Carli Suspension 2013+ Ram 3500 Backcountry System 3.25" Lift
The Carli Suspension Ram 3500 Backcountry system is designed to be the jack of all trades. This setup is just as comfortable for daily driving as it is for basic off road driving. The completely custom spec and custom tuned Carli SPEC 2.0 reservoir shocks make quick work of washboard roads, low speed crawling, and just about anything the average truck would come across. These shocks also offer great control for towing and hauling compared to a stock truck. That said, high speed off road usage is best suited for the Carli King shock systems.
Keeping the factory geometry in check is a host of upgraded components that have been scrutinized for strength, function, and longevity. No other system on the market is this comprehensive and addresses all the suspension vitals.
The Backcountry 2.0 system is designed for people seeking the best ride on and off-road on a budget; perfect for those that want to have a little dirt-road fun in their 8,500lb truck without losing the on-road ride quality or usability for which the truck was designed. You’re no longer limited to the highway while gravel roads become uninteresting as you can drive them at speed with one hand on the wheel. Utilizing Carli SPEC 2.0” Remote Reservoir Shocks, Carli has developed a shock tune that delivers all around comfort and ride quality designed for on-road, in town, highway, towing/hauling as well as slow to mid speed off road use.
This system is Carli's most popular, all around suspension system. It was tuned and rides best with their Full Progressive Leaf Springs and 18” wheels with 37” tires. Both of the aforementioned are recommended.
Your truck will sit 3”-3.5” higher in the front (cab configuration dependent) with 50% more suspension travel than the factory platform thanks to the taller, lighter rate coil springs.

In the rear you can choose between either the Carli add a pack or one of Carli's full replacement rear leaf options. The add a pack retains most of the truck's capacity and improves ride on hard impacts. The full replacement progressive rear leaf packs dramatically improve and soften rear ride, and are Carli's recommendation unless the truck has constant payload like a camper. If you want to maintain stock capacity with either, just add the Carli long travel airbag option.
If your truck has full time weight like a camper, service body or tool storage system, then choose the HD leaf pack that matches how much weight you have on the truck. You can also add airbags to the HD leaf packs to cover for towing.
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, Carli offers two options; Billet Sway Bar Drop Brackets or the replacement Torsion Sway Bar. The Billet Drop Blocks shift the sway bar down and forward to ensure the factory end links cycle properly throughout the entire extended travel range. Carli’s optional Torsion sway bar removes the entire factory sway bar assembly replacing it with a torsion bar supported by fabricated drop brackets and delrin bushings. Fabricated sway bar arms and dual 5/8” FK heim end links round off the package. This is the single best bang for the buck, ride-quality upgrade offered by Carli Suspension.
When lifting the front end of a straight axle truck, the front axle is pulled off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed. Three inches of front lift equates to an axle shifted toward the driver’s side ¾” and, in the radius arm equipped Rams, lightened caster and slight rearward axle shift. This system includes an Adjustable Track Bar to push the axle back toward the passenger side and provide a stronger link with less deflection for the lifted application. It also includes Radius Arm Drop Brackets to re-center your caster adjustment and shift the axle forward to its new center of travel. Everything is included to support flawless operation of all components.
Wheel and Tire: This system will fit up to a 37” tire when utilizing wheels that are no more than 9” wide with 5.75-6” of backspacing. A 12.5” wide should fit with no rubbing on the factory radius arm and only minor trimming required, while a 13.5” will require more trimming and slightly more offset to fit properly. 35” tires will fit with VERY minimal, if any trimming. Carli recommends running an 18” diameter wheel for optimal ride quality (more rubber = better small bump compliance) on a 35”-37” E-rated tire running 45psi front, 40psi rear when unloaded.
This system does not work with rear auto-level air suspension, it is not compatible with cab and chassis model trucks.
