Suspension upgrade cost's thought's on Carli/Kore.

[topcat]

I have been looking for a suspension upgrade for awhile now,and have decided on a Carli system. Kore has a good system also with almost the same spring assembly design. Both wrapped very close as to not infringe on each others patented design. Kore had to be ordered to your house,with shipping charge's are what they are today it came real close to what Carli was charging for it's front end kit upgrade spring/shocks. They also included swaybar end links in their frontend system. Kore does not. As far as the steering shock stabilizer goes the Kore stabilizer was more money. So that too went to Carli. As for the Track bar goes I did not see a part number for a 3 gen truck, so that too went to Carli too. Bilstein 5100's round out the deal this cost was the same both charging the same for front and rear shocks. Both charged the same for installation. I have decided to buy Carli's airbag system also,this is a manual inflate system or can be pumped by a onboard air compressor. If any one has this system please chime in on this thread as to what your thought's are on them,verse Firestone,Airride,and the rest. Carli's airbag system has the firestone boot's installed on their system. Location also came into play them being 20 minute's down the road.

Carli should work out well for you. Their product line keeps expanding and expanding. It'll be interesting to read of their 1000 impressions.

I think you will be very happy with your choice. I have used the airbags off road for quite some time,The ride difference between the Carli long travel bags and the generics is huge due to the travel allowed.

They get used on the road and off

I have about 5K miles on Carli's Starter kit w/ steering stabilizer, track bar and Solid Steel Industries DSS and I'm happy with it. Only problem is I wish bought the 2. 0 or the 2. 5 Pin Top instead. Now I'm saving money to upgrade to one of those two shocks. I may just buy another beater truck too. All of the info on TDR was great and led me to decide on Carli.

The information from TDR's website has been a huge factor in the truck that I chose. And the products that I have purchase to upgrade this truck. I just recently paid for a subscription to TDR. I can not say enough about the valuable info that comes from this site,and TDR magazine. Carli shop foreman was very informative,and showed me the design of the parts that are to be installed next week. They had just got back from the La Paz, Mx. All their race/chase truck's were all around the shop. They got back at midnight and was opened at 9:00am Monday. They all looked tried. I also got to meet their Canadian racing friends from the North also. I can not wait to install the airbag system in the back. I know it will make a huge difference when we decide on either a cabover or a travel trailer. It truly is a time to buy a travel trailer. We had gone to the travel show and most were marked down to around 40% off of list. Bob 4x4 is that a Deaver spring assembly tied to that rear axle?

Carli's suspension system is installed,very nice system. Works real well. Bob4x4 I saw those Deaver spring packs at their shop also very nice. There is no plans for a offroad front bumper. Ask Carli when he gets a chance to come on our website and discuss some of the issue's on 1,2,3 gen trucks. But he is busy, Jesse might be able to when he gets time. I have ask if he would like to come on and be a support vender. He did not say no,so he might. They are constantly testing and also looking at new product. I am not at liberty to say more than this so I hope they will registar with TDR. Have my eye on those airbag system,those are the real deal. Huge extension, very state of art,design...
