2015 Ram 2500 Carli/Thuren Build W/Four Wheel Camper

[Gibby56]

From what I understand, Thuren will not touch Carli shocks and vise versa (unless things have changed). Truck looks great!

That might be true. I’ll have to look into that. I know they have done some trick stuff for trucks local to me that didn’t purchase the shocks through them.

Another option is doing an AccuTune shock tuning day in Johnson Valley. The owner is a great guy and has done some incredible work for a lot of friends of mine.

I put this on the truck right away,it often has some type of tree litter on it when I lift the hood.

That’s awesome, thank you for sharing that! I’ve never noticed that filter before on my many times visiting their website.

Quick little update. The 35's were really getting low and I have some camping trips coming up that might involve some snow. I was really happy with the grabbers but they did not offer a 37 for a 17" Rim with a weight rating I felt comfortable with. I ended up with 37x13.50 Toyo MT's and so far they have exceeded my expectations!




I thought they would look large in person but they fit the truck proportionally in my opinion.

The Toyo MT's are the best tire I have run so far.

Thank you!!

Getting any rub at full lock?

None at all on the radius arms or sway bar. I am not sure if it is because of the Carli arms and sway bar are shaped slightly different than the original.

I do get minor rub on the pinch weld when turning into a driveway at speed, but I am going to address that this weekend with a cutoff wheel. Should clear full lock and tucked after the pinch weld is addressed

I knew this was going to happen as soon as I spent the money on 2.5's :Wow1:

I can't wait to hear the reviews on these. Tempted enough already

Over the holiday weekend the wife and I got invited to a friends cabin up at Shaver Lake. After some talking we decided to do the Bald Mountain trail. This is probably one of my favorite spots in California. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous and it is a good trail for groups. It is easy enough for a stock 4wd vehicle to get to the lookout tower at the top with some skillful driving but still has some fun lines for the more experienced/built rigs. We were sad we missed the snow this year but we still had a great time.

Dremel and a large hammer works great. Do you have any pics of the 13.50 from the side, just trying to see how much wider they are than 12.50

I love them. The main reason I bought them was for the spherical joint at the frame side and the limit strap mount built in. Also, I have seen the factory arms bend on the trail. Granted it was in a section the truck shouldn't have been in..

Yea, a cutoff wheel made quick work of the pinch weld. No more issues now!

Is this the angle you're looking for?

Thanks brother, now I just need some nicer headlights
