 8,500lb truck without losing the on-road ride quality or usability for which the truck was designed. You’re no longer limited to the highway while gravel roads become uninteresting as you can drive them at speed with one hand on the wheel. Utilizing Carli SPEC 2.0” Remote Reservoir Shocks, we’ve developed a shock tune that delivers all around comfort and ride quality designed for on-road, in town, highway, towing/hauling as well as slow to mid speed off road use.
Rear Track Bar Drop Bracket: Drops the factory rear track bar to be as flat as possible at the center of travel ensuring minimal “yaw” – side to side wag of rear suspension during the suspension cycle.
Rear Extended Sway Bar End Links: Accommodates the dropped geometry of the rear end.
Airbag Spacer: Ensures proper airbag position for lifted height.
Extended Rear Sensor Link: Full Metal (steel ends, aluminum body) Links to set the ride height.
Rear Bump Stop Drop Brackets: The bump stop drops work with the airbag spacer to ensure the bag is protected in its new position.

Customer Reviews
Put the kit on the truck last week after waiting for some Fuel wheels on backorder. The kit took a bit to install at home on the driveway, but is doable if you have large tools available and some angle drills. The kit however performs AMAZING after install. MUCH better ride than stock and looks KILLER with the 37" tires. I have had no rubbing either with 13.5 wide tires and no trimming at all.
