The Carli Pintop System is a premium suspension upgrade for F-250/F-350 owners who want serious on-road and off-road performance. Featuring 2.5″ King remote reservoir shocks and Carli-tuned multi-rate coils, it delivers more control, better bottom-out resistance, and a smoother, more confident ride.

The system starts with a Base Kit that includes shocks, track bar, brake lines, caster shims, bump stop drops, and radius arm drops. It must be paired with a rear leaf spring option to complete the setup.

• 4.5" Pintop Base Kit (2017–2019 F250/F350 Diesel): Built for earlier trucks that need less lift for optimal ride height and performance.

Important: A Base Kit alone is not a complete suspension system. To function properly, it must be paired with a Rear Leaf Spring option.
