Upgrade the look and handling of your Ford F250/350 Super Duty with the Carli Suspension 2.5"/3.5" Pintop 2.5 Leveling System CS-FLVL-PT25-17. The Backcountry on steroids, take the description for the Backcountry and throw an exponent on it. This system is their most popular, all-around suspension system. The on-road ride is terrific, sharp edges are rounded and light to medium duty offroad escapades become completely controlled and uneventful.The Pintop is a Jack-of-all-trades system from which every Super Duty owner would benefit. Raising the Super Duty Platform then adding the 2.5" diameter shocks (55% more piston surface area than a 2.0" shock) will support the argument that these trucks should come equipped with 2.5" shocks from the factory. The higher end systems will get you more off-road capability, yes, and even a bit more on-road. The premium paid for these systems; however, doesn't compare to the on and off-road ride quality per dollar spent on the Pintop. For these reasons, it will likely remain their bestseller for years to come.Pintop system boasts Carli specific, blueprinted, King 2.5" shocks on all four corners. In an effort to provide customers with the best product, they designed a custom piston to determine proper base flow rates to ensure the shock works well in the heavy-duty truck platform; Carli then tuned the shocks around the custom pistons based on the only thing that matters to us, seat-of-the-pants feel. They round off ALL their King shocks with shafts machined and polished from a solid piece of 17-4 Stainless. Unlike King's standard shafts, there is no coating to wear off, weather can't hurt them and if there is a small chip, you can round the edges with emery cloth to ensure the seal housing isn't damaged as they're not brittle like the stock, hardened shafts. The shocks are finished with King oil good to -55 F. Note that all King shocks are built with a plated steel body. If subjected to inclement weather for extended periods, Carli recommends wrapping your shocks in 3M to provide a moisture barrier that's replaceable.The truck will sit 2.5" higher in the front (3.5" on 2020+ models) and have more wheel travel thanks to the lighter rate Carli Coil Springs. The adjustable track bar centers the front axle and stainless brake lines firm up braking and ensure there is enough line for the newfound travel. To round off the front end, they include caster shims to tighten the steering and a fabricated, high-clearance bump stop drop to keep the springs clear from contacting the factory bump stop. The front sway bar geometry will need to be addressed with your choice of a sway bar drop bracket (more economical, maintains the factory sway bar end links) or their extended sway bar links - a FAR more robust option. The replacement End Links are the only option compatible with a plow bracket.The rear can be outfitted with a replacement Full Progressive Spring Pack (reduces capacity to a "light" 3/4-ton) or factory leaf-pack modifying Progressive Add-a-Pack (eliminates the factory block and maintains payload capacity; pairs with a rear bump stop drop). This is where the F250 and F350 are a bit different. Since 2008, the main spring packs on these two trucks is different; the F250 has a lighter rate spring pack than its 350 counterpart. The F250 Add-a-Pack equipped systems are a nice improvement over stock; the F350 with the Add-a-Pack is still very stiff in the rear as the main pack doesn't move much unless loaded. They recommend the Full Replacement Leaf Spring packs for both trucks but especially the F350 given the super-stiff factory springs. If capacity is a concern, an aftermarket airbag system should be installed to compliment the full progressive leaf springs to restore the F350 capacity. They recommend a system that will allow the airbags to disconnect from the lower mount during suspension cycling to ensure you're able to take advantage of all your rear suspension travel. The full progressive leaf spring pack will shift the axle slightly forward in the wheel well to ensure maximum tire clearance for a 37" M/T at full compression.Kit

They're known to rub the radius arm, sway bar and most concerning - Brake Lines. Factory tires and factory wheels will work without issue but they DO NOT recommend running oversized tires on factory wheels. On 2.5" Ford Systems, they recommend 17"-18" wheels, no more than 9" wide with 5.5" of backspacing with Carli Fabricated Radius Arms or 5" Backspace with factory arms; 5" will require a bit more trimming. Tires, 37x12.5" will fit with some trimming; 35" will likely fit without trimming. The more rubber, the better the small bump compliance will be at proper inflation pressures. The ride will firm up as you go larger in wheel diameter.Required and Optional Parts to support this system: Sway Bar Options (REQUIRED): CS-FSBD-LVL-1723 or CS-FEL-LVL-17 or CS-FTSB-LVL-17Leaf Spring Options (REQUIRED): CS-FPAP-LVL-17 or CS-FFSP-LVL-17 or CS-FFSP-LVL-17-HD or CS-FFSP-LVL-17-XHD or CS-FFSP-LVL-17-XXHDLeaf Spring Shackle: CS-FSHACKLE-11Radius Arms: CS-FARA-LVL-05Steering Stabilizer - High Mount: CS-FHMSS-17Steering Stabilizer - Low Mount: CS-FLMSS-05
