What rear suspension and sway bar options are compatible with this kit?

This base kit requires separate purchase of rear leaf spring options, such as the Progressive Add-A-Pack or Full Progressive Leaf Pack. You will also need to select a sway bar solution, either extended Sway Bar End Links or the replacement Torsion Sway Bar, to complete the installation.

What is the benefit of the remote reservoir shocks?

The remote reservoir shocks help dissipate heat more effectively, which leads to more consistent damping performance, especially during extended use or off-road driving. This results in a more comfortable ride on the highway and better control when tackling rough terrain.

How does the adjustable track bar help with the lift?

When you lift the front of a straight-axle truck, the axle can shift off-center. The adjustable track bar allows you to precisely reposition the front axle back towards its correct center point, ensuring proper alignment and handling.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 2003-2009 Ram 2500 or 3500 diesel a significant upgrade in ride quality and capability, the Carli Backcountry 2.0 Leveling System is a solid choice. This kit is designed to lift the front of your truck by about 3 inches, which also increases front suspension travel by 50% over the factory setup. This means you can tackle rougher terrain and uneven roads with much more confidence and comfort, whether you're on your daily commute or exploring off the beaten path.

At the heart of this system are Carli's custom-tuned SPEC 2.0" remote reservoir shocks. These shocks are built with corrosion-resistant 6063 aluminum bodies, a 5/8" hardened steel chrome-plated shaft, and are fully serviceable. They use a premium 5WT oil to ensure consistent damping across a wide range of temperatures, providing a comfortable ride on the highway and improved performance when you venture off-road. The kit also includes taller, lighter-rate front coil springs to achieve the lift and increased travel. To keep your front axle centered after the lift, an adjustable track bar is included, offering a stronger link with less deflection than stock.

Keep in mind that this base system is designed to be paired with your choice of rear leaf spring options (Progressive Add-A-Pack or Full Progressive Leaf Pack) and a sway bar solution (End Links or Torsion Sway Bar), which are sold separately. These components are crucial for achieving the desired rear lift, enhancing rear suspension performance, and maintaining proper sway control. With the right additions, this system can accommodate up to a 37" tire on 9" wide wheels with 5.75" of backspacing, giving your Ram a more aggressive stance and improved off-road capability.
