The Ram Commuter 2.0 system is designed for people seeking the best on-road ride quality that don’t plan to off-road their vehicle beyond low-speed trail driving. Utilizing Carli SPEC 2.0″ Diameter, Internal Reservoir shocks, we’ve developed a tune that delivers all-around comfort and ride quality designed for on-road, in town, highway, and towing/hauling.
The mono-tube, internal reservoir, Carli SPEC 2.0 boasts 6063 Aluminum construction, anodized body for corrosion resistance, 5/8″ hardened steel chrome plated shaft, full serviceability & rebuildability and are built with 1-peice 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. We back these with a 1-year warranty, serviced by Carli. More details on these shocks can be found HERE.
The Details: Your truck will sit 3”-3.5” higher in the front (cab configuration dependent) with 50% more suspension travel than the factory platform thanks to the taller, lighter rate coil springs. The rear is lifted 1”-2” via the customer’s choice of a Progressive Add-A-Pack or Full Progressive Leaf Pack. The Progressive Add-A-Pack maintains load capacity and replaces the factory 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 optional Full Progressive Leaf Pack replaces the entire factory leaf spring assembly increasing travel and drastically increasing comfort (when compared to when compared to the factory springs or add-a-pack) throughout the entire usable travel stroke reducing payload to a “light” 3/4-ton spec. This can be brought back to factory capacity with the use of Carli Long Travel Airbags to achieve the best ride and adjustable rear load capacity!
When pairing added down-travel with the taller ride height, the position of the factory, front sway bar will need to be altered as well. For this, we offer two options; Billet Sway Bar Drop Brackets or the replacement Torsion Sway Bar. The Billet Drop Blocks shift the sway bar down and forward to ensure the factory end links cycle properly throughout the entire extended travel range. Carli’s optional Torsion sway bar removes the entire factory sway bar assembly replacing it with a torsion bar supported by fabricated drop brackets and delrin bushings. Fabricated sway bar arms and dual 5/8” FK heim end links round off the package. This is the single best bang for the buck, ride-quality upgrade offered by Carli Suspension.
When lifting the front end of a straight axle truck, the front axle is pulled off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed. Three inches of front lift equates to an axle shifted toward the driver’s side ¾” and, in the radius arm equipped Rams, lightened caster and slight rearward axle shift. This system includes an Adjustable Track Bar to push the axle back toward the passenger side and provide a stronger link with less deflection for the lifted application. We also include Radius Arm Drop Brackets to recenter your caster adjustment and shift the axle forward to its new center of travel. Everything is included to support flawless operation of all components.

After almost a year of driving with this suspension on towing 10k and loading bed up with 2k - 6k this suspension is smooth and drives like on a cloud. The valve job on the shocks is on point and well worth the price. I’ve rode in a few lifted 4th gen Cummins trucks but this definitely takes the cake. Even unloaded handles and drive 10x better than stock without losing towing/payload capacity. Would recommend to everyone every time
Well made, great instructions. Plan on at least 4 hours to install at home. Took us 8-10 but we didn’t follow steps in correct order…Don’t do that lol.
Every part from Carli was perfect. Everything CJC boxed and shipped was well done. I ran into a few issues which could be remedied with different labeling on the parts bags but if I had also slowed down, taken a break and re-read the instructions I may not have had any issues. All in all I will buy from both companies again!
I have not put the kit in yet
I couldn't more impressed with the ride quality of the Carli system. It turned the stiff ride of a 3500 into something more along the lines of a 1500 without losing payload. Their customer service and product knowledge is second to none. I would recommend them to anyone asking for aftermarket suspension work.
