2019-2025 Ram 2500 4X4 Diesel 2.5in Pathfinder Leveling System
Description
Why this kit
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.
Who it's for & where it sits in the Carli lineup
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.
Key specs (per Carli)
| 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.
What's included (base kit)
| CS-DLRC-14-LVL-D | Leveling front coil springs |

Popular add-ons (sold separately)
- Carli Torsion Sway Bar — Carli calls it a big ride-quality upgrade.
- Radius arm drop brackets — not in the base kit. Without them, Carli has you max out the factory caster adjustment, and the front coils may show a slight bow.
- Low-mount and high-mount steering stabilizers, fabricated radius arms, extended rear track bar and other Carli Ram components.
Fitment notes
- Fits 2019–2025 Ram 2500 4×4 with the 6.7L Cummins diesel, per Carli's product page.
- Not for trucks with rear auto-level air suspension. Carli sells a separate air-suspension leveling kit for those trucks.
- Ram 3500 uses a different Carli leveling system.
- Steering: the adjustable track bar re-centers the front axle at the new ride height and includes a stabilizer bracket.
- Cab / bed: Carli lists no cab or bed limits for this kit.
