These control arms are 1\/2\" longer than O.E.M and are built out of mild steel box tube. TIG welded to the end of each arm is a greasable17-4 stainless steel ball center surrounded by a proprietary bushing and joint washers. Having these spherical joints on each end eliminates resistance caused by rubber bushing style set ups, in return creating a smoother ride. These control arms are finished off with a Satin Black powder coat to ensure long term protection from corrosion.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTHE DETAILS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe 2003-2013 Ram 2500\/3500 utilizes a 5-Link front suspension. Comprising this link system are upper and lower control arms to hold the axle fore\/aft while the track bar serves as the lateral link to minimize lateral shift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen lifting the front end of a straight axle truck, you’re essentially pushing the axle further away from the frame at ride-height. As the travel is not perfectly linear, the new ride height will set the front axle off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe systems Carli designs for these trucks range from 2.5″-3″ of front lift. Three inches of front lift equates to an axle shifted toward the driver’s side 3\/4” and back toward the cab 1\/2”. Although this is perfectly operable when the factory control arms and track bar are in good condition, its always recommended to upgrade the trackbar with an adjustable unit to shift the axle back toward the passenger side and provide a stronger link with less deflection for the lifted application, and a set of extended control arms to shift the axle forward to its new center of travel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe construction of these arms starts with 0.120″ Box Steel mated to in-house machined joint-cups. The mild-steel center sections are welded inboard of center to offset the link as far from the tire as possible for optimal tire clearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarli prides themselves on their joints. In a market abundant with hat-bushing and crush sleeve equipped arms, these spherical bearing arms are leaps ahead of the competition. As described above, the travel of the Ram’s front axle is non linear. It travels up and down and back and forth. This is a non issue for a standard 3-piece hat bushing. The problem is in the substantial lateral shift of the axle thanks to the track-bar design. This side to side movement falls outside the operating range of hat bushings meant for a linear load effectively hot-spotting and egging out the bushing hole as they bind when the axle articulates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe answer? A spherical joint design allowing far more lateral misalignment in addition to the up and down\/fore and aft movement. At the heart of the joint assembly, you’ll find Carli's in-house machined 17-4 stainless ball center. This is surrounded by a proprietary bushings and joint washers. The assembly is preloaded into the cup and retained with a snap-ring. Last but certainly not least, a zerk fitting is added. for ease of servicing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the years, Carli learned a LOT about bushings. Originally, they started with Currie Johnny Joints. Although they were high quality joints and better than anything on the market (at the time), there was room for improvement. Now, ball centers are machined in-house from 17-4 stainless bar-stock. This is a much more corrosion resistant material in addition to being higher strength. While still using Currie, Carli had seen some stress fractures in the joints at the Ram torque specs,but the replacement in-house machined ball centers took without issue! While designing them, they also took the opportunity to oversize the mating surfaces for the most contact area to the control arm frame\/axle mounts. They’re substantially larger than the Currie and 0.050″ oversized from even a factory control arm!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNext up, Carli went to work on a project with Energy Suspension designing new bushings for the ball centers. The Currie were great quality, but often difficult to get grease into. It wasn’t uncommon to need to articulate the truck to line the zerk fitting port with the split in the bushings. The redesigned bushings have grease channels engineered into all surfaces to ensure easy greasing and proper grease migration. Further, they’re not interlocked like the old bushings allowing more room for grease and easier joint articulation.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carli Suspension","offers":[{"title":"2003-2009","offer_id":52077505675629,"sku":"CS-CA-MS-03","price":870.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2010-2013","offer_id":52077505708397,"sku":"CS-CA-MS-10","price":870.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/2487\/2301\/files\/CS-CA-MS_41b8f073-9d7d-45fa-909b-a8bf2e3ca55d.jpg?v=1752691584"},{"product_id":"carli-rear-lift-leaf-spring-03-09-ram","title":"Carli Suspension Full Progressive Leaf Spring Pack 1\" Rear Lift 03-13 Dodge Ram 2500\/3500","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese full length progressive spring packs are built by Deaver Spring Mfg specifically for Carli Suspension. These springs were designed as a two stage spring pack, enabling the truck to still have an admirable weight capacity while offering smooth and comfortable street driving performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese leaf springs were designed to carry the weight of the Dodge Ram Truck, offering a moderate load capacity, while producing a smoother, more comfortable ride. This was done by changing the upper rate of the spring pack, thus allowing full control of the rate from the top to the bottom. So as the spring progresses, the rate increases. When a load is applied the spring rate will increase as it compresses onto the secondary bottom stack of the spring pack. This was built in to reduce any additional squat or sag under heavy load. The upper rates are much lower than factory to give an improved ride quality for daily driving, especially freeway expansion joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main leaf was designed a set distance longer, which moved the truck's shackle position back. This gives almost a zero rate effect on the freeway when empty. When you move the shackle position back, it eases the first movement for the axle, rendering smoother travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe center pin location was changed which allows for full travel with larger tires. Running OEM springs, with a 37 tire, at full compression, the tire will come in contact with the front of the rear fender well, creating unwanted damage. With Carli's center pin location moved rearward, at full compression with 37's, the tire will move all the way up into the center of the wheel well. This provides for maximum wheel travel with larger tires and improves the street driving of the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eFULL SPRING PACK WEIGHT CARRYING AND SQUAT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe big question is how much will the full spring pack squat under load... due to the fact that the upper leafs are a lighter weight, the suspension will squat more than O.E.M. or with the 5 leaf add-a-pack. The full spring pack will carry the same load, however it has more lighter weight progressive leafs, which means you will have to drop farther into the pack in order to get to the higher spring rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eIMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the size and weight of this product, it must be shipped via truck freight on a pallet and we must charge shipping.
