Product Description
More Information

This Carli Suspension CS-FLVL-BC-CS-17-GAS 2.5 inch Backcountry lift system for the Ford F250 / F350 4wd gas models is a premium lift kit that will lift your vehicle enough to fit up to 37 inch x 13.5 inch tires (w/trimming).  It is perfect for Ford owners wanting the best ride quality during on-road, highway, towing/hauling along with slow to mid speed off road use.

Featured in this lift kit system are 2.5 inch lift front coil springs that have a slightly reduced linear rate for better 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 centered properly an adjustable front track bar is included. In typical Carli fashion this bar has features that are not found in other track bars. This includes 3/8 inch DOM construction that allow for use of a 1" x 7/8" FK bearing heim joint with a huge 1" shank.

Completing the front-end enhancements, this package incorporates Caster Shims to enhance steering responsiveness. Additionally, a custom High-Clearance Bump Stop Drop is provided to ensure the springs maintain proper clearance from the factory bump stop.

In the rear Carli gives you variety of choices to lift or not lift the rear of the vehicle. The base kit does not lift the rear, however you can choose between the Carli progressive rate 1" lift add-a-pack kit (most economical and maintains factory payload, but for F250 only) or the Carli Full Progressive Rate 1" lift Rear Leaf Springs. The progressive leaf springs will provide increased suspension travel and drastically improved ride quality while reducing load capacity to a light 3/4 ton spec.

Features & Benefits:

  • 2.5 inch front lift / 0 to 1 inch rear lift (optional rear lift)
  • Premium lift kit optimized for all conditions: on-road road quality, towing and slow to medium speed off-roading
  • Front linear rate coil springs - with reduced linear rate to improve ride quality
  • Carli SPEC 2.0 Remote Resi Front and Rear Shocks - 2" diameter aluminum body with remote reservoir
  • Shocks are fully serviceable and rebuild-able
  • Designed to improve ride quality and suspension performance
  • Optional Rear Add-a-Pack - Replaces factory overload springs, transforming the factory leaf spring pack into a progressive system (F250 only)
  • Optional Rear Progressive Leaf Springs - Provide increased suspension travel and drastically improved ride quality while reducing load capacity to a light 3/4 ton spec
  • Adjustable track bar - keeps front axle centered and dampens vibrations. Uses FK heim joint with huge 1" shank
  • Stainless steel braided extended front brake hoses
  • Front Travel = 9" / Rear Travel = 13.8"
  • Lifetime warranty on components, 1 year warranty on shocks
  • Allows use of up to 35 inch x 12.5 tires or 37 inch x 12.5 (with trimming)

Components Included:

  • CS-FLC-11-GAS: Front Coil Springs
  • CS-FLVLSPKG-CS20RR-D: Carli SPEC 2.0 Remote Resi Shocks, Front and Rear, Resi Mounts
  • CS-FORDBBL-LVL-17-F: Front Brake Lines
  • CS-FCASTERSHIM-25: 2 degree Caster Shims
  • CS-FBDF-25-17: High Clearance Front Bump Stops
  • CS-FATB-17: Adjustable Track Bar

Optional Upgrades - While not required, Carli Suspension offers additional components to further enhance ride quality and / or performance of this leveling system. These can be found by scrolling down the page to the table below.

Required Sway Bar Selection - While Carli does not include a front sway bar correction in this kit it is required to install this lift kit properly. The drop bracket kit works great as a more economical solution. However, for truck owners wanting a HUGE improvement in ride quality the Carli Torsion Sway Bar is your solution and is an amazing upgrade. Designed to allow the front suspension to move more freely without giving up control.

Important Notes1. Recommend 17”-18” wheels, no more than 9” wide with 5.5” of backspacing with Carli Fabricated Radius Arms or 5” Backspacing with factory arms
2. It is not advisable to use factory wheels with oversized tires, as this can lead to issues such as rubbing against the radius arm, sway bar, and, most importantly, the brake lines.
