Carli's Commuter 2.0 system was designed, built, and tuned for the truck that keeps it on the pavement, or basic dirt roads. Shock tuning time was focused on suburban ride quality, in-town maneuverability and control, freeway expansion joints, and sharp highway bumps.
The ring or "spacer" included with this package spaces the shock tower up from the coil bucket to allow us to fit a longer travel shock on the truck. It is NOT a coil spring spacer! These custom spec shocks and tower spacers are highly recommended over a standard Fox shock, since with those you can only pull 8.5" of travel from a Carli or Thuren coil that would normally cycle 10" of travel.
This system provides one of the softest and smoothest rides possible from a 94-12 Ram truck. Unlike other options on the market, Carli specs unique valving in these shocks depending on the year of the truck.
Carli provides the option of whether to include the sway bar end links or torsion sway bar as well as rear progressive add a packs or full progressive leaf springs with this system. For 2003-2009 trucks especially, the replacement sway bar end links are highly recommended as 2"+ of front lift tends to overextend the factory sway bar end links.
The progressive add a packs are designed to retain factory weight capacity while softening the rear of the truck as the rear suspension compresses with larger impacts. The full progressive leaf springs replace the entire factory leaf spring pack and are designed to retain about 85% percent of the factory weight capacity. In terms of ride quality, the full progressive leaf springs offer one of the most significant improvements in ride quality available for these trucks.
**2010-present vehicles have 2 possible sizes of Sway Bar End Links. Place a socket on the nut that compresses the rubber End Link bushings; fitment of an 18mm socket will indicate the need for the 12mm part number.
This system fits Dodge Ram 2500 and Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 trucks from 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009.
