Also the 2.5 system comes w/ Carli's aftermarket towers (the stem top I noted above is for guys who have the Starter or 2.0 system that want to upgrade to the King's w/o spending money on new towers). All other systems (2.65 & 3.0) come w/ Carli's towers. These systems are for off road speeds & of course great on road ride/handling.
Carli does alot of R&D in every possible driving environment before they release to the public (knowing such things like stock towers will not hold up to abuse to off road speed type terrian along w/ other flaws of stock components). That's why when a customer is unsure what system to get. Carli will point them in the right direction for thier truck use.
