Description
This system boasts Carli specific, blueprinted, King 2.5" shocks on all four corners. In an effort to provide customers with the best product, Carli designed a custom piston to determine proper base flow rates to ensure the shock works well in the heavy duty truck platform; they then tuned the shocks around the custom pistons based on the only thing that matters to us, seat-of-the-pants feel. These shocks completely mute the axle hop and chatter that plague the stock Power Wagon platform in soft soil or sand. Carli rounds off ALL King shocks with shafts machined and polished from a solid piece of 17-4 Stainless. Unlike King's standard shafts, there is no coating to wear off, weather is far less likely to hurt them and if there is a small chip, you can round the edges with emery cloth to ensure the seal housing isn't damaged as they're not brittle like the stock, hardened shafts. The shocks are finished with King oil good to -55 F.
Your truck will sit 2" higher in the front (cab configuration dependent) with more suspension travel than the factory platform thanks to the taller, lighter rate coil springs. The rear Carli Coil Springs will lift 1" to level the truck while upping the rear suspension capacity to a respectable 2,000lbs. If more capacity is desired, we also offer the R2 high capacity rear coils which are perfect for trucks with full time camping setups.
The Factory Power Wagon Sway Bar Disconnect and sway bar are retained with this system and functions just like factory!
The additional front lift and off-road oriented application call for a better track bar to handle the increased off-road abilities. This system includes an Adjustable Track Bar to recenter the axle and provide a stronger link with less deflection for the lifted application. Also included are Carli's Radius Arm Drop Brackets to drop the pivot point of the dual pivot Power Wagon arms, alleviate diagonal spring pressures (ensure no bow in the coil springs) and allow full adjustment of the factory caster bolt. Many lower cost options skip this part, but we feel it's a necessary item to maintain proper caster and arm angle with the added front suspension travel and articulation.
Everything is included to support flawless operation of all components. Extended rear Sway Bar End Links, Front and Rear Bump stop drops to ensure the shocks are cycling in their designed travel range as well as a rear track bar drop bracket minimizing the rear end "wag" associated with opposing track bar suspension designs are all included to round off this suspension system. This system also includes several small parts that no other brand offers including a Harmonic Damper Relocation Bracket and Skid Plate Spacer Block to prevent the drive shaft from being damaged by the skid plate with the added droop travel this system offers.
