The Story
Whether you're piecing together your Carli Leveling Kit or maybe the existing shocks on your Carli equipped Ram are in need of replacing, the Carli SPEC 2.0 shocks are a great choice for the daily driver and trucks that get a little dirty (not airborn!), but demand a substantial increase in ride quality compared to a "normal" shock. These shocks are tuned to maximize the performance of the 2.5″ lift Carli Front Springs while utilizing the factory rear coils. Carli specifically tuned these shocks to deliver an all-around comfort and ride quality designed for on-road, in town, highway, and towing/hauling.
CARLI SPEC 2.0 SHOCK CONSTRUCTION
- BODYis 6063 aluminum offering a long service life and fantastic heat dissipation – they’re also anodized for corrosion resistance. The 5/8″ shafts are a hardened and chrome-plated steel. These shocks are spec’d with a premium 5WT oil to balance lubricity, consistent damping, and the widest available range in temperature variation
-
BUSHINGS: In an industry
obsessed with poly bushings, Carli has always measured against the benchmarkof the original rubber Bilstein bushings. In an eyelet style, poly is
fantastic – in a stem-top, Carli hasn't met a poly bushing they preferred to
tried and true rubber. They do not seem to handle the forces of the
stem-top as well as a rubber bushing. And the good news is that Carli was able to spec a
rubber bushing on these Carli Spec Shocks.
- ROD ENDS: The rod ends are constructed of 6061 billet aluminum; inside you will find a high-quality 1-peice bushing and zinc-plated crush sleeves for precision fit and longevity.
-
END CAP: The cylinder end cap has a unique design as it overlaps the body of the shock to provide external support to the internal snap ring. These shocks serve as the travel limiter for all trucks without Carli Radius Arms (and subsequent limit straps installed), ensuring the shock stays together on top out while bearing the load of the axle is paramount.
