The first system featuring King Off Road 2.5 Race Shocks and Carli's first premier suspension kit. The Performance 2.5 has been around since day one and, naturally, has been through the longest refinement period of any Carli system. Sporting a plush street drive that will give you a "car like" feel, while still letting you pound some humps in the dirt. The first seasons chasing and running support in Baja were done using the Performance 2.5 system on Carli's own Dodge Ram trucks.

CARLI'S SIGNATURE LONG ARM SYSTEM

The Performance 2.5 System is just another example of Carli's unwillingness to cut a single corner. Sure, they could have included short control arms, and a mini pack out back, but they knew the capabilities of the shocks surpassed some of these items and that ultimately the performance of the suspension would not be fully utilized unless other upgrades were standard equipment to the system. That's why this kit is treated to Carli's signature Long Arm System and Full Progressive Rear Springs along with plenty of other high end components. The Performance 2.5 will do just about anything you can fathom, whether its nailing a whoop section or delivering you the most controlled and comfortable ride on your commute to work.

With the release of the 3" Long Arm, comes the Long-Arm equipped Systems. The decision has been made to discontinue the older, short-arm variation of the Performance 2.5" in favor of a Long-Arm equipped, extended travel version at which you're looking now. This system requires customers to cut off the factory control arm mounts in favor of the Carli Drop Brackets to house the internally gusseted, fully fabricated Long Arm System. These arms are over 50% longer than the factory arms boasting 3/16" construction, internal gusseting, extended travel capability, more linear travel stroke and a better ride quality given their length and position parallel to the ground.

SLIDE OVER DESIGN SHOCK TOWER

To take advantage of the Long Arm's capability, Carli has included a 6.25" tall, slide over-design shock tower to ease installation and accommodate the longer (12" Travel) shocks. Included 1" front bump stop drops and limit straps ensure customers can dish repetitive beatings to their King 2.5" shocks with confidence of full and safe utilization of the shock's travel. In a short arm truck, it's not uncommon to see 7" of up-travel (metal to metal) and 3" of down-travel. The combination of the long arm system's 6.25" tall tower and 1" bump drop allows for the 12" travel shock and shifts the front axle's operating range down 1"; the result, 3" more down-travel when compared to a short-arm system only sacrificing 1" of up-travel. This is a far more balanced setup spec'd with 6" of up travel and 6" of down-travel ensuring the front end maintains contact over rough terrain.

CARLI TUNED LONG TRAVEL 2.5" KING SHOCKS

This system boasts Carli specific, blueprinted, Long-Travel King 2.5" shocks on all four corners. For the Long Arm system, Carli designed a second, off-road oriented 5-Port custom piston opposed to the 3-Ports in a short-arm Pintop 2.5" System. This piston and long arm tuning profile alters flow of the pressurized shock oil displacing a wider surface area of the tuning shims to increase bottom-out on sharp hits while providing a predictable, comfortable street ride. ALL of Carli's King shocks are treated to 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 is far less likely to 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, we recommend wrapping your shocks in 3M to provide a moisture barrier that's replaceable.

Your truck will sit 3"-3.25" higher in the front (year/cab configuration dependent) with 70% more suspension travel than the factory platform thanks to the taller, linear rate coil springs. These systems require the extended travel capability of the linear spring as the free-height of the multi-rate coils was too short to reach the droop potential.

TORSION SWAY BAR OPTIONS

As this is a high-performance, no-compromise system, it is highly recommended to upgrade the sway bar with Carli's Torsion Sway Bar, but extended end links are optional, and Full Progressive Leaf Springs are standard. The Carli Torsion Sway Bar removes the entire factory sway bar assembly replacing it with a torsion bar supported by fabricated drop brackets and delrin bushings. Fabricated sway bar arms and dual 5/8" FK heim end links round off the package.

TORSION SWAY BAR SPECIFICATIONS:

Selection of the Torsion Sway Bar Replacement will not Require size selection as the entire sway bar assembly is replaced. We need to know if you have a 10mm or 12mm end link. The way you can verify this is if you take an end wrench and measure the nut that compresses the rubber end link bushing. It will be 10mm if it takes a 15 mm socket and it will be 12mm if it takes an 18mm socket. Please verify before ordering.
  • Easily the best bang for the buck upgrade for ride quality
  • Allows front suspension to move freely without giving up control
  • For trucks with 0-3" of front lift
  • Requires removal of electronic sway bar on Power Wagons
  • Torsion Bar may be black or silver zinc; depends on supply chain availability. NOT requestable.

REAR LEAF SPRING OPTIONS

The Full Progressive Leaf Pack lift the rear 1.5-2" by replacing the entire factory leaf spring assembly increasing travel and drastically increasing comfort throughout the entire usable travel stroke at the cost of a 15% payload reduction from a standard 2500. This payload reduction can be supplemented back to factory 3500 SRW capacity with the addition of the Long Travel Airbags for the best of both worlds; ride quality and payload capacity/load control.

STANDARD FULL PROGRESSIVE LEAF SPRING KIT SPECIFICATIONS:
  • 2" rear lift maintains a slight rear-height stance with Carli 3" systems
  • Softens initial spring rate at ride height
  • Minimizes axle wrap / wheel hop
  • Reduces payload to light 3/4 ton capacity
  • Capable of 15" of suspension travel with factory shackle
  • Fits 4" axle tube
HEAVY DUTY FULL PROGRESSIVE LEAF SPRING KIT SPECIFICATIONS:
  • 2" rear lift maintains slight rear-height stance with Carli 3" systems
  • Softens initial spring rate at ride height
  • Minimizes axle wrap / wheel hop
  • Designed for those with 1,500 lbs in bed at all times
  • Capable of 15" of suspension travel with factory shackle fits 4.0" axle tube

ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR

When lifting the front end of a straight-axle truck, the front axle is pulled off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed. Three inches of front lift equates to an axle shifted toward the driver's side 3/4" and back toward the cab 1/2". This system includes an Adjustable Track Bar to push the axle back toward the passenger side and provide a stronger link with less deflection for the lifted application.

WHEEL AND TIRE FITMENT

This system will fit up to a 37"x12.5" tire with on 17"-18" wheels with 5-5.25" of backspacing. If considering Fiberglass Fenders, a 4.5" Backspacing on a 9" Wide wheels will fit up to a 37x13.5" wide tire. This system was tuned with 17" wheels on, 37" Toyo M/T at 40F/35R. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
  • WHEELS: Carli Recommends a 17"-18" Wheel, no more than 9" wide with 5.75" of Backspacing on Leveling Systems
  • TIRES: 37", 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.
  • FITTING 37" TIRES: 37" Tires will fit with the above wheel specifications if the system is equipped with Full Replacement Leaf Springs and Control Arms..
  • 2013 2500 APPLICATION: This kit will NOT fit a 2013 2500 as the driver's side rear shock mounts do not fit the 2013 models. Further, there is clearance issues between the shock tower and A/C lines due to the reconfiguration of the 2013 models.

Sorry, Brother. Epson smashed you.
I have been a long time Epson user. I have owned their printers, all-in-ones, movie projectors, and even a receipt scanner. In all cases, I have always found them to be the best performance per dollar of any of the big guys. There kind of like Panasonic in cameras where people may talk about some other big names, but what you get per dollar is always good from them. Somewhere along the way, I got disillusioned with companies charging me $60 per pack of ink. I'd get really mad when I couldn't print black text because red or something was out. For a few years, I gave up and just went black and white laser printer. The toner was dirt cheap, and my printing cost dropped to virtually nothing. But, my ability to pront pictures was gone. No more color at all. I'd have to go to a print business if I needed color copies. Well, this finally changed that. The EcoTank is a great design. The "Eco" stands for the economic cheap ink it takes, and the "Tank" refers to the big holding tanks for the ink and give long ink life. Epson probably makes the best ink, but many manufacturers sell inks for this printer. There's none of the stupid compatability issues with cartridges. It's 2026, so of course it all connects wirelessly over WiFi. It's wonderful. The only issue is that you might have to do a little more maintenance to keep it reliable. If you let old ink carts sit too long, you could just replace them. Here that isn't an option. I've seen Youtube recommendations that say you should probably print a color page every week or two, so factor that in to keep it running well. I love it. Five stars.

Solid Printer for Regular Use
I ordered this Epson EcoTank ET-2903 because I wanted a printer that did not make me feel held hostage by tiny ink cartridges. The refillable tank system is the main reason this printer stands out. Being able to see the ink levels on the front and refill from bottles makes the whole process feel less wasteful and less stressful. Setup was straightforward. Filling the ink tanks was easier than I expected because the bottles are keyed to the right color, so you are not guessing where each one goes. I did not have a mess during setup, and that was my biggest concern with a tank printer. Print quality is strong for normal home and office use. Black text comes out clean and easy to read, and color prints are bright enough for school projects, labels, recipes, forms, and casual photo printing. It is not the fastest printer I have ever used, but the tradeoff is lower ink stress and better long-term value. The wireless printing is convenient once it is connected. I like being able to print from my phone or laptop without moving files around. The scanner and copier are also useful for everyday paperwork, receipts, and documents. A couple practical notes: this is a rear-feed paper tray style printer, so plan where you are putting it because it needs some clearance. Also, it does not automatically print double-sided, so duplex printing takes a manual flip. For value, the ink tank system is what makes this worth it. If you print regularly and are tired of buying cartridges, this is a smart home office upgrade.

Epson EcoTank ET-2903
Epson ecotank are great replacements for standard printers. The fact that you get to use the ink bottles rather than the rip off ink cartridges that only last a little while is an amazing benefit. They print well and have a good print quality, so much so that we have one for normal printing and one for sublimation printing. I do all my printing wireless and have the rate occurrence that it has connectivity issues, like all printers. It holds a good amount of paper making refills less often Than the cheaper printers. To me it has been perfect for my small home business.

Goodbye Ink Cartridges
I’ve used cartridge printers for years, and the EcoTank system is honestly the biggest selling point here. Filling the tanks was much easier than I expected thanks to the keyed bottles, and I didn’t make a mess during setup. Print quality is sharp for everyday documents, and color prints come out vibrant enough for school projects, photos, and crafts. The scanner works well, the wireless setup was straightforward, and being able to print directly from a phone is convenient. I also appreciate not having to constantly wonder if I’m about to run out of ink after a few dozen pages. The printer itself is fairly compact for an all-in-one unit and fits nicely on a desk. While it isn’t the fastest printer on the market, the long-term savings on ink and the hassle-free refill system make it a solid choice for a home office, students, or a family that prints regularly.

My Go-To Sublimation Paper — Flawless Results Every Time
Size: 8.5"x11", Size: 8.5"x11"
This is hands down the best sublimation paper I’ve used and the only one I continue to buy. I get a perfect transfer every single time—no fracturing, no fading, and no uneven results. The paper dries fast, which makes my workflow so much smoother, especially when I’m producing items in batches. I use this regularly to make air fresheners and tote bags for my small business, and the color payoff is always vibrant and crisp. The transfer rate is excellent, and it works beautifully on light-colored, high-quality polyester and other sublimation-ready surfaces. If you’re a small business owner or crafter who values consistency, quality, and ease of use, this paper is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it and will continue to repurchase.
