Carli 4.5" Dominator 3.0 Suspension System 17-19 Ford F-250/F-350 SuperDuty 4WD

Need to really get your Ford SuperDuty off the ground? This suspension system is designed as the do-it-all suspension system. This is not a "lift kit", it is a true suspension system that will technically allow you to do things you probably should not be doing in a daily driven truck.....but you can! This is the true, Jack of all trades suspension system offering the most wheel travel of any Carli system. The Dominator rides better than any other system on the road while boasting off-road manners to rival the Coilover Bypass. No tubes to adjust or user-tunability in this system; Carli has done the hard work for you. CARLI DOMINATOR SUSPENSION SYSTEM COMPONENTS The truck will sit 4.5" higher in the front and have more wheel travel thanks to the taller, Progressive Rate Coil Springs that mount into the Fabricated Carli Spring Buckets. Radius Arm Drop Brackets reset the pivot point and keep the travel linear for the best ride while Sway Bar Drop Brackets reset the sway bar engagement point. The included Bump Stop Drops protect the shocks from over-compressing while the Adjustable Track Bar centers the front axle and Stainless Brake Lines firm up braking and ensure there is enough line for the newfound travel. To round off the front end, you will receive Caster Shims to tighten the steering. REAR LEAF SPRINGS The rear is outfitted with a Full Progressive Spring Pack requiring no block to achieve proper ride height; thus, travel is extended and wheel hop/axle wrap minimized at the cost of 15% less load capacity than a stock F-250. If capacity is a concern, check out the Carli Long Travel Airbags to restore the payload capacity to that of a SRW F-350. CARLI TUNED 3.0" KING SHOCKS This system boasts Carli Signature tuned, King 3.0" Remote Reservoir shocks so large, they needed to fabricate custom mounts to fit them; as the old adage goes, there's no replacement for displacement. The 3.0" shock has a piston surface area 45% greater than a 2.5" King and 126% larger than a factory 2.0" shock making it far more efficient in all situations. The massive surface area also ensures you'll get amazing off-road performance combined with the best on-road ride of any Carli system. To fit these shocks, Carli fabricated mounts that lift the upper mounting point and position the shock away from the frame while the standard bump stop extensions were shortened to allow for more up-travel to compliment the additional down-travel from the longer shock. In an effort to provide you with the best product, a custom piston was designed to determine proper base flow rates to ensure the shock works well in the heavy duty truck platform; the shocks were then tuned based on seat-of-the-pants feel, which really is the only thing that truly matters. ALL of Carli's King shock offerings are finished off with shafts machined and polished from a solid piece of 17-4 Stainless. Unlike King's standard shafts, there is no coating to wear off, weather is far less likely to hurt them and if there is a small chip, you can round the edges with emery cloth to ensure the seal housing isn't damaged as they're not brittle like the stock, hardened shafts. The shocks are finished with King oil good to -55° F. Note that all King shocks are built with a plated steel body. If subjected to inclement weather for extended periods, we recommend wrapping your shocks in 3M to provide a moisture barrier that's replaceable. CARLI RECOMMENDATION As with the Coilover Bypass, it's recommended that users purchase a Differential Guard for axle protection, High Mount Steering Stabilizer to keep the steering as controlled as the suspension and Fabricated Radius Arms for strength and Limit Strap mounting. At this level of suspension, a roll cage is also recommended if the system will be used to its full off-road potential. WHEEL AND TIRE FITMENT Carli recommends 17"-18" wheels, no more than 9" wide with 5" of backspacing with with a 37", E-Rated Tire. If running the Carli Fabricated Radius Arms, up to 5.5" of backspacing is possible given the additional tire clearance provided by the arm. 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" of Backspacing on 4.5" Lift Systems TIRES: 37", E-Rated Tire Fitment is Recommended. Recommended unloaded Tire Pressure 45F/40R. RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION: Carli 4.5" Systems are Designed and Tested on Vehicles with 17"-18" Wheels with 37", E-Rated Tires. Stock wheels and tires or running a larger wheel diameter will result in a stiffer ride. REAR DRIVESHAFT Trucks equipped with a 2 piece driveshaft will require a Carli Carrier Bearing Drop (sold separately) to ensure proper driveline angles. NO LEAF SPRING OPTION NOTES: Diesel Power Products and Carli strongly suggest the use of either options available. These options are designed to work flawlessly with the rest of your kit and, are the best way to go. However, we understand you may already have the necessary provisions and/or products to use with this kit so we give you the option to not include any leaf spring provisions. NO SWAY BAR OPTION NOTES: Diesel Power Products and Carli strongly suggest the use of either options available. These options are designed to work flawlessly with the rest of your kit and, are the best way to go. However, we understand you may already have the necessary provisions and/or products to use with this kit so we give you the option to not include any sway bar drop or Torsion Sway Bar provisions. OPTIONAL CARLI ADD-ON COMPONENTS SWAY BAR DROP BRACKETS SPECIFICATIONS: Easy bolt-on Factory dual ball joint end links negate need to replace links Intended for 4.5" suspension system FULL REPLACEMENT SPRING PACKS SPECIFICATIONS: Block eliminating, full progressive spring pack Light 3/4 ton capacity, full capacity attainable with long travel airbags Includes new u-bolts and rear bump stop drops Provides a 1" rear high stance on matching 4.5" suspension systems 3.5" axle tube LEAF SPRING SHACKLE SPECIFICATIONS: Much of the jarring ride of the Super Duty rear can be attributed to the factory vulcanized bushings in the leaf spring pack and shackle. The factory shackle is very strong BUT the design is not conducive to a smooth ride. The Carli shackle is constructed of 1/4″ American cold-rolled steel. The mid-length gusset ensures no deflection while the serviceable bushings offer a far superior ride to the bind of the factory bushings. Greasable and rebuildable Far better ride than factory shackle 1/4" steel construction Fits factory and Carli springs FABRICATED ADJUSTABLE RADIUS ARMS SPECIFICATIONS: Icing on the cake, these arms add Additional Tire Clearance, Limit Strap Protection for your Front Shocks, 1/4" Boxed Steel Constructions, Serviceable 17-4 Stainless Spherical Bearings and Adjustable Caster Correction up to 3.5° over stock specs to leave Death-Wobble in the rear-view. 1-4 degree of adjustable caster correction 3/16 construction, fully internal gusseted with 1/2" additional tire clearance Limit straps kit included Serviceable 17-4 stainless spherical joint at frame connection for longevity and bind free cycling Requires radius arm drop brackets for 4.5-5.5" Carli systems HIGH MOUNT STEERING STABILIZER SPECIFICATIONS: Bolt in replacement for the factory stabilizer. Adjustable from 70-200 psi to run neutral (no directional influence at 70psi) or at 200psi to counter the right-hand pull inherent to tires like Toyo Mud Terrains. Bold in replacement for OEM stabilizer Works on leveled and lifted trucks only Will NOT work with dropped pitman arms LOW MOUNT STEERING WITH DIFFERENTIAL GUARD STABILIZER SPECIFICATIONS: Bolt in steering stabilizer which compliments a Carli, or factory, high mount stabilizer. Adjustable from 70-200 psi to run neutral (no directional influence at 70psi) or at 200psi to counter the left-hand pull inherent to tires like Nitto Trail Grapplers. Run in conjunction with the Carli High Mount for the ultimate Dual, Opposing Steering Stabilizer combination that's infinitely adjustable. Inside the Carli stainless stabilizer Custom valved for larger tires, adjustable nitrogen pressure Includes differential guard and clamp Combines with high-mount stabilizer for opposing setup Optimized for Carli 2.5-5.5" systems CARRIER BEARING DROP SPECIFICATIONS: We recommend adding this to shim to ALL 2-piece driveshafts (CCLB) to shim the Carrier bearing down alleviating the angle of all joints. If your truck is equipped with a single piece driveshaft, this will not fit and is not required. Drops carrier bearing on 2-piece driveshafts Prevents take-off shudder / driveline vibration Stackable 3/8" shims for 1-4" rear lift
