Carli Suspension — Sold, Tuned and Installed by Carli Certified Technicians

We are an authorized Carli Suspension dealer, and the technicians who build your truck are Carli certified. That is not a sticker on the window. It means the people torquing your radius arms, setting your caster and valving your ride were trained on this equipment by the company that engineers it.

★ Carli Certified Technicians | Veteran Owned

Carli Is Not a Lift Kit. It Is a Suspension System.

Most kits sell you height and let the ride quality land where it lands. Carli builds the opposite way — the engineering starts with how the truck rides, tows and works, and the height is the by-product. That is why a Carli truck at 2.5 inches will out-ride a bargain kit at 6 inches, every time, and it is why a Carli owner is usually somebody who actually uses the truck.

These are matched systems. Progressive-rate coil springs, shocks valved to those exact springs, corrected geometry, an adjustable track bar, stainless brake lines, bump stop drops and caster correction — all engineered to work as one piece. Pull one component out and substitute something cheaper and you no longer have a Carli system, you have a pile of parts. We do not do that here.

What Carli certification actually buys you. Carli systems are not bolt-on-and-go. Spring pre-load, sway bar geometry, bump stop clearance, pinion angle and caster all have to land inside a narrow window or the truck rides worse than stock — and the most common reason somebody says “my Carli rides rough” is that whoever installed it never finished the job. Our certified techs finish the job, and the lifted alignment is included on every system we install.

The Carli Systems, Explained Straight

Carli builds in tiers. The difference between them is not height — several of them come in the same height. The difference is the shock, the spring and how hard you intend to drive the truck. Here is how we sort people at the counter.

Leveling System

The entry point

Carli SPEC shocks and Carli springs at a level or mild lift height. The cheapest way into real Carli engineering, on a truck that lives on pavement.

Carli SPEC 2.0″ shocks
Level to mild lift
Street and towing focus

Commuter

Best on-road ride, period

Carli's own words: for people seeking the best on-road ride quality who don't plan to off-road beyond low-speed trail driving. If your truck's hard life is I-35W and a gooseneck, this is the one.

Carli SPEC 2.0″ internal reservoir shocks
Lighter-rate front coils, adjustable track bar
Stainless lines, caster shims, bump stop drop
Rear add-a-pack or full progressive leaf options

Backcountry

On and off-road, on a budget

The Commuter's ride manners plus remote reservoir damping, for the owner who wants to have some dirt-road fun in an 8,500-pound truck without giving up the highway.

Carli SPEC 2.0″ remote reservoir shocks
Progressive-rate front coils
Radius arm drop brackets, sway bar options
Gravel and caliche at speed, not just at idle

Pintop

The one we sell the most of

Carli calls it their most popular all-around system and a jack-of-all-trades every Super Duty owner would benefit from. Custom-tuned King 2.5″ shocks on all four corners — 55% more piston area than a 2.0. Best ride quality per dollar in the lineup.

King 2.5″ shocks, blueprinted pistons
17-4 stainless shafts, oil rated to −55°F
Carli leaf shackle with serviceable bushings
Optional adjustable radius arms

Dominator

The top of the line

King 3.0″ remote reservoir shocks front and rear. Ten inches of front travel, thirteen in the rear, room for a 37×13.50. Carli's pitch is that it runs hard in the dirt and still commutes like a gentleman — and that is exactly right.

King 3.0″ remote reservoir, all four corners
Roughly 4.5″ front / 3″ rear on Super Duty
About 10″ front / 13″ rear wheel travel
Fits up to 37×13.50 tires

Components & Shock Packages

Already running Carli?

You do not have to buy a full system. We install and service Carli components on their own — and if your shocks are tired, a shock package is the single biggest ride improvement per dollar on a truck that is already lifted.

Shock packages, 2.0 and King 2.5 / 3.0
Fabricated and adjustable radius arms
Adjustable track bars, torsion sway bars
Steering stabilizers, leaf packs, airbags

Ford Super Duty — F-250, F-350 & Excursion

The Super Duty is Carli's home turf and the bulk of what rolls through our bays. Available heights change by model year and by gas versus diesel, because the front-end weight is not the same truck.

Model Years	Engine	Carli System Heights	Notes
2023–Current	Diesel	3.5″ and 5.5″	Radius arm drop brackets required on the newer chassis
2023–Current	Gas	3″	Lighter front end, springs rated accordingly
2020–2022	Diesel	3.5″ and 5.5″	Full tier range — Commuter through Dominator
2020–2022	Gas	3″
2017–2019	Diesel	2.5″ and 4.5″	The 4.5″ Dominator platform
2017–2019	Gas	2.5″
2011–2016	Diesel	2.5″ and 4.5″	6.7L Power Stroke, very common build here
2011–2016	Gas	2.5″
2008–2010	Diesel & Gas	2.5″ and 4.5″	6.4L Power Stroke era
2005–2007	Diesel & Gas	2.5″ and 4.5″	6.0L Power Stroke era
2000–2005 Excursion	—	4.5″ lift system	Yes, Carli still supports it. So do we.

Every one of those heights is available in more than one tier. A 2017 F-250 at 2.5 inches can be a Commuter, a Backcountry or a Pintop — same stance, three very different trucks to drive. That decision is the conversation worth having before you spend the money, and it is the one we will actually have with you.

Ram 2500 & 3500

Coil-sprung Rams respond to Carli engineering as well as anything on the road, and the 2500 in particular is a different animal with a matched system under it. Air-ride and Power Wagon owners are covered too.

Platform	Years	Carli System Heights	Notes
Ram 2500 Diesel	2019–Current	2.5″ level, 3.25″ lift	Coil and airbag versions of both
Ram 2500 Hemi	2019–Current	2.5″ level, 3″ lift	Sprung for the lighter gas front end
Ram 3500 Diesel	2019–Current	2.5″ level, 3.25″ lift	Includes a 3.25″ auto-level air version
Ram 2500	2014–2018	2.5″ and 3.25″	Coil and airbag, diesel and Hemi
Ram 3500	2013–2018	2.5″ and 3.25″	Auto-level air variants available
Power Wagon	Multiple years	About 2″ lift systems	Built around the factory disconnect and winch weight
Ram 2500/3500	1994–2013	3″ and 6″ systems	Older Cummins platforms still supported

Ram systems come in the same tier structure — Leveling, Commuter, Backcountry, Pintop and Dominator — so the shock and spring conversation is identical to the Ford side. If your truck has factory rear air, tell us up front; it changes which version of the system you need.

Ford Bronco (2021–Current)

Carli's Bronco program is built component-by-component instead of in named tiers, and it is aimed squarely at owners who intend to drive the thing hard rather than park it at a coffee shop.

Carli SPEC King coilovers, front and rear
Front billet upper control arms
Rear fabricated control arms
Rear adjustable track bar
Front torsion sway bar
Steering tie-rod system
Front and rear bumpers
Rock sliders (4-door)
Rear control arm mount and shock mount skids

Because it is built a la carte, a Bronco build is a conversation, not a part number. Carli runs a configurator for the platform, and we will walk it with you and price the package as one job — parts, labor and alignment on the same sheet.

What a Carli Build Costs

Straight answer, because you are going to ask anyway: Carli is premium equipment and it is priced like it. Across the lineup, systems run roughly $2,500 at the entry end to north of $8,000 in parts, depending on the platform, the tier and the options you add.

Where you land inside that range is driven by three things: which shock package you choose, whether you add the rear leaf or airbag options, and whether the build includes fabricated radius arms, steering upgrades or a torsion sway bar. Labor is separate and quoted from published times at our $150 per hour door rate, and the alignment is included.

Nothing is buried. Your quote shows the parts, the labor hours, the shop supplies, the fees and the tax before you approve anything, and you can approve it from your phone. A deposit orders your parts, comes straight off the total, and is fully refundable right up until we place the order. Request a written Carli quote and we will build it out line by line.

One more honest note. If the number above is a stretch, say so and we will show you where a conventional lift kit or a shock package gets you eighty percent of the result for a fraction of the money. We would rather sell you the right thing than the expensive thing.

How a Carli Install Runs Here

Same five steps as every job in this shop, with the parts of the process that matter most on a matched suspension system called out.

The Conversation

Year, engine, cab and bed, what you tow, what you haul, and how much dirt you actually see. That picks the tier before anything picks a height.

The Written Quote

Itemized to the shop supplies and the tax, texted or emailed, approvable from your phone.

Parts In Hand

We do not schedule your truck until every component of the system is physically checked in on our shelf. No half-built truck sitting in our lot waiting on a backorder.

Certified Install

Carli certified techs, torque specs, thread locker, geometry and pinion angle set inside spec, and a road test. Lifted alignment included, not upsold.

Delivery & Re-Torque

Alignment printout, a walkaround, paid-in-full receipt, and a re-torque check we want to see you back for after the first few hundred miles.

Straight Answers

What does “Carli certified technician” actually mean?

It means our installers have been trained by Carli on their systems and their install procedures. On a matched suspension system that matters more than it does on a bolt-on kit, because spring pre-load, bump stop clearance, sway bar geometry, pinion angle and caster all have to land inside a tight window for the system to ride the way it was engineered to ride.

Is Carli worth the money over a conventional lift kit?

If you tow, haul, run gravel and caliche, or put real highway miles on the truck — yes, and it is not close. If the truck is a mostly-empty daily driver and the goal is stance and tire clearance, a good conventional kit with quality shocks will make you happy for a lot less. We will tell you which camp you are in before you spend anything.

Which system should I buy?

For most Super Duty owners the Pintop is the answer, and Carli says the same — it is their most popular system and the best ride quality per dollar in the lineup. Pavement-only truck that tows? Commuter. Want dirt-road capability without giving up the highway? Backcountry. Want to run hard and still commute in it? Dominator.

How tall will my truck sit?

Less than you think, and that is the point. Carli heights run from about 2.5 to 5.5 inches depending on platform and year. Height is a by-product of the spring rate the system needs, not the goal. If maximum height is what you are after, a Carli system is the wrong tool and we will say so.

Do I need an alignment after a Carli install?

Yes, and it is included on every system we install. Ride height changes geometry, and on a Super Duty caster usually has to be brought back into range with shims or adjustable arms before an alignment will hold. See our alignment page for how we do it.

Will a Carli system void my factory warranty?

Installing aftermarket suspension does not void your warranty outright. A dealer can deny a specific claim if they can show the modification caused that specific failure. Carli backs their own equipment, we are an authorized dealer, and we document the install.

Can you service or rebuild shocks I already have?

Yes. Carli SPEC and King units are fully serviceable, and a rebuild or re-valve is often the cheapest meaningful ride improvement available on a truck that is already lifted. Bring it in and we will tell you honestly whether yours are worth servicing.

How long does a Carli install take?

Plan on one to two full days in the bay for most systems, plus the alignment. Builds with fabricated radius arms, steering upgrades or rear air can run longer. You get a scheduled date and a realistic number of days when your parts are on the shelf, not a guess.

Do you offer a military or first responder discount?

We do — active duty, retired military, all veterans, firefighters, law enforcement, EMS and paramedics. This is a veteran-owned shop. Ask when you call; valid ID or credentials required.
