Carli's focus in building this control arm kit was to have the best product on the market. These control arms are 1/2" longer than O.E.M and are built out of mild steel box tube. TIG welded to the end of each arm is a greasable17-4 stainless steel ball center surrounded by a proprietary bushing and joint washers. Having these spherical joints on each end eliminates resistance caused by rubber bushing style set ups, in return creating a smoother ride. These control arms are finished off with a Satin Black powder coat to ensure long term protection from corrosion.

THE DETAILS:
The 1994-2002 Ram 2500/3500 utilizes a 5-Link front suspension. Comprising this link system are upper and lower control arms to hold the axle fore/aft while the track bar serves as the lateral link to minimize lateral shift.

When lifting the front end of a straight axle truck, you?re essentially pushing the axle further away from the frame at ride-height. As the travel is not perfectly linear, the new ride height will set the front axle off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed.

The systems Carli designs for these trucks range from 2.5?-3? of front lift. Three inches of front lift equates to an axle shifted toward the driver?s side 3/4? and back toward the cab 1/2?. Although this is perfectly operable when the factory control arms and track bar are in good condition, its always recommended to upgrade the trackbar with an adjustable unit to shift the axle back toward the passenger side and provide a stronger link with less deflection for the lifted application, and a set of extended control arms to shift the axle forward to its new center of travel.

The construction of these arms starts with 0.120? Box Steel mated to in-house machined joint-cups. The mild-steel center sections are welded inboard of center to offset the link as far from the tire as possible for optimal tire clearance.

Carli prides themselves on their joints. In a market abundant with hat-bushing and crush sleeve equipped arms, these spherical bearing arms are leaps ahead of the competition. As described above, the travel of the Ram?s front axle is non linear. It travels up and down and back and forth. This is a non issue for a standard 3-piece hat bushing. The problem is in the substantial lateral shift of the axle thanks to the track-bar design. This side to side movement falls outside the operating range of hat bushings meant for a linear load effectively hot-spotting and egging out the bushing hole as they bind when the axle articulates.

The answer? A spherical joint design allowing far more lateral misalignment in addition to the up and down/fore and aft movement. At the heart of the joint assembly, you?ll find Carli's in-house machined 17-4 stainless ball center. This is surrounded by a proprietary bushings and joint washers. The assembly is preloaded into the cup and retained with a snap-ring. Last but certainly not least, a zerk fitting is added. for ease of servicing.

Over the years, Carli learned a LOT about bushings. Originally, they started with Currie Johnny Joints. Although they were high quality joints and better than anything on the market (at the time), there was room for improvement. Now, ball centers are machined in-house from 17-4 stainless bar-stock. This is a much more corrosion resistant material in addition to being higher strength. While still using Currie, Carli had seen some stress fractures in the joints at the Ram torque specs,but the replacement in-house machined ball centers took without issue! While designing them, they also took the opportunity to oversize the mating surfaces for the most contact area to the control arm frame/axle mounts. They?re substantially larger than the Currie and 0.050? oversized from even a factory control arm!

Next up, Carli went to work on a project with Energy Suspension designing new bushings for the ball centers. The Currie were great quality, but often difficult to get grease into. It wasn?t uncommon to need to articulate the truck to line the zerk fitting port with the split in the bushings. The redesigned bushings have grease channels engineered into all surfaces to ensure easy greasing and proper grease migration. Further, they?re not interlocked like the old bushings allowing more room for grease and easier joint articulation.

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.
