A Ram 2500 diesel sits nose-down from the factory, and the stock shocks are small for a truck this heavy. Carli's Pathfinder leveling system raises the front 2.5″ to level the truck and adds big Carli-SPEC 2.5″ remote-reservoir shocks for a calmer, better-controlled ride. It does this without lowering payload or towing capacity.
Pathfinder is Carli's Carli-SPEC 2.5″ tier, between Backcountry (2.0″ remote reservoir) and Pintop (King 2.5″). It's built for owners who mostly drive on-road and want a plush ride with mild-to-moderate off-road ability and only a small lift. Carli notes this leveling system cannot be upgraded into its other Ram systems later, so choose your tier up front.
| Front lift | 2.5″ |
|---|---|
| Rear lift | 0″ (levels the truck) |
| Front wheel travel | 8.5″ |
| Rear wheel travel | 9.1″ |
| Shocks | Carli-SPEC 2.5″ remote reservoir, 10″ reservoirs |
| Tire fitment | 35″ × 12.5″ |
| Carli wheel advice | 35″ tire on a wheel no wider than 9″ with 5.5″–6″ backspacing. Carli recommends its low-mount steering stabilizer for any tire over factory size. |
| Payload | Payload and towing capacity stay at factory ratings |
The Carli-SPEC 2.5 shocks have about 55% more piston area than a 2.0″ shock, which helps them shed heat and go longer between rebuilds. They have hard-anodized aluminum bodies and black-anodized billet parts.
