Quick Ship SKU #: CS-D3-COM-CS-94-D Carli 3" Commuter 2.0 Suspension System 94-02 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins

Staying on the highway still means you deserve some comfort. The Commuter 2.0 system is designed for people seeking the best on-road ride quality on a budget. Utilizing front and rear 2.0" internal reservoir shocks, Carli Signature shocks have a tune that delivers all-around comfort and ride quality designed for on-road, in-town, highway, and towing/hauling.

Let's admit it, the majority of us don't take our trucks off-road, and in the rare occurrences we do, we are usually going pretty slow. If you've come to that reality, why would you want to install a performance suspension system? Well, that answer is quite simple....the ride. Heavy-duty trucks ride rough, doesn't matter what anyone says. Sure, they've gotten better over the years, but they're still neck-jarring when you slam into deep potholes, especially when the truck is unloaded. Carli Suspension has engineered a suspension system for daily drivers, introducing the COMMUTER 2.0.

COMMUTER 2.0 BASE KIT

For a truck that needs a smooth ride and enhanced handling on a variety of road conditions, Carli Suspension has covered all the bases. The Base Kit starts with multi-rate coils that give you a smoother ride and better stability when you need them most. A multi-rate coil also reduces stress on components like your shocks and bushings. The Carli SPEC 2.0" Internal Floating Piston (IFP) Shocks that come with the COMMUTER 2.0 system are tuned to deliver comfort wherever the road takes you or what you decide to take behind your rig. The mono-tube, Carli SPEC 2.0 boasts 6063 Aluminum construction, anodized body for corrosion resistance, 5/8″ hardened steel chrome plated shaft, full serviceability, and rebuildability and are built with 1-piece bushings in the 6061 billet rod-ends. These shocks are spec’d with a premium 5WT oil to balance lubricity, consistent damping and the widest available range in temperature variation. And by improving on ride quality, you also improve the safety of your truck as well with it's predictable behaviour, better traction, and control.

REAR LEAF SPRING OPTIONS

Your truck will sit 2.5"-3" higher in the front (year/cab configuration dependent) with 50% more suspension travel than the factory platform thanks to the taller, lighter rate coil springs. The rear is lifted via your choice of Carli's progressive add-a-pack or full replacement progressive leaf spring. The Progressive Add-A-Pack replaces the factory lower overload with a 5-Leaf, progressive pack that changes the final rate of the spring pack keeping the rear planted while increasing traction and predictability. The full replacement springs are intended for those who want to maximize wheel travel (capable of up to 15") and minimize axle wrap due to their block-eliminating design. The Commuter 2.0 System has been developed with the Full Progressive option. While the Add-a-Packs will function there will also be a noticeable difference in ride-quality. Additionally, if you select "No" Leaf Spring option it will result in an unknown ride quality and height.

LEAF SPRING SPECIFICATIONS:

• Add-A-Pack: Replaces rear, lower overload spring for increased ride quality. Includes U-Bolts and Center Pins.
  
• Standard Full Spring Pack: Capable of 15" of wheel travel. Will reduce payload capacity by 15%. REQUIRES BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE - 5" Bump Stop Drop Bracket such as Timbren TB-DR1525H
  

SWAY BAR END LINKS

When pairing added down-travel with the taller ride height, the position of the factory, and front sway bar will need to be altered as well. For this, you will also receive extended, Sway Bar End Links. The End links are equipped with 1/2" FK Rod-Ends and in-house machined 17-4 stainless bodies that are extended over stock to reset the sway bar engagement points. Factory pillow bushings are re-used to assemble the sway bar to the lengthened link. Already have End Links from a previous installation? You have the option of declining them if you so choose but remember they are required for proper sway bar position.

SWAY BAR END LINKS SPECIFICATIONS:

• In-house machined out of 17-4 stainless steel
• 1/2" FK Bearing, Chromoly Rod-End
• Used on 0-3" lift

WHEEL AND TIRE FITMENT

This system will fit up to a 35" tire with stock control arms (we recommend purchasing a set of extended, Mild Steel Control Arms) on wheels with 5.75-6" of backspacing. If running factory wheels, we recommend an All Terrain 35" tire to avoid rubbing. The more rubber, the better the small bump compliance will be at proper inflation pressures. The ride will firm up as you go larger in wheel diameter.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• WHEELS: Carli Recommends a 17"-18" Wheel, no more than 9" wide with 5.75" of Backspacing on Leveling Systems
• TIRES: 35", E-Rated Tire Fitment is Recommended. Recommended unloaded Tire Pressure 45F/40R.
• RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION: Carli Leveling Systems are Designed and Tested on Vehicles with 17"-18" Wheels with 35", E-Rated Tires. Stock wheels and tires or running a larger wheel diameter will result in a stiffer ride.
