The Carli Dominator System is a premium suspension upgrade for Dodge Ram 2500/3500 diesel owners who demand maximum off-road performance without sacrificing on-road control. Featuring 3.0″ King remote reservoir shocks paired with a full progressive rear leaf pack, the Dominator delivers a plush yet stable ride with substantially more bottom-out resistance than the Pintop 2.5

Designed for serious enthusiasts, the Dominator is Carli’s most capable Ram suspension system. Rear lift typically ranges from 1″–2″ depending on configuration, while all setups maintain proper suspension geometry, tire clearance, and durability for hard use.

• 3.0″ Dominator Base Kit (2010–2013 Dodge Ram Diesel): Built for maximum off-road travel, stability, and control with up to 37″ tires.

Important: While the Base Kit installs on its own, pairing it with a Sway Bar and Rear Leaf Spring option is required to unlock the full performance, lift, and suspension travel of the Dominator System.

Required Components

Base Kit Includes

• Linear-Rate Coils
• Carli Tuned King 3.0 Remote Reservoir Shocks, Stainless Shafts, Short Reservoir Mounts, Limit Straps
• Track Bar
• Fabricated Shock Tower
• Rear Shock Gusset Kit
• 4" Hole Saw and Arbor

Sway Bar Options

Increased suspension travel alters factory sway bar geometry. Correcting it improves stability, articulation, and body control while preventing binding.

• Torsion Sway Bar - 3" Lift: Best ride-quality improvement per dollar, allows freer suspension movement without sacrificing control. Fits 0–3″ front lift. Requires removal of the factory electronic sway bar on Power Wagons.

Rear Leaf Options

Rear leaf springs support the truck’s weight, provide lift, improve ride quality, reduce axle wrap and wheel hop, and maintain proper suspension travel.

• Diesel Full Progressive Leaf Spring Kit – 1″ Lift: Provides 1″–2″ of rear lift with a slight rear-high stance, softens initial spring rate, reduces axle wrap and wheel hop, allows up to 15″ of travel, and fits 4″ axle tubes. Light ¾-ton payload capacity.
• Diesel Full Progressive Leaf Spring Kit – 1″ Lift HD: Designed for constant 1,500 lb loads while maintaining improved ride quality and up to 15″ of suspension travel. Fits 4.0″ axle tubes.
• Diesel Full Progressive Leaf Spring Kit - 1" Lift HD: Provides 1"-2" rear lift for a slight rear-high stance with Carli 3" systems, softens the initial spring rate at ride height, minimizes axle wrap and wheel hop, designed for constant 1,500 lb loads, allows up to 15" of suspension travel with the factory shackle, and fits a 4.0" axle tube.

Optional Upgrades

 

• Fabricated Leaf Spring Shackles: Reduce rear stiffness, improve articulation, and smooth suspension movement; 1/4″ steel with greasable, rebuildable bushings.
• Long Travel Airbags (1″–2″ Rear Lift): Maintain ride quality while towing or hauling; support up to 2,000 lbs per bag and allow full axle articulation.
• Ram Extended Control Arms: Improve axle positioning and steering stability; heavy-duty steel construction with added tire clearance for up to 35″ tires.
• Low Mount Steering Stabilizer – Stainless: Reduces wobble and corrects right-tire pull on T-style steering; adjustable and compatible with optional differential guard.
• High Mount Steering Stabilizer – T-Style Lifted: Improves steering control on leveled and lifted trucks; not compatible with factory Power Wagon sway bars.
• Opposing Steering Stabilizer Kit – T-Style Lifted: Dual opposing stabilizers correct all radial tire pull and include a differential guard for maximum steering control.
• Weld-In Rear Shock Mount – Driver Side: Reinforces the weak factory mount to safely support 3.0″ rear shocks; heavy-duty weld-on design.
• Fabricated Axle Truss: Prevents axle bending under hard off-road use; 1/4″ cold-rolled steel with internal X-bracing and C-gussets (weld-on).
• Front Hydro-Bump Kit – 3″ Lift: Carli-specific inverted 2.0″ King hydro bumps engage the final 2.5″ of travel, providing a controlled compression zone for aggressive off-road use (weld-on).
