Default Carli Suspension..

Hey guys.. Im curious, does anyone know if Carli will make up a front leveling kit, similar to what Lorenz offers? I am looking at going with a front leveling kit from either lorenz, carli, or thuren, but I don't really need the mini packs for the rear. Only parts I would really need would be the front coils, and front and rear shocks.

I think they do, but I havent dealt with them at all. I have the KORE HD levelling kit and absolutely love it....I have heard that KORE has recently raised their prices, dont know if the others have.

Im sure if you contacted them, they would be able to do it....putting brands aside, the difference it made was well worth the money!!

We may have to do that bro.. I emailed Sage Carli today and he said he'd do it, but he really recommends the entire kit. If I do the whole starter system, Its gonna be a while, as I have to look for the money I am also still looking at the Lorenz kit, as his leveling kit with new front coils and bilsteins is only $565, and I've heard good things about it. I can get his leveling kit, and a set of rear bilsteins for the truck for less than JUST the leveling kit from carli. I talked to Sage and the just the front coils and shocks were over 900 bucks. Ive heard good things about both lorenz and carli, as well as thuren, but who knows where I will end up.

I think I've decided, when I do something, it will more than likely be the carli starter system, and thuren's track bar. Thanks for the help, and if anyone has any pics of the Carli or thuren stuff, I would appreciate it.

so i finally went by carli last week. they have a new kit for the 2nd gen trucks coming out. its basically between the 8k kit and the basic. sage is a great guy. took me for a ride in his truck and i was impressed!

Hold on, Maybe I'm old school but 2500 bucks for a leveling kit? I hope your talking at least 4in of lift. I'm sorry but unless its a truck thats thrown into corners like a WRX, thats a BIG waste of money, spend 75 bucks get the coil spacers and no one will be any wiser, all 10+ I have ever done have rode and handled like stock, and no $2500 worth of parts could make a diesel pickup with the worst weight distribution almost possible handle well to justify spending $2500, just my two cents, sorry for the rant, kinda cranky right now
