Carli Suspension 2014-2025 Ram 2500 EVenture System 3.25" Lift

The Carli Ram E-Venture system is the most advanced suspension system ever developed for HD Ram trucks. With shocks that sense terrain and adapt 100s of times per second to be as smooth as possible, it offers unmatched ride and control both on and off road. The system is backed up by all the supporting parts normally left out by cheaper "lift kits" including a Carli track bar, radius arm drops, rear sway bar end links a rear track bar drop and more. You can also upgrade things further with the addition of a steering stabilizer, sway bar, and fabricated radius arms. Please note this is a DIESEL Cummins 2500 COIL ONLY system. It will not function on air 2500 or 3500 trucks, and is not tuned for Hemi applications. 

Carli offers two mandatory option selections for the rear of the truck. The first is coils. Select the R2 high capacity coils if you have 500-800 pounds of constant payload, and the R1 coils if you have an empty truck with variable load like towing.

Carli also offers two rear track bar options. Select the track bar drop to net a lower total cost, or the Carli full replacement rear track bar system upgrade to have the best handling and eliminate the rear "wag" these trucks can exhibit. Carli highly recommends the full rear track bar if you need R2 high capacity coils or tow regularly. 

The core of this system is the Carli E-Venture shock package, co developed with SDI. The shocks themselves are top-tier construction. Hard-anodized aluminum bodies and reservoirs pair with 17-4 Stainless Shock Shafts will stand the test of time and elements. Billet Rod ends house teflon lined bearings to ensure industry leading performance and longevity. The “Brain” of the system is the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). The ECU Harness uses a large OEM-style connector with a rocker linkage to ensure it remains secured once fastened. Carli played with a few mounting locations in their R&D and the heat-cycling of the initial under-hood location proved detrimental to the ECU’s operable temperature range. They redesigned the harness to accommodate an in-cab mounting location (under the driver’s seat) and have had no overheating activity since.

Via the communication harness, the ECU accesses data from the engine mounted IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). This unit senses any change in pitch/roll of the vehicle. The data from this IMU combines with information gathered from the OBDII port (Brake Pressure, RPM, Steering Angle, Throttle, etc.) to anticipate changes in chassis movement. Subsequently, it firms and softens the shocks where necessary to maintain a chassis that’s as level as possible.

The most important part of the interface is the one with which you interact. SDI put in a TON of work here to ensure a user-friendly interface with clean integration. Carli worked with them to take it a step further. The Bracket and Touch Screen mount in place of the bottom grab-handle bolt cover placing the touch screen both visible and out of the way. Provided is a longer bolt to secure the screen. This location allows for clean routing of the wiring harness that feeds the Touch Screen without the need to trim the grab handle or weather-stripping.

Carli worked with SDI to refine the drive modes; they wanted to increase the seat-of-the pants change between each mode. Offered on the E-Venture System are Mountain (Rock-Crawl), Street and Desert Modes. This is in order from softest/least sensitive to most controlled/active. These modes have been EXTENSIVELY refined; there’s nothing standard about them. All you, as the customer, need to do is select the mode and the system will activate the profile instantaneously. Within each of the above modes, users can refine the ride to their taste and it will auto-save the profile. There are adjustments for the front and rear shocks independently to increase control or comfort within each of the drive modes. Carli tuned and refined their recommended settings to be centered on ALL drive modes but that doesn’t mean you won’t prefer to run the front in the center of the adjustment and rear all the way toward comfort. Point is, it’s completely up to you! Pro Mode allows users to adjust the Pitch, Roll, Brake, Throttle and Steering Response. Don’t worry, if your curiosity gets ahead of your knowledge or you failed to track your changes, they implemented a “Restore Default” setting. 

Arguably the most handy feature for the customers is the Rear Load Adjustment. This gives the user incremental control over the rear dampers. When loaded, the rear can be adjusted to find the balance of comfort and support OR, as Carli preferred, max the rear support to prioritize load support. This adjustment makes a huge difference in the rear control when loaded; this will likely be the most championed feature.

This system will fit 35s with no trimming on a 0 to +27 offset wheel that is no wider than 9." To fit 37s on a Ram truck Carli recommends a +18 to +27 offset wheel that is no wider than 9,” as well as some mild trimming of the plastic fender liner and maybe pinch weld depending on the tire.
