The Details: With the release of the 3″ Long Arm, comes the Long-Arm equipped Systems. The decision has been made to discontinue the older, short-arm variation of the Unchained 3.5″ in favor of a Long-Arm equipped, extended travel version at which you’re looking now. This system requires customers to cut off the factory control arm mounts in favor of the Carli Drop Brackets to house our internally gusseted, fully fabricated Long Arm System. These arms are over 50% longer than the factory arms boasting 3/16” cold-rolled steel construction, internal gusseting, extended travel capability, more linear travel stroke and a better ride quality given their length and position parallel to the ground.
To take advantage of the Long Arm’s capability, we’ve included a 6.25” tall, slide over-design shock tower to ease installation and accommodate the longer (11.25” Travel) shocks, included 1” front bump stop drops and limit straps to ensure customers can dish repetitive beatings to their King 3.5” shocks with confidence of full & safe utilization of the shock’s travel. In a short arm truck, it’s not uncommon to see 7” of up-travel (metal to metal) and 3” of down-travel. The combination of the long arm system’s 6.25” tall tower and 1” bump drop allows for our 11.25” travel shock and shifts the front axle’s operating range down 1”; the result, 2.25” more down-travel when compared to a short-arm system only sacrificing 1” of up-travel. This is a far more balanced setup spec’d with 6” of up travel and 5.25” of down-travel ensuring the front end maintains contact over rough terrain. If you’re looking for a great daily driver to beat up on the weekends, grab a Performance 2.5”; if you’re looking for a no-compromise off-road system to push the envelope of which the Ram platform is considered capable, this is it.
