Here are the comparison photos of my black Lariat with a 4.5” Commuter that has the rear add-a-packs, next to my buddies completely stock KR.

Also, according to carli you can drop the back end up to 3/4" by removing the small spacers under the leaf pack. not sure if they meant under the add a pack or what. but like mentioned earlier, they'll add .5" lift if you throw them on as they're meant to be ran.

Your truck looks phenomenal, Brent. Hopefully mine will sit just like that. I do have a question though.. what size tires are you running?

EDIT: I saw you are running 37x13.50 from another post. Thanks.

Ok guys I’m looking at the carli 2.5 leveling kit, I have already purchased my wheels(hostile sprockets 20x12 -44), will this kit ride like **** with these wheels? I really want to run these wheels and there’s plenty of guys on -44 wheels that just have leveling kits installed(BDS etc). Can anyone offer input in this ?

if you need to haul or go offroad, those wheels are a big mistake but maybe thats not a concearn. also theres added strain on the balljoints and unit bearings. not a huge deal for a pavement pounder however

You'll be fine, it will ride rougher than 18's obviously, but itll do what you want.

Just got pictures back from the shop.... 4.5" Backcountry 2.0 System with Add-A-Packs, radius arms, and steering stabilizer.

We ran into a problem with my wheels I had picked out so now I'm back to square one. Which kind of has me thinking.......... Would I be able to fit 40's? I would definitely like to avoid rubbing but I know that's asking a lot. I did order a 2wd front air dam lol

Does anyone have measurements how much a Carli 4.5 actually lifted the front of the truck?My truck 2018 350 Platinum CCLB 4x4 with 6.7 has a 3” rake now and want to see about doing the add-a-packs and how much it will raise the back.What has everyone done for speedo calibration,I have seen the forscan thread and seems like they still are having a few issues but is that only on certain trucks?I will be running 37x 12.5 tires with 9” rims and +1 and have seen several trucks with radius arms and some without do they really help with all of the front end geometry?

Carli First Ride

Carli coil over with bypass on my 6.4. First run was down the washboards on Racetrack Rd. Death Valley.




Great, now I have to upgrade my whole braking system as it was a little hard checking up for the corners.

Carli doesn't seem to mention that part do they. Six piston calipers recommended with our coil over bypass kit would have been nice.

Anyone have a discount code for Wilwood

That's not a 17+, they don't make that kit for our trucks.

I'll post some when I get home tonight. Yes on 35's with a 2 1/2" lift. Uses all stock brackets no drop brackets needed as I just cam off of a 6" lift and had to source all the OEM brackets.
