Carli Pintop Leveling System Base 3.25in Lift 2013–2022 Ram 3500 Auto-Level Air

The Carli Pintop Leveling System is a jack-of-all-trades suspension system designed for Ram 3500 trucks equipped with factory auto-leveling air suspension. Built for owners needing massive capacity without sacrificing handling or ride quality, this system raises the front of the truck 3 to 3.5 inches depending on cab configuration while increasing suspension travel by 50% over the factory platform.

This system features Carli-specific, blueprinted King 2.5-inch shocks on all four corners with tuning specific to air-assist Ram 3500 models. The 2.5-inch shock body provides 55% more piston surface area than a 2.0-inch shock, while custom Carli pistons, King oil rated to -55°F, and 17-4 stainless steel shock shafts help deliver improved control, durability, and ride quality.

Key Features:

• 3 to 3.5-inch front lift depending on cab configuration

• Designed for Ram 3500 models with factory auto-leveling air suspension

• 50% more front suspension travel than the factory platform

• Carli-specific King 2.5-inch shocks on all four corners

• Shock tuning specific to air-assist Ram 3500 applications

• 2.5-inch shock body provides 55% more piston surface area than a 2.0-inch shock

• Custom Carli shock pistons for proper base flow rates

• 17-4 stainless steel shock shafts for durability and corrosion resistance

• Progressive rear leaf spring pack designed with Deaver Spring

• Rear leaf springs lift the rear 2.5 inches while improving unloaded ride quality

• Maintains truck capacity without further stressing the factory air system

• Factory air bag spacer system allows full travel of the new leaf springs

• Rear height sensor relocation bracket supports proper load-leveling operation

• Air tank relocation bracket and airline move the factory tank to the spare tire area

• Adjustable track bar helps recenter the front axle

• Radius arm drop brackets recenter caster adjustment and shift the axle forward

• Designed to improve ride quality, handling, and light- to medium-duty off-road control

Notes:

• Designed for factory auto-leveling air suspension models only.

• Fits SRW and DRW Ram 3500 configurations.

• Factory front radius arm drop brackets interfere with the factory air tank, so this system includes components to relocate the tank to the spare tire area.

• The spare tire cavity on these trucks will not accept larger than a stock-size spare.

• Relocating the air tank can also help alleviate Amp Research Step and air tank interference.

• When lifting the front of a straight axle truck, the front axle is pulled off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed.

• Three inches of front lift shifts the axle toward the driver side approximately 3/4 inch and, on radius arm equipped Rams, lightens caster and creates slight rearward axle shift.

• Included radius arm drop brackets recenter caster adjustment and shift the axle forward to its new center of travel.

• Billet sway bar drop brackets shift the sway bar down and forward to help the factory end links cycle properly throughout the extended travel range.

• Carli’s optional torsion sway bar replaces the factory sway bar assembly with a torsion bar supported by fabricated drop brackets and Delrin bushings.

• The optional torsion sway bar is one of Carli’s best ride-quality upgrades.

• Optional fabricated radius arms and low mount steering stabilizer are available separately.

• King shocks use plated steel bodies. If exposed to inclement weather for extended periods, Carli recommends wrapping the shocks in 3M film to provide a replaceable moisture barrier.

Wheel and Tire Notes:

• SRW and DRW fitment guidance differs by wheel and tire setup.

• SRW models fit up to a 37-inch tire when using wheels no more than 9 inches wide with 5.75 to 6 inches of backspacing.

• SRW models with a 12.5-inch-wide tire should fit with no rubbing on the factory radius arm and only minor trimming required.

• SRW models with a 13.5-inch-wide tire will require more trimming and slightly more offset to fit properly.

• SRW models with 35-inch tires will fit with very minimal trimming, if any.

• SRW recommended wheel diameter is 18 inches.

• SRW recommended tire range is 35 to 37-inch E-rated tires.

• SRW recommended unloaded tire pressure is 45 PSI front and 40 PSI rear.

• DRW models fit up to a 35-inch tire when using wheels near stock backspacing.

• DRW recommended wheel diameter is 17 to 18 inches.

• DRW recommended tire is a 35-inch E-rated tire.

• DRW recommended unloaded tire pressure is 45 PSI front and 30 PSI rear.
