Planning on hitting some off road destinations or maybe the roads around your farm are a little rough? The Backcountry System by Carli Suspension is all you need for all around comfort and ride quality no matter the conditions. Utilizing front and rear 2.0" remote reservoir shocks, we've developed a Carli Signature shock tune that delivers all-around comfort and ride quality on-road, in town, highway, towing/hauling as well as slow to mid speed off road use.

We enjoy taking our truck off road for a variety of outdoor activities but where we go has a variety of terrain. Rocks, trees, ruts, and more will put your suspension to the test. That's why the Backcountry System was made; to offer a better ride in rough conditions without breaking the bank. After install, you will find a 2.5"-3" front increase in height and 50% more suspension travel than the factory platform. The whole system starts with the Backcountry Kit.

BACKCOUNTRY KIT

For a truck that needs a smooth ride and enhanced handling on a variety of road and off road conditions, Carli Suspension has covered all the bases. The Base Kit starts with multi-rate coils that give you a smoother ride and better stability when you need them most. A multi-rate coil also reduces stress on components like your shocks and bushings. The Carli SPEC 2.0" Remote Reservoir Shocks that come with the Backcountry system are tuned to deliver comfort while allowing for a wider range of suspension travel than an IFP and the same mounting dimensions. Carli SPEC 2.0 boasts 6063 Aluminum construction, anodized body for corrosion resistance, 5/8″ hardened steel chrome plated shaft, full serviceability, rebuildability, and are built with 1-piece bushings in the 6061 billet rod-ends. These shocks are spec’d with a premium 5WT oil to balance lubricity, consistent damping and the widest available range in temperature variation. And by improving on ride quality, you also improve the safety of your truck as well with it's predictable behaviour, better traction, and control.

REAR LEAF SPRING OPTIONS

The rear is lifted via your choice of Carli's progressive add-a-pack or full replacement progressive leaf spring. The Progressive Add-A-Pack replaces the factory overload with a 5-Leaf, progressive pack that changes the final rate of the spring pack keeping the rear planted while increasing traction and predictability. The full replacement springs are intended for those who want to maximize wheel travel (capable of up to 15") and minimize axle wrap due to their block-eliminating design. The Commuter 2.0 System has been developed with the Full Progressive option. While the Add-a-Packs will function there will also be a noticeable difference in ride-quality. Additionally, if you select "No" Leaf Spring option it will result in an unknown ride quality and height.

LEAF SPRING SPECIFICATIONS:

• Add-A-Pack: Replaces rear, lower overload spring for increased ride quality. Includes U-Bolts and Center Pins.
  
• Standard Full Spring Pack: Capable of 15" of wheel travel. Will reduce payload capacity by 15%. REQUIRES BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE - 5" Bump Stop Drop Bracket such as Timbren TB-DR1525H
  

SWAY BAR END LINKS

When pairing added down-travel with the taller ride height, the position of the factory, and front sway bar will need to be altered as well. For this, you will also receive extended, Sway Bar End Links. The End links are equipped with 1/2" FK Rod-Ends and in-house machined 17-4 stainless bodies that are extended over stock to reset the sway bar engagement points. Factory pillow bushings are re-used to assemble the sway bar to the lengthened link. Already have End Links from a previous installation? You have the option of declining them if you so choose but remember they are required for proper sway bar position.

SWAY BAR END LINKS SPECIFICATIONS:

• In-house machined out of 17-4 stainless steel
• 1/2" FK Bearing, Chromoly Rod-End
• Used on 0-3" lift

WHEEL AND TIRE FITMENT

This system will fit up to a 35" tire with stock control arms (we recommend purchasing a set of extended, Mild Steel Control Arms) on wheels with 5.75-6" of backspacing. If running factory wheels, we recommend an All Terrain 35" tire to avoid rubbing. The ride will firm up as you go larger in wheel diameter.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• WHEELS: Carli Recommends a 17"-18" Wheel, no more than 9" wide with 5.75"-6" of Backspacing on Leveling Systems
• TIRES: 35", E-Rated Tire Fitment is Recommended. Recommended unloaded Tire Pressure 45F/40R.
• RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION: Carli Leveling Systems are Designed and Tested on Vehicles with 17"-18" Wheels with 35", E-Rated Tires. Stock wheels and tires or running a larger wheel diameter will result in a stiffer ride.
