This truck came out great! I’ve always loved that body style

[@Daniel-1-1-1]

I did this to my 6.0 with the pintops first and now the dominator…full kits…did it in my garage no lift…also did rear shock mounts…fully recommended and fully doable at home…call up CJC and get your kit boys!!!

[@johnpatterson3598]

Nice! Did you do the updated rear leaf springs as well? If so, was the rear wheels pushed up towards the front of the fender? Because it appears that’s the case on this truck.

[@Daniel-1-1-1]

@@johnpatterson3598 I’m actually going down to cjc tomorrow to now get all new dominator shocks but 4.5” lift this time…and yes i did and it is normal for the wheel to be pushed forward…they do that on purpose so that when the axle cycles upwards it will clear and not hit your fenders anywhere. You are good to go! I actually had the same question when I first installed it and they said it’s made this way purposely.

[@jackg8478]

@@johnpatterson3598 I have done it on my truck. I believe you are correct that it does push forward a little bit.

@@Daniel-1-1-1 Have you had your truck out and really cycled the suspension? Mine definitely rubs the forward part of the rear fender.

[@Daniel-1-1-1]

I'm planning on doing the 4.5 dominator on my 2001 in conjunction with an axle swap. After reading countless forum posts and looking at the parts list, it doesn't seem like something too difficult to tackle for a shade tree mechanic.

[@evanhellerstedt5700]

I have 2 different questions I would love to see answered or a video on. 1. Suspensions from cari for the 2011-2016 super duty’s. 2. I have the 2.5” dominator on my 2015 f250. I have the full spring pack in the back. I finally measure my rake and there is a 2.5” difference front to back. Could you all do a video talking about the full leaf kit differences someone could see? Like on the 2.5 vs 4.5 and what you will see over factory springs? Also mine are not the heavy duty ones rated for 1000lbs in the bed constantly. Thanks!

[@TheGamingChad.]

why is the rear axle not center at 0:48?

[@brokenwrench404]

That’s spec’d into their deaver leafs. The rear swings back when compressed

[@veelink6345]

with 0 offset I can't imagine they don't rub the frame when turning m y 35s do on stock wheels

[@Lucariorunner]

can the carli low mount stablizer work with the synergy tie rod and an aftermarket diff cover or just the oem? looking to get one for a 2.5 carli lift on a 05 f350

[@CJCOffRoad]

It will only work with Apex steering or OEM steering. Synergy uses bent tubes, so the geometry is off.

[@ephraemdryer2088]

I hope that rear dif has been serviced! 😆

[@bumblebee1249]

Is the rear axle moved forward a little when moving the front leaf spring mount forward along with the longer leaf springs?

[@Daniel-1-1-1]

It does so when it articulates you are good and won’t hit the body…awesome kit

[@johnpatterson3598]

This is what I’m wondering as well. It appears the leaf swap moved the tires/wheels up in the rear fender wells. If that’s the case for them all, then I’ll just opt for their stock full progressive leafs because I want a 2.5” level with 37’s, so I know they’ll hit 😅

[@johnpatterson4901]

Thank you so much for the video. It appears that the rear tires & wheels were moved forward after the leaf spring swap & they don’t look to be centered in the rear wheel well. Is this true?

[@CJCOffRoad]

It's likely just something with the angle of the video. Keep in mind though that the axle moves forward under droop and rearward under compression on these trucks as the leaf springs cycle, so it's normal to see it vary depending on the position of the suspension.

[@hawaiiboysz]

I have a 2016 and install the those offset bushings can you run those with a set of new radius arms?

[@user-ce5bs4rj4w]

was this truck regeared ?

[@justnsaliga8518]

It's a diesel rig. Typically they're almost never regeared. I have friends with 40" tires running 3.73s and it's not much if any real noticeable difference it's not a huge change. And they tow with it. A gas engine once you start going up in tire size you will probably want to think about it

[@wrxhaines]

Would this suspension work on an 04?

[@williambarton2529]

How much labor $ is it to install this package?

[@Powerstroke7911]

I have an ‘06 F250 myself that has a 2” leveling puck kit on the front and 35” tires. The rear has stock F350 springs (being it has the slide in camper package) but only the 2” block (for the standard 250) instead of the 4” block (for the 350). With the system on the truck in this video, do you have any idea what the measurement is to the bottom of the door or sill plate? I’m trying to compare the difference between the two because I would LOVE to put the 4.5” Pintop on my truck, but my wife has a bad back and she may have a difficulty getting in. I may have to stick with the 2.5” system. I do, though, plan to install the Amp Research XL Powersteps to help her either way….thanks in advance for any information you may be able to provide me.

[@CJCOffRoad]

Sadly we don't have that measurement on hand, but with XL power steps it's a very manageable height.

[@hawaiiboysz]

I’ve had my lift for a couple years and now the truck is leaning. Guess the springs aren’t that great.

[@CJCOffRoad]

Usually lean is due to install error or off centered weight on the truck. Feel free to reach out if you have an issue with something purchased from us!

Beautiful truck! Just wondering if a Carli suspension long arm kit for a 05 Dodge 2500 6.7 Cummins is a good option for off-roading on the weekends to towing on the week every now and then?

[@igotursixx2665]

Have you ever done a Excursion?

[@JeepBro]

Great truck! Just wondering if the 3in 03-09 Dodge 2500 Carli suspension lift with the King shocks is the best way to go with all around driving, light off-roading on the weekends, and towing occasionally?

[@CJCOffRoad]

Our recommendation for you would either be the Carli Backcountry system, or the pintop system. Both will be a huge improvement over stock. The Backcountry will be a hair smoother around town, but the pintop will have more high speed off road capability. It all depends on how you thing you'll use the truck!

[@JeepBro]

Looks like I’ll be ordering the pintop kit then!

[@travisbennett9751]

Hey CJC Off Road can a F250/350 2005-2007 take a 2017+ F250/350 Carli Sway bar? Maybe some minor fab work/drilling taping? I am rebuilding a 2006 F250 and want to upgraded it the best I can. Thanks!

Just wanted to say congratulations on these east coast KZbinrs catching on that they need to stop using those worthless lift kits and pucks they use in there builds. I've told them on every Ford or Ram build that they need to put a Carli suspension on instead of the junk they been doing. Not saying it was me that made them to start using Carli but I always comment on their builds would be so much better if they would put a Carli suspension on. I just seen GREG_ALBERALLA putting Carli on his Ram 3500 dually and I was so stoked to see that. I know DURTYMAX JACK finally did a giveaway Ram that he put a Carli suspension on. Now StreetSpeed 707 if he does another Ram build needs to put Carli on it. He likes jumping everything and I know he would be blown away how a Carli suspension handles a jump. Now we need to get those east coast guy's to start putting real meats of wheels and tires on instead of those thin sliced bologna as wheels and tires. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Keep the excellent work up. The west coast knows there's no better than you guys and soon the east coast will know also.

You can buy additional fabricated parts for the front and rear if you're not re-using the factory hangers/buckets. Add all of that together plus your suspension kit(and labor if you're not doing it yourself). . . There's a bunch of forum posts and videos on the swap now.

[@JosephRajewskiWIII]

Stock bottom end is good for nearly 1,000 hp at the crank. Automatic transmission good for 550 hp at the crank. Excellent manual option too. Best sounding Diesel engine by far. These trucks are $5-$20k used to get started. The heads, head bolts, water pump, oil cooler, FCIM, and EGR cooler all need to go. May need a turbo or injectors. Many of these had multiple short-term owners and were abused.
