Carli Suspension

I'm thinking about lifting a 2021 F-350 to put some 37s on. As such, I'm wondering if I use Carli Suspension since the Tremor is higher than an FX4, will the Tremor still end up higher after a Carli lift or will both end up exactly the same height after being lifted?
Also, Carli states that their lifts are good for up to 37" tires, but is there any suspension for 40" tires?

This one has 38s. He mentions 40s at some point in the video. You might want to call them and ask. I think they are probably the most knowledgeable group on Carli.

I have a BDS 4" with 38's. I would go at least 6" with 40's.

I suppose it would depend on what Carli parts you end up using. The Tremor uses a taller block in the rear than a non Tremor, so if their kit retains that block and adds additional lift its possible the rear would still be higher on the Tremor. The fronts would net the same final height, Tremor or not.

Ah, good to know because since I plan on lifting it and adding a front locker might as well go for the FX4 instead and save myself a few thousand dollars on the Tremor; can even opt for the 8' box this way. Are there any other differences between the Tremor and the FX4 other than lift, suspension, tires, and the front LSD?

Fender flares, smaller diameter front sway bar and additional drive modes. Thats all I can think of.

Why even go FX4?

Going FX4 because I want a rear locker and I couldn't find one for a Dana M275 aftermarket. What's the purpose of a smaller diameter sway bar?

The locker is a stand alone option, not included with the FX4, but actually just a required option with thw FX4. Smaller diameter sway bar would theoretically allow more flex.

Carli has an even better solution for the sway bar.

Ah, very interesting, thanks for the info! What about the skid plates, can I get these standalone as well? Because apparently it's the only option, factory skid plates, since there's now virtually zero aftermarket support for the F-350.

Unlike the locker, the skids are part of the $400 FX4 package but can be ordered seperate for $100. The factory skid plates are two skids, one under the fuel tank and one very small one under the transfer case. The fuel tank skid would provide some protection but the transfer case skid is questionable.

Yeah, that's what I've heard, which is why it's a shame that there's no aftermarket skid plates for the F-350. If the locker is available as an add on and the skid plates are too, then since I'm going to be replacing the suspension and tires anyways I might as well opt for a lower priced F-350.
