Description
Want your Ram 2500/3500 to ride better everywhere? The Carli Pintop 2.5 System is one of the most popular suspension upgrades for Dodge Ram diesel owners, delivering a major step up in ride quality, control, and bottom-out resistance. By lifting the truck and pairing it with Carli-tuned 2.5″ King remote reservoir shocks, the Pintop provides a smoother, more controlled ride on the street with far better performance off-road. Tuned in-house specifically for real-world diesel use, the Pintop offers one of the best ride-quality-per-dollar setups Carli makes. Expect 2.5″–3″ of front lift, 1″–2″ of rear lift, and noticeably increased suspension travel over stock. Whether you daily drive, tow, or hit dirt roads on the weekend, this system simply works for nearly every Ram owner. Important: The Pintop is a modular system. While the Base Kit installs on its own, it must be paired with a rear leaf spring option and a sway bar option to form a complete system and achieve proper lift height and full ride-quality benefits. Required Components Base Kit Includes Multi-Rate Coils: Improved ride comfort with increased suspension travel Carli Tuned King 2.5" Remote Reservoir Pintop Shock Package with Reservoir Mounts & Limit Straps, Stainless Shafts: Superior damping, stainless shafts, reservoir mounts, and limit straps for added control and durability Track Bar: Centers the front axle for precise steering and handling Sway Bar Options As suspension travel increases, correcting sway bar geometry is critical for stability, body control, and proper articulation. Torsion Sway Bar - 3" Lift: One of the best ride-quality upgrades available; allows the front suspension to move freely without sacrificing control. Fits trucks with 0–3″ of front lift and requires removal of the electronic sway bar on Power Wagons. Rear Leaf Options Rear leaf springs support vehicle weight, provide lift, improve ride quality, reduce axle wrap and wheel hop, and maintain proper suspension travel. Diesel Full Progressive Leaf Spring Kit - 1" Lift: Provides 1"-2" rear lift for a slight rear-high stance with Carli 3" systems, softens the initial spring rate at ride height, minimizes axle wrap and wheel hop, reduces payload to a "light" ¾-ton capacity, allows up to 15" of suspension travel with the factory shackle, and fits a 4" axle tube. Diesel Full Progressive Leaf Spring Kit - 1" Lift HD: Designed for constant heavy loads (up to 1,500 lbs), provides the same lift and travel as the standard kit while maintaining better control under load. Fits 4.0″ axle tubes. Optional Upgrades   Fabricated Leaf Spring Shackles: Reduce rear stiffness, improve articulation, and minimize axle wrap; 1/4″ steel construction with greasable, rebuildable bushings. Compatible with factory and Carli springs on 2003–12 Ram 2500/3500 4x4 and 2013+ Ram 3500 4x4. Long Travel Airbags (1–2″ Rear Lift): Support heavy loads without sacrificing ride quality; allow up to 12″ of suspension travel and provide adjustable support up to 2,000 lbs per bag at 100 psi. Fits select Ram 2500/3500 diesel applications. Ram Extended Control Arms: Improve axle positioning, steering stability, and tire clearance on lifted trucks; billet 6061 aluminum construction with serviceable vibration-damping joints, providing clearance for up to 37″ tires. Low Mount Steering Stabilizer – Stainless: Direct bolt-in upgrade for T-style steering that reduces wobble and right-tire pull; adjustable and compatible with an optional differential guard for added protection. High Mount Steering Stabilizer – T Style Lifted: Improves steering control on leveled and lifted trucks; adjustable stainless stabilizer (not compatible with factory Power Wagon sway bars).

About Carli Suspension
CARLI SUSPENSION KITS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPONENTS

Yeah, we know Sage Carli can launch a full sized truck over nearly any obstacle. If you are into Baja racing, everyone knows by now that Carli Suspension is the name to go with. What you may not realize is that Carli has a suspension kit for your needs too. You probably don't care anything about having your expensive truck go air born, but you do want the best performance out of your suspension for your application. Carli Starter and Commuter 2.0 systems are designed to give you the best possible street manners compared to any other system on the market while providing ample room for the larger tires you want. Potholes disappear, you find yourself building speed on corners and washboard, and that's just when you are on the way to work. Now imagine heading out to feed the cows WITHOUT hitting your head on the headliner. Imagine coming back from your hunting trip WITHOUT needing a trip to the chiropractor. Take another look at Carli Suspension. It's not all about Baja. It's about YOUR truck and what you do with it. Stop by, we'll give you a ride and show you what you're missing. Just bring the checkbook and permission from the boss! One ride and you'll be hooked!

CARLI KITS

The entire engineering philosophy behind Carli aims to offer the real world Dodge Ram and Ford SuperDuty a suspension system that drastically increases the street drive of the vehicle while offering incredible off-road characteristics. So far, Sage Carli's suspension systems are the only option available where you don't have to compromise.

Carli products are designed to meet the expectations of both the daily street driver and the most extreme avid off road enthusiast. From the urban streets to the most remote places, Carli products will far exceed all your expectations. The easiest way to put this into perspective is that Carli truly builds suspension systems for the enthusiast....the person who truly LOVES their truck and wants to upgrade it with the most thought out, tasteful upgrades on the market. No, this type of individual isn't going to head to Napa to pickup a new track bar. They're going to research the best possible track bar on the market and go that route. Carli Suspension is truly a brand for enthusiasts, featuring products that are built by enthusiasts. Just watch any of Carli Suspension's videos and you'll understand why they have such a passion for their products.

Stock production trucks are built mainly to keep costs down. From a truck enthusiast's point of view these standards simply are not acceptable. From people looking to get a better ride with a more aggressive stance to people looking to get some serious off road performance, Carli understands the needs of these enthusiasts. This is epitomized by the ever growing list of satisfied customers. Carli Suspensions relentless pursuit of producing the best performing suspension systems is something that can be felt every time a customer drives their truck. Carli wouldnt have it any other way.

CARLI COMPONENTS

You know, its not always about a complete suspension. In fact, some of our best selling Carli products are things like a track bar, Carli ball joints, shocks, coil springs, and more. Maybe you've got a clunk in your front end that has been nailed down to being from a worn out track bar bushing and you did your research (mentioned above) and found out that the best track bar for your Ram or Ford is from Carli, so you buy that one. Or maybe you want a better ride, but only want to replace the coil springs for now. No problem. Sure, Carli is centered around their entire systems, but nearly all of their components can be used interchangeably on a stock height truck or one with an existing leveling or lift kit. We do our best to make note of any fitment requirements on each product page, but if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and ask, we're happy to help.

Here at Diesel Power Products we only want to sell the best and lets face it, the stock Ram and Ford suspension needs help. Your stock suspension system is designed to be adequate and nothing more. Carli not only makes the ride of your truck better, it makes it safer. Whether you are towing a trailer on the interstate or doing a little off-road adventure, we will attest that you'll be more than satisfied by upgrading to Carli.
