Upper Control Arm
With the Commuter system, it’s not necessary to purchase the Carli Upper Control Arm. The factory arm DOES limit the travel of the Commuter kit. The Commuter kit is actually capable of about 1" more travel than it's spec'd with BUT, we had to install a short internal spacer in the coilover to limit the travel of the shock and ensure customers were not topping out on the factory ball joint in the upper control arm. The King Shocks we offer include our control arms and achieve this extra 1" down travel. Being more budget and on-road focused, we limited the travel of the Commuters for safe operation with the factory control arm. If a customer decided to purchase the Commuter for it's on-road prowess and elects to purchase the Carli Control Arms, the internal spacer could be removed by the user (or user's selected shock service facility) to achieve the same suspension travel as the Performance Kits.
Extended Brake Line Kit
If one were to purchase the Commuter System and the Carli Upper Control Arm, then removed the internal shock spacer to achieve the full down-travel of which these shocks are capable, this brake line kit would be required as the factory lines will not be sufficient length. These are NOT required for the standard Commuter System.
The Carli-SPEC Commuter for the 2019+ Ram 1500 is the first of it’s kind within our 1500 offerings. The front coilover is a 2.5″ Diameter, non reservoir. In our custom tuning process, we found the additional surface area of the 2.5″ piston (vs. the 2.0″ piston in our previous Fox offering) resulted in a far better ride both on and off-road for the heavier front end. The empty bed is adequately handled by the included 2.0″ Internal reservoir shock.
On road ride tuned in to a beautifully smooth result – in fact, it’s one of the best rides we feel we’ve achieved to date. When the pavement ends, the ride is fantastic and controlled but, these shocks were travel limited to be compatible with the factory upper control arm AND are non-reservoir. Pushing them hard in the dirt will result in more frequent service intervals and top-out events as you find the limits of the down-travel bottle-necked by the factory control arm. If you’re looking for a significant improvement in off-road performance, we recommend jumping up to the Performance System equipped with King Reservoir Shocks and Carli extended control arms.
