Thanks to Jay and his videos I have bought Carli Leveling Kit for 2015 Ram 2500 HD with Radius Arms, Torsion Sway Bar, Track Bar, Radius Arm Drop Brackets. I loved it so much I wanted MORE! Installing this week the Carli Backcountry with Fox External Reservoirs and two weeks from now I am removing a AEV 3" Dualsport SC kit (GARBAGE) on my brothers 2016 Ram 2500 HD and installing the Carli Pintop Kit with King shocks. Jay is the real deal guys, I started my builds after watching his videos to learn what to do, how to do it right and can't thank Jay enough for his videos as he is honest and his opinion is real, one that we can all relate to! I also order my parts from CJC Offroad and the are the best!

@JsGarage 6 лет назад

Had Fox 2.0 Coils and rear shocks on my 15' F150 loved them. I think most people stand to benefit a lot from that shock setup and it comes at a pretty reasonable around $1k price tag for all corners. Really only need to go beyond that if you just want to brag about something or plan to regularly put them to work off pavement. Going to run the Fox 2.0 on my Ram as well. King is good shit too but it is my opinion that you should regularly play off-road at higher speeds to get the most out of the more robust king setup shown here. I have a Jeep I spend more time off road with. Fox also makes more robust options than the 2.0 shown as does ICON suspension. There are some really nice options out there for more trucks.

@mitchellkeo4084 3 года назад

looks badass...getting my ecodiesel leveled as i type

@brandonvaughn7753 4 года назад

I want to clear something up to the people watching this. Putting a strut spacer or a performance adjustable strut that is longer than factory will chance the angle of the joints in your suspension. So the only difference between a strut spacer and a performance strut is the ride quality. What makes a good vs bad lift/level is anything over a factory height needs to be accommodated by a longer control arm. This makes it where the angle of the pivot points in your suspension stay the same. Also remember to get a allotment after adjusting anything on your suspension. Doing this will make your tires wear properly, your truck drive like it should, and your suspension lasting for the long haul!

@yourfriendlyneighbor6501 6 лет назад

I got these on my Ram Rebel and they are great on road and off road. It does take small jumps quite well. Great build Jay!

@yourfriendlyneighbor6501 6 лет назад

Jay Flat Out I live in Canada and the air suspension doesn't like the cold at all. At 65000 km the compressor failed so I decided to get something better for it. I do miss the adjustability of the air suspension.

This may sound like a stupid question but I just went from a 06 Cummins to a 2018 ram 1500 and wanted to know does this system give the truck a little better payload capacity? I know after I lifted my 06 cummins with the fox 2.0 the payload seemed much better as it didn't squat as much with the same load

@jasonb.7152 3 года назад

Jay did you not have to get the carli rear track bar drop bracket to correct your truck at from being on too much of an angle with the setup? I just installed the bilstein 6100 all the way around on my 1500 with zone upper control arms and the same carli sway bar links and linear tripple rate rear coils as you. The rear of my truck gained about 3 in lift and my track bar angle is on an extreme angle which opted me to order the carli track bar drop bracket and adjustable track bar from CJC. I am waiting on it to arrive now. Thanks

@frankie123fr 5 лет назад

Can you still tow the same maximum capacity as before ?

@jeffisonify 6 лет назад

This may be a dumb question...how are the longer coil overs any different from spacers in how they affect the geometry of the front end? They are both adding 2 inches of distance in between the upper and lower mounts. I understand that a coil over is going to be a higher quality option than a spacer on top of the factory strut, I just don’t see how they are any better in terms of geometry.

@JayFlatOut 6 лет назад

+Jeff & Alison Choate replacing the upper control arm after either kit is what effects the geometry

@BiggMo 6 лет назад

Biggest difference/benefit is the added travel you don’t get with the spacer - IMO, unless you drive aggressively, the difference is negligible

@jeremygendreau5576 6 лет назад

yeah spacers dont mess with the geometry...your control arm mounting points arent moving. the distance from the top of the shock tower to the upper & lower control arms arent moving the same with spacers and shocks. the only thing that may suffer is ride quality.... but even then youre not asking for any more travel or compression from the spring....

The kit in your video offers the struts with springs, beefier sway bar links, for over $1800 and I don't even know yet what theyre getting for the upper control arms. Kind of scared to ask. $500 for the pair? I'm guessing. Is it $1500 better? Just seems pricey but I"M still shopping.

It would make sense to put your money into electric running boards and a canopy... 4-5 thousand on a leveling kit is way over budget, considering what I paid for a new truck to begin with (56,000). I can see when the suspension gets older to think about it, but not when your vehicle is new! Not to mention that some models have air bags now.

I did the rear first since I tow a lot my truck was sagged out while loaded. I did 5100's in the back with TufTruck springs to reduce squat under load. Huge difference! A few weeks later the 6112 kit came. Built it with new OEM parts that are not included so I didn't have to disassemble my OEM struts. I also did Zone UCA's at the same time for piece of mind since the stock ones are plastic. The ride is unbelievable; I have it set to #6 so I believe if memory serves it's just over two inches higher in the front. There is also a 3/4 puck in the rear so I maintained rake for towing. I also did a Helwig sway bar in the rear with Carli sway bar end links, again another drastic improvement in handling. I'm glad I did it over the course of a month so I could feel each change. It's winter here, and with this setup along with winter tires my truck feels amazing. It's not the highest or the biggest but it rides smooth, there is no rattles or bangs. Speed bumps are now a joke. I am glad I used quality components and didn't skimp anywhere.

@@DF-et4gs what about street driving I don't off road or rock crawl I do all highway and town driving do I really need the 6112 ? I was researching the 4600 and 5100 are the same inside but one is for lifted applications. I just want to level it and I don't tow anything I have the airbags in the back already. Have 30k miles on my truck bought it from a old guy . I want the smoothest factory ride for my highway and street applications. I will be putting the sway bar upgrade and front steering stabilizers also UCA but the 2017 rams aren't plastic they did that 2019 I bleive to save weight if I go up 2" especially from the lift coming from the strut itself and not a puck I think the UCA will be OK but I'll do that if I need it but what you set up if you had my application what do you recommend don't want stiff ride .

How tall is your truck with this setup? Does it clear a 6’8” parking garage clearance???

@JayFlatOut 6 лет назад

Just barely I think 6’7 is the bare minimum

they do but what he also did was get new control arms where the actual geometry is so they are fine now, but too much money for my tastes XD

About to buy the FOX 2.0, but having them adjust it to 2.5". Should I have them adjust it, or keep it as is for best ride quality? They told me the ride would be more firm in the front if the adjustment is made

Mopar makes a leveling kit . does not void any warranty. Have it put on at your local dodge dealer by a factory mopar tech. I did. And didnt cost me anything close to what this dude paid.

I dont offroad, and i very rarely occasionally tow. I have an airlift suspension kit in the rear with the wireless compressor..... and i just want to level out the front of my truck.... what would be my best option?

@JayFlatOut 5 лет назад

Can you lower air out of your rear bags to reverse level it?

@_flexxx_ 5 лет назад

@@JayFlatOut as it sits.... it sits at factory height. Cant let air out any less that 5lbs of air or you'll damage bags. But you can add air and raise rear higher than stock. But of course with load it will balance back out.

@MrDutch1e 4 года назад

Anything that lifts the suspension is going to throw the geometry of the suspension out lol. Upper and lowers are still going to sit in the same spot whether using spacer or aftermarket coil/shock assembly.
