What rear suspension components are needed to complete this leveling kit?

This base kit requires a separate rear leaf spring option. You can choose between the Progressive Add-A-Pack, which replaces the factory overload, or the Full Progressive Leaf Pack, which replaces the entire factory leaf spring assembly. Both options are designed to work with the front lift and improve rear suspension performance.

Do I need to change my front sway bar with this lift kit?

Yes, when lifting the front end by 3 inches, the factory sway bar's position needs to be adjusted. This system offers optional extended sway bar end links or a replacement torsion sway bar kit to properly reset the sway bar engagement points.

What is the warranty on the Carli SPEC 2.0 shocks?

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 2011-2013 Ram 2500 Diesel a significant upgrade in ride comfort and capability, this Carli Backcountry 2.0 Leveling System is a solid choice. It's designed to lift the front of your truck by about 3 inches, which not only changes the stance but also dramatically increases suspension travel by 50% over stock. This means you can tackle rougher terrain and enjoy a smoother ride, whether you're on the highway, a gravel road, or even some slower off-road trails.

At the heart of this system are the Carli SPEC 2.0" remote reservoir shocks. These shocks are built with durable 6063 aluminum bodies and feature a 5/8" hardened steel shaft. They're tuned specifically by Carli to offer a balanced feel that works well for daily driving, towing, and light off-roading. The remote reservoirs help dissipate heat, keeping the damping consistent even under heavy use. The system also includes taller, lighter-rate front coil springs to achieve the lift and improve the ride. To ensure your front axle stays properly centered after the lift, an adjustable track bar is included, which is crucial for maintaining proper steering geometry and stability.

Keep in mind that this base system requires additional components to complete the installation and achieve the full benefits. You'll need to select a rear leaf spring option, either the Progressive Add-A-Pack or the Full Progressive Leaf Pack, depending on your needs for load capacity and ride comfort. Additionally, you'll need to address the front sway bar; Carli offers extended sway bar end links or a replacement torsion sway bar kit. For optimal performance with larger tires, consider adding Carli's high-clearance control arms.
