I have a 2020 Ram 2500. I put on the Carli level kit plus track bar and sway bar. I can not speak highly enough about the improvement. Mine is a “pavement princess”. I use it as a daily driver and to pull a 11,500 lb travel trailer. Before the upgrade it rode like a complete POS. Now it may be the favorite truck I’ve ever had.

I’ll be picking up my 22 Power Wagon with my new Pintop installed on Sunday. I optioned both the high and low mount stabilizers, diff guard and the radius arms. I’ve been wanting this package for a long time. Finally pulled the trigger. I’m in Sask as well so I’m looking forward to a much smoother ride while I’m booting around the backroads.

@@akathedude3266 It’s running great!! I knew it was going to make a difference, but I didn’t realize just how much of a difference it would make. Hammering down the side roads of Alberta and Saskatchewan is awesome, railway crossing have become a new favourite. So well mannered on and off road. Love the system, well with the investment.

@TheHouse_of_D3 ай бұрын
@@akathedude3266 All I can say is the Pintop is something special. Blasting down the side roads here in Sask is kick ass, and the handling on the tarmac is much improved over the stock set up. And not by a little bit, by a huge margin. The ride is awesome, and you know those bloody railway crossing, I look forward to them now!! It’s a substantial investment, but it makes my truck way more versatile. It even increases my bed payload as my Power Wagon has pretty shitty payload from the factory.

Great shocks in the warmer weather but the seals will blow out when its his minus 30 for extended periods. They are made for warmer weather. I've had 2 sets and same issues leaking shocks and reservoirs. So I Went to Bilstein 5100's.

Haf a great experience with CJC also. I was gonna do the backcountry but decided to just do a regular level but use the extra momey to do their swaybar and track bar upgrade. Totally happy. One thing is once youve got some tires with big sidewalls and air them down if not hauling, the ride gets buttery smooth.

Honestly, just say no to tire poke period if you want to avoid being hassled. It's like tire poke is the cue to check your truck. Without tire poke you can get away with all kinds of mods without being hassled.
