Carli Suspension 3.0 Dominator Suspension System is the most capable bolt-on suspension system for your Ram every produced. The 3.0 series shocks included in this kit are designed for the customer who wants the ultimate suspension package. Built to support extreme conditions with outstanding street performance. This system is designed for drivability, race/chase support applications and aggressive off-road use, still rendering impeccable street characteristics and handling. This is one of the most advanced performance suspension systems available.

This is the true, Jack of all trades suspension system offering the most on-road comfort of any short-arm system in the Carli lineup. The Dominator rides better than any other system on the road while boasting off-road manners that make the truck feel half its size. This is the end of Carli's "all-around" Suspension Systems; anything above the 3.0" King will sacrifice on-road ride for off-road capability. For the customer looking for the best balance of on and off-road capability, without leaning too far in either direction, wanting to maintain the factory short arms (ability to return to stock), this system is the perfect candidate.

CARLI TUNED KING 3.0" SHOCKS

The Dominator is the best of Carli's short-arm, utilitarian style offerings boasting front Carli Signature tuned, King 3.0" remote reservoir shocks so large, you'll need to bore the factory spring buckets for them to cycle properly (4" hole saw included). As the old adage goes, there's no replacement for displacement. In an effort to provide you with the best product, the included shocks are by no means a standard off-the-shelf King 3.0. Carli designed a custom piston to determine proper base flow rates to ensure the shock works well in the heavy duty truck platform; then they tuned the shocks around the custom pistons based on seat-of-the-pants feel. ALL King shocks are treated 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. All King shocks are built with a plated steel body. If subjected to inclement weather for extended periods, we recommend wrapping your shocks in 3M to provide a moisture barrier that's replaceable.

REAR LEAF SPRING OPTION

Your truck will sit 2.5"-3" higher in the front (year/cab configuration dependent) with 50% more suspension travel than the factory platform thanks to the taller, lighter rate coil springs. The rear is lifted 1"-2" thanks to the included Full Progressive Leaf Pack. The Full Progressive Leaf Pack replaces the entire factory leaf spring assembly increasing travel and drastically increasing comfort throughout the entire usable travel stroke at the cost of a 15% payload reduction from a standard 2500.

FULL PROGRESSIVE LEAF SPRING PACK SPECIFICATIONS:

• 2" rear lift maintains slight rear-height stance with Carli 3" systems
• Softens initial spring rate at ride height
• Eliminates factory block, minimizes axle wrap / wheel hop
• Reduces payload to light 3/4 ton capacity
• Capable of 15" of suspension travel with factory shackle
• Requires but does not include 5" bump stop drop bracket

SWAY BAR END LINK OPTIONS

When pairing added down-travel with the taller ride height, the position of the factory, front sway bar will need to be altered as well. For this, you will receive Extended Sway Bar End Links. The End links are equipped with 1/2" FK Rod-Ends and in-house machined 17-4 stainless bodies that are extended over stock to reset the sway bar engagement points. Factory pillow-bushings are re-used to assemble the sway bar to the lengthened link.

1994-1998 EXTENDED SWAY BAR LINKS SPECIFICATIONS:

• Machined out of 17-4 stainless steel
• FK Bearing, Chromoly Rod-End
• Used on trucks with 0-3" of front lift

1998.5-2009 EXTENDED SWAY BAR LINKS SPECIFICATIONS:

• In-house machined 17-4 stainless steel
• 1/2" FK Chromoly Rod-End
• For trucks with 0-3" of front lift

WHEEL AND TIRE FITMENT

This system will fit up to a 37" tire with a set of Carli High Clearance Control Arms and Full Progressive Leaf Springs on wheels no more than 9" wide with 5.75" of backspacing. If running factory control arms or wheels; we recommend an All Terrain 35" tire. The more rubber, the better the small bump compliance will be at proper inflation pressures. The ride will firm up as you go larger in wheel diameter.
