Dodge Ram Suspension and Lift Kits - Carli Suspension's Dodge Ram Leveling Kit

It never fails, someone always says this in every suspension thread. Kore makes a good product, just because it's cheaper than Carli doesn't mean it sucks. Some guys can't/don't want to pay that much. Which is why so many people buy the HBS kits. If you want to dump a lot of money in suspension go with Carli. If you want something reasonably priced and better than spacers, go with Kore.

I like my HBS leveling kit just add some shocks to your order.

dodge suspension by toughness:

THUREN/CARLI more or less tied...

Kore is ok....but, has horrid customer service....

Lorenz is by far the worst of the four...

definitely kore i have 3 buddys that have it and its well worth it

01ram2500 · 10-22-2009, 08:57 PM

sounds like Kore is what Im gonna do. may try and do a little research on top gun customz as that would save some money, will leveling it affect the towing capabilities much?

I have the leveling kit from Top Gun Customz and really like it. The ride is much better but be sure and get an adjustable track bar so you can recenter the axle (funds permitting). I went with the 3rd gen adjustable track bar and it made a huge difference in handling. The only other thing missing in the Top Gun Customz kit is the sway bar links but you can get them later from Carli, Kore, or whoever...I still haven't bought any for mine but it handles great. The real benefit to getting the coils from Kore or Carli is that they are progressive rate. The coils from Top Gun Customz are made by Skyjacker and I do not think they are progressive rate (softer initially then stiffer further down in the coil).

I vote Carli, ride is soooo much better than stock, never drove in a core truck so cant speak for it 'cept for the threads I read.
there is a thread somewhere that compared all three
Carli/kore/Lorenz
I'll dig around and see if I can find it.
