3.5" 2013-2018 Dodge Ram 3500 4wd (w/Diesel Engine) Backcountry Lift System by Carli Suspension

The Carli Suspension CS-D3-BC-CS-1319-D Backcountry 3.5-inch lift system for Dodge Ram 3500 4WD diesel models is a premium lift kit that will lift your vehicle enough to fit up to 37-inch x 12.5-inch tires. It is perfect for Ram owners who want the best ride quality on the road, on the highway, while towing or hauling, as well as during slow to mid-speed off-road use.

This lift kit system features 3.5-inch lift front coil springs with a slightly reduced linear rate for improved ride comfort. Paired with the coil springs are Carli SPEC 2.0 remote reservoir shock absorbers. These shocks use a 2" diameter 6063 aluminum anodized body for corrosion resistance and great heat dispersion. Remote reservoirs will increase oil capacity, giving better heat dispersion and performance in extreme conditions. 5/8-inch diameter hardened steel, chrome-plated shafts are also used.

To keep the front axle appropriately centered, an adjustable front track bar is included. In typical Carli fashion, this bar features elements not found in other track bars. This includes 3/8 inch DOM construction that allows for use of a 1" x 7/8" FK bearing heim joint with a huge 1" shank.

Radius arm drop brackets lower the factory radius arms, allowing them to rotate the axle back to its original angles to maintain proper caster and geometry. Made from 1/4-inch cold-rolled steel, these heavy-duty brackets provide a solid link between the arms and chassis.

In the rear, Carli offers a variety of choices for lifting or not lifting the rear of the vehicle. The base kit does not lift the rear; however, for a level ride, you will want to choose between the Carli progressive rate 2" lift add-a-pack kit (most economical and maintains factory payload) or the Carli progressive rate 2" lift leaf springs. The progressive leaf springs will provide increased suspension travel and drastically improved ride quality, while reducing load capacity to a 3/4-ton specification. You can make your selection in the options section below.
